Men’s Health and Pelvic Floor Physio
Are you looking for a trained and trusted men’s pelvic health physiotherapist in Brisbane to assess and treat pelvic floor dysfunction or other male-specific musculoskeletal conditions?
Throughout life the male body undergoes significant physical changes that can influence pelvic function and overall well-being. That’s why the professional team at Inline Physio Moorooka supports men of all ages in addressing, treating, and managing a wide range of pelvic and musculoskeletal concerns.
Our Physiotherapists
Our male pelvic health physiotherapist Duncan Hill operates from our Moorooka clinic. Duncan is qualified to assess, treat, and manage conditions such as:
- Urinary dysfunction (urgency, frequency, incontinence)
- Bowel dysfunction
- Pelvic pain
- Prostatitis-type symptoms
- Erectile dysfunction
- Pre-prostatectomy and post-surgical pelvic floor rehabilitation

- Pain or dysfunction related to exercise, sport, or daily movement
Our physiotherapist designs individualised pelvic floor rehabilitation programs tailored to your goals, whether you’re preparing for surgery, recovering afterwards, or managing long-standing symptoms.
Our Technology
Our physiotherapists use Real-Time Ultrasound to visualise the activation and coordination of your pelvic floor and deep core muscles. This helps guide accurate training, improves awareness, and supports long-term symptom management.
What Is a Men’s Pelvic Health Physio?
Men’s pelvic health physiotherapists have advanced, post-graduate training in male pelvic anatomy and conditions that affect the bladder, bowel, prostate region, and sexual function.
They assess how the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding structures contribute to symptoms and develop targeted treatment plans for each individual.
What Conditions Can a Male Pelvic Health Physio Help Treat?
Our qualified physiotherapists in Brisbane can help men with a broad range of pelvic-specific concerns.
A primary focus is the pelvic floor muscles, which sit at the base of the pelvis and support the bladder, bowel, and prostate. They also influence urinary and bowel control, sexual function, and core stability.
Pelvic floor dysfunction can occur when these muscles are weakened, overactive, or fail to coordinate correctly. Causes can include:
- Prostate surgery
- Chronic pelvic pain or prostatitis-like symptoms
- Chronic constipation
- Persistent coughing
- High-impact exercise
- Stress or tension
- Lower back or hip issues
- Age-related changes
Our physiotherapists can help assess and manage:
- Pelvic pain
- Urinary leakage
- Urinary urgency or frequency
- Bowel dysfunction
- Post-prostatectomy pelvic floor weakness
- Erectile dysfunction influenced by pelvic floor mechanics
- Abdominal or core dysfunction
- Hip, groin, or lower back pain linked to pelvic muscles
How Our Physios Can Help at Different Stages of Life
Pelvic and Prostate Surgery
Pelvic surgery, particularly prostate surgery, can significantly impact bladder control, erectile function, and pelvic floor strength.
Our physiotherapists guide men through evidence-based pelvic floor rehabilitation to support recovery and help restore function.
We can assist with:
- Pre-surgery education
- Post-surgery pelvic floor retraining
- Return-to-exercise guidance
- Management of urinary leakage
- Core and pelvic stability
Older Men
With age, changes in muscle mass, hormone levels, posture, and prostate health can affect pelvic function.
Physiotherapy can help maintain mobility, manage pain, and support bladder, and bowel control.
We provide support with:
- Safe strengthening exercise
- Balance and fall-prevention strategies
- Pelvic floor training
- Management of chronic musculoskeletal pain
What to Expect at a Male Pelvic Health Physio Appointment
At Inline Physio, your physiotherapist will provide care that is confidential, respectful, and tailored to your specific concerns.
Our approach focuses on understanding the underlying cause of your symptoms and creating long-term, sustainable solutions.
If you have booked an appointment, we may ask you to complete a pelvic health questionnaire beforehand. This helps streamline your initial assessment.
During your first consultation, your physiotherapist will:
- Discuss your past and present symptoms
- Ask about bladder, bowel, sexual, and pain-related concerns
- Perform a biomechanical assessment (e.g., posture, breathing, movement patterns)
- Outline assessment options for the pelvic floor
Pelvic Floor Assessment
There are several ways to assess pelvic floor function. We will discuss all options with you to ensure you feel comfortable and informed.
Assessment methods may include:
- Real-time ultrasound over the lower abdomen to observe pelvic floor and deep core activation
- Pelvic floor muscle exam to assess pelvic floor coordination and function, only conducted with consent and when clinically appropriate
All assessments are conducted in private rooms, with professionalism and your comfort as the highest priority.
