Men’s Health

At Women’s & Pelvic Health Physio Riverland we see a variety of men’s health conditions. Urinary dysfunction & lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are also common in men. These symptoms may occur in men whom experience prostate cancer & require radical prostatectomy (RP) or a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).

Our goals post operatively include strategies to optimise and normalise bladder & bowel function, optimise post-op recovery, general health and wellbeing and guide safe return to physical activity and exercise.
