When most people hear the term “pelvic floor dysfunction,” they often assume it’s a concern that affects only women—especially during or after pregnancy. However, this assumption overlooks an important reality: pelvic floor issues affect men and women alike. At DaVinci Wellness Centre, we’re here to change the narrative and provide inclusive, expert care for all individuals experiencing pelvic discomfort, weakness, or dysfunction.
Pelvic health is a foundational part of overall wellness, yet it’s one of the most misunderstood—and most under-discussed—areas of physical health, especially for men.
What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that acts like a sling, supporting vital organs including the bladder, bowel, and (for women) the uterus. These muscles help regulate urination, bowel movements, sexual function, and core stability. When the pelvic floor becomes too tight, too weak, or uncoordinated, it can lead to a variety of symptoms, collectively referred to as pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD).
Signs of PFD include:
- Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder
- Bowel issues such as constipation or leakage
- Pelvic pain, groin discomfort, or pain during intercourse
- Lower back or hip pain that doesn’t resolve with other treatments
- Erectile dysfunction or testicular pain (in men)
- A feeling of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic area
These symptoms can affect people of any age or gender—and they don’t go away on their own. If left untreated, they can worsen and significantly impact quality of life.
Why Men Are Often Undiagnosed
For men, pelvic floor dysfunction is often hidden behind stigma and misdiagnosis. Many men don’t realize that their symptoms—such as chronic prostatitis, erectile issues, or post-urination dribbling—may have nothing to do with infections or aging, and everything to do with muscle dysfunction.
The lack of awareness and discussion around male pelvic health often leads to a delay in seeking help. At DaVinci Wellness Centre, we want to make it clear: pelvic floor issues are not something to be embarrassed about, and help is available.
How DaVinci Wellness Centre Approaches Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
At DaVinci Wellness Centre, our approach to pelvic floor dysfunction is both evidence-based and personalized. We begin with a thorough assessment to understand the root causes of your symptoms. Our team is trained in pelvic floor therapy, and we’re experienced in working with clients of all genders and body types.
Treatment may include:
- Manual therapy to release tension and improve muscle coordination
- Targeted exercises to retrain and strengthen pelvic floor muscles
- Postural correction to address underlying mechanical issues
- Education and coaching to empower you with at-home techniques
In some cases, we integrate complementary therapies like physiotherapy or clinical psychology to address any anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain that may be contributing to the dysfunction.
Whole-Body Connection: More Than Just a Pelvic Problem
Pelvic floor issues rarely exist in isolation. They’re often connected to problems in other areas—tight hips, poor posture, weak glutes, even chronic stress. That’s why our clinic takes a whole-body view.
We look beyond the symptoms and explore how your movement patterns, lifestyle, and health history play a role. For example, a man with chronic low back pain and erectile dysfunction may find that pelvic floor therapy addresses both issues, restoring function and confidence simultaneously.
Likewise, a woman struggling with bladder leakage and pelvic heaviness may discover that core retraining and pelvic support techniques provide life-changing relief.

Living with pelvic floor dysfunction can feel frustrating, isolating, and even scary. But you’re not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck in pain or embarrassment.
At DaVinci Wellness Centre, we treat pelvic floor dysfunction with the same level of professionalism, respect, and empathy as any other health issue. Our team is dedicated to helping you restore normal function, improve comfort, and regain control of your life.
