Bladder Health Physiotherapy for Men
Bladder symptoms affect a large proportion of men, particularly as they age or following prostate treatment. At Atlas Physiotherapy in Leichhardt, we assess the underlying causes of bladder dysfunction and create a targeted treatment plan - not just a list of exercises.
Normal Bladder Function
A healthy bladder is designed to store 300-400ml of urine comfortably and empty fully when you go to the bathroom. Most men will go 4-7 times a day, sleep through the night or wake once to urinate, and have good control over starting and stopping the flow.
Common bladder symptoms and problems
Bladder issues can develop when control or capacity is disrupted, possibly (but not always) due to changes of your prostate.
Symptoms may include:
Needing to get to the toilet in a hurry
Going more often
Getting up multiple times at night
Difficulty starting or maintaining the stream
Not being able to fully empty the bladder
Dribbling after you’ve finished
Not being able to hold it in
While common, these symptoms are not something men simply have to “put up with.”
How Atlas Physiotherapy Can Help
We understand these symptoms can be embarrassing and have a huge effect on confidence and your overall wellbeing.
At Atlas Physiotherapy we focus on understanding why bladder symptoms are occurring and how they fit with your overall health and lifestyle. Treatment may involve pelvic floor muscle retraining (strengthening or down-training), bladder retraining strategies to improve bladder storage, education around fluid and toileting habits.
The goal is to improve bladder control, confidence, and quality of life using practical, evidence-based strategies tailored to you.
