Do you experience pain in the pelvis, or rectum?
Do you experience pain in the testicles, penis or anus?
Do you have pain during intercourse, or with orgasm?

Pelvic and genital pain is a private and distressing problem, and it often remains hidden, with many men suffering alone. Pelvic floor muscles may be a part of the problem – they can be too tight which contributes to pain and dysfunction. At Glen Eira Physiotherapy Carnegie, we can help you. Our pelvic floor trained physiotherapist will perform a thorough assessment, explain your condition, and then develop an appropriate treatment plan with you to help you achieve your health goals.
