When it comes to pelvic floor therapy, many people associate it exclusively with women’s health — but The Pelvic Method is challenging that perception by prioritizing the often-overlooked needs of men. This innovative clinic provides a safe, supportive environment for men experiencing a wide range of pelvic health issues, from prostatitis and bladder pain to constipation, urinary leakage, and even post-vasectomy complications.
“Pelvic pain is the most common issue we see in men,” says the clinic’s founder, Dr. Erin Westner. “It can manifest as testicular, penile, bladder, or even tailbone pain — and is often misdiagnosed or brushed off entirely.” Many patients arrive after years of frustration, having seen multiple providers without clear answers or relief. At The Pelvic Method, they find more than just treatment — they find validation and hope.
The clinic takes a full-body, individualized approach to care. Each patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment, which informs a tailored treatment plan. Hands-on manual therapy may involve work on the low back, abdomen, or pelvic region with internal work included only when appropriate and with full consent. Exercises are integrated to support the physical therapy and build confidence, helping patients move without fear of pain or leakage.
But The Pelvic Method’s commitment goes beyond physical recovery. The team addresses how pelvic dysfunction can affect daily life, from work performance to relationships, and collaborates with other healthcare providers to ensure a holistic, team-based approach. Mental health is also a core focus, as chronic pelvic issues are often linked to anxiety, depression, and stress — all of which can exacerbate symptoms. Referrals to trusted mental health professionals are common, ensuring comprehensive care.
One particularly powerful success story involved a man struggling with pudendal neuralgia for over a decade. After only a few sessions focused on mobility, core strength, and restoring movement patterns, his pain drastically decreased, and his quality of life improved.
“I’ve gone nearly two decades without finding help for my symptoms,” one patient shared. “And in the first hour, I had hope and some relief.”
At The Pelvic Method, that hope is the foundation of healing — and a reminder that men’s pelvic health deserves attention, respect, and expert care.
