Men’s Pelvic Health

[ux_image id=”1564″]

It’s important, too!

Pelvic Health is a vulnerable subject for both men and women, whether you are talking about it, dealing with it on your own, or getting treated. We have noticed that men tend to feel more vulnerable then women in this area! Men’s pelvic health has a history of being overlooked, but it is far past time for that to stop. Your pelvic floor supports so many of your organs, and is vital in keeping your body healthy! 

 

What is your Pelvic Floor, anyways?

Your pelvic floor is a big group of muscles, ligaments, connective tissues, and nerves that are all working together to provide stable support and help your organs (especially pelvic organs) function. If your pelvic floor is out of alignment or injured, it causes a chain reaction of pain and issues that will continue to grow worse if untreated. Like all muscles in your body, your pelvic floor muscles need to be exercised in correct form to prevent injury. Weak pelvic floor muscles leave you prone to injury and dysfunction!

 
 

What are some symptoms?

One reasons men’s health can be overlooked is because sometimes symptoms are mistaken for being normal. If you experience any of the following symptoms, we can help! You don’t have to go another day just dealing with it.

  1. Pelvic Pain
  2. Painful bowel movement
  3. Painful, urgent, or frequent urination
  4. Anxiety about intercourse
  5. Sharp, stabbing cramps 
  6. Lower back pain
  7. Leakage
  8. Constipation

What are some conditions connected to these symptoms?

If one or more of those symptoms applies to you, take a look at what conditions/injuries they are related to:

  1. Erectile Dysfunction
  2. Chronic Prostatitis 
  3. Testicular Pain Syndrome 
  4. Penile Pain Syndrome
  5. Post-Prostatectomy incontinence
  6. Nocturia (frequent urination at night)
  7. Constipation
 

You’re not alone!

Pelvic Floor dysfunction is common, and very treatable! Whether you have been dealing with it for months or days, it is extremely difficult on your own. His Therapy understands what a sensitive subject this is, and we’re here for you. Our pelvic floor specialist, Sabina, has over 22 years of experience! She knows every body is unique, and will treat it as such. One third of Sabina’s patients are men, and they are proof that you will see results and improvement in 3 sessions or LESS!

 
 

What will treatment be like for me?

First of all, Sabina will only ever do what you are comfortable with! In your first appointment, she will sit down with you and get to know your history, symptoms, and what you’re nervous about! Sabina will take your symptoms and history, and evaluate you based off of that. She will then create a treatment plan that is completely personalized to YOU. And remember, she doesn’t just treat your symptoms, she will find the root of the symptoms and treat that – which will get rid of your symptoms and underlying issues! Here are some of the methods she will integrate into her treatment plans:

  1. Biofeedback

  2. Manual Therapy (hands on)

  3. Myofascial Release

  4. Dry Needling

  5. Exercises to stabilize

1.Physical therapy can instantly relieve pain.

-Through collaborative effort of the patient and the therapist, restoration of movement and functioning can be achieved.

7.Physical Therapy strengthens your heart and lungs.
-Biking, running, jogging, brisk walking and simply walking are types of endurance exercise.
-These activities increase one’s heart rate and respiratory rate.
-Engaging in this kind of activity in a regular basis will improve the health of the lungs and heart thus preventing related medical condition such as heart disease, obstructive pulmonary diseases and more.

Alkaline Water

ECHO HYDROGEN-ENRICHED WATER


At His Therapy Wellness center, it is important to us to help everyone who comes in to be the healthiest version of themselves. One special extra that we offer is our Echo hydrogen-enriched water. Water is one of the most vital substance that our body needs- but did you know there are different kinds of water? We offer both Akaline and Acidic water. Alkaline is for drinking, and Acidic is for washing your hands, face, and body.What is Alkaline water?
Alkaline water is water that has been ionized, which means the pH level of water has been increased. The pH level is what measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is. Alkaline water has increased hydrogen and thus provides better hydration.
Why drink Alkaline water?
1) 75% of all Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2) Thirst mechanism is mistaken for hunger pangs in 37% of americans
3) Mild dehydration is shown to slow down metabolism as much as 3%.
4) Staying hydrated can reduce back and joint pain.
5) Studies show that alkaline water boosts your immune system.

These are just a couple of the many reasons to add a cup of alkaline water to your daily routine!How can you get Alkaline water?
Here at His Therapy Wellness Center, we offer Alkaline water! We just got new water cards to make it as simple as possible for you to get what you need. We offer Alkaline water by the half gallon and gallon. If you bring your own container it is $3 a gallon. If you do not have a container, we have gallons ($11) and half gallons ($9) for purchase. Our water cards have the option of being $15, $30, or $60. This way, you make a one-time purchase for the card and just come on in for your water! Ask our front desk for a water card, or any further info!

How Can Alkaline Water Affect Bladder Health?

Alkaline refers to the pH level of the water. The pH level measures how acidic or alkaline a substance is on a scale of 0-14. For example, lemon juice (pH 2) and vinegar (pH 3) are both very acidic, while baking soda (8-9 pH) and milk of magnesia (10-11 pH) are both very alkaline. At pH 8-9, alkaline water has a higher pH than regular drinking water, which is around 7. Alkaline water can have benefits such as:

  • Weight Loss
  • Better Hydration
  • Increased Athletic Performance
  • Increased Energy
  • Improved Clarity
  • Boosted Immune System
  • Promoted Healing and Longevity

There have been many studies that have found that alkaline water can be extremely effective in decreasing acid reflux by inactivating the enzyme pepsin. Alkaline water can also reduce the blood viscosity, allowing the blood to flow through the body with more ease after an intense workout.

Drinking more water, especially alkaline water, can help people who struggle with urinary incontinence. One source states,

“Drinking more water may actually help and does not exasperate the problem. Your body must have water to function properly and drinking less of it can irritate the bladder and increase urination frequency. Water is pure and your body uses it to flush out excess amounts of acid and bacteria. Sipping water all day long is a good habit that you can try to help your incontinence to improve.”

https://freedrinkingwater.com/water_health/incontinence-treatment-drinking-filtered-water.htm

Alkaline water can also accelerate the excretion of melamine, preventing the accumulation in the bladder that can cause stones. Low urine pH can indicate metabolic syndrome, manifesting in symptoms such as kidney stones, high cholesterol, unstable and high blood sugar, unstable and high blood pressure, weight problems, and more. Drinking alkaline water can keep you hydrated, increase the pH of your urine, and keep infection-causing bacteria low.

According to the National Association for Continence:

  • An estimated 12.2 million adults have urge incontinence
  • An estimated 17 million adults in the US have daily Urinary Incontinence, and a further 33 million also have the overlapping condition, Overactive Bladder
  • Approximately 1 out of 3 women over the age of 45, and 1 out of every 2 women over 65, have stress urinary incontinence, affecting 15 million women
  • OAB and UI are about twice as frequently occurring in women as in men.

At His Therapy Wellness Center, we want to help anyone suffering from urinary and bowel urgency and incontinence, and any other pelvic health issues. Please let us know how we can help improve your health concerns by giving us a call at 864-534-1780, emailing us at office@histherapy.net , or visiting resources on our website www.histherapy.net.
