Physiotherapy for prostate cancer

Ideally before your cancer treatment begins. Starting pelvic floor rehabilitation before surgery or radiotherapy gives you a head start on recovery and can improve outcomes significantly. If you've already had treatment, it's not too late. Many men come to us months or even years after their surgery and still see meaningful improvement. There's rarely a point at which physiotherapy can't help.

In most cases, yes. Urinary leakage after prostate surgery is very common, and pelvic floor physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to address it. The extent of improvement depends on a number of factors, including how long symptoms have been present and the nature of the surgery, but most men see real progress with the right rehabilitation programme. Your clinician will give you a realistic picture after your first assessment.

Yes. Pelvic floor dysfunction plays a significant role in erectile function, and targeted rehabilitation can make a meaningful difference for many men. It works alongside any other treatments you may be receiving, and your clinician will take your full picture into account when shaping the plan.

Your assessment begins with a thorough conversation about your treatment history, your current symptoms, and how things are affecting your day-to-day life. Where helpful, we use real-time ultrasound to assess the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, which is painless and non-invasive. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's going on and a plan that's been built around you.

It varies depending on the nature of your surgery or cancer treatment, how long symptoms have been present, and how your body responds. Your clinician will give you a realistic sense of what to expect after your first assessment and will review your progress with you throughout. Recovery isn't always linear, but most men see meaningful improvement when they stick with the programme, and your clinician will review your progress with you throughout.
