Physiotherapy for erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can have several causes, including reduced blood flow, pelvic floor dysfunction, the effects of prostate surgery or other pelvic procedures, and lifestyle factors that affect circulation and nerve function. Understanding what's driving it is where treatment begins, and that's exactly what your first assessment is for.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-intensity sound waves to stimulate blood flow, repair tissue, and encourage the formation of new blood vessels. It's painless, has no reported side effects, and addresses the physical causes of erectile dysfunction rather than temporarily masking them. It can also be used alongside other treatments you may already be receiving.

Your initial assessment begins with a thorough conversation about your history, your symptoms, and how things are affecting your day-to-day life. Your clinician will assess your pelvic floor and discuss which treatment approach makes most sense for you. Nothing will be rushed, and you'll leave with a clear picture of what’s happening and next steps.

It depends on what's causing your erectile dysfunction and how your body responds to treatment. Your clinician will give you a realistic picture after your first assessment and will review your progress throughout.
