PT Handbook Conversation: Why Men Need to Start Thinking Below the Belt

The reason for this newsletter is to bring some awareness to pelvic health PT and how it can benefit men, not just women. Pelvic health PT is often marketed as “women’s health” however it is just that, marketing. It benefits everyone. And I feel it’s easier to just give you a little summary of my latest podcast explaining this.

This week on “The Art of Wellness” podcast, we dive deep into a topic most guys aren't talking about, but absolutely should. Joined by pelvic health physical therapist, Dr. Julia Rosenthal, we unpack the links between erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and chronic pelvic pain. We answer why physical therapy might be the solution you’ve never considered. If you’ve ever brushed off “weird” sensations down there or figured it’s just part of aging, maybe it’s time to take a deeper look. We’re peeling back the stigma and shedding light on the muscles, nerves, and pressure systems that impact far more than your workouts.

Most men don’t even know this kind of PT exists and aren’t aware it plays a major role in sexual function, bladder health, and performance. We cover what pelvic PT actually involves (spoiler: it's not as scary as you think), the stress connection nobody’s talking about, and how issues like hernias, vasectomies, or even your desk job can throw everything out of whack. If you’re a man, treat men, or care about one, listen below.

And always, if you need help with anything PT related, contact me below.
