When people think of pelvic floor therapy, they often associate it with postpartum recovery. However, pelvic floor dysfunction can significantly impact sexual health, intimacy, and overall well-being for both men and women. Issues such as pain during intercourse, erectile dysfunction, and pelvic discomfort can all be linked to muscle imbalances, tension, or weakness in the pelvic floor.


At Fit Club NY, we provide personalized pelvic floor therapy designed to help patients regain function, reduce pain, and improve their overall quality of life. Whether you’re experiencing discomfort, loss of function, or issues related to intimacy, addressing pelvic floor health is key to restoring confidence and comfort in your body.

The Role of the Pelvic Floor in Sexual Health

The pelvic floor muscles are essential for core stability, bladder control, and sexual function. When these muscles are either too weak or too tight, they can lead to a variety of health concerns, including:

• Pain during intimacy (dyspareunia in women, pelvic pain in men)

• Erectile dysfunction or difficulty maintaining an erection

• Decreased libido due to discomfort or muscle imbalances

• Difficulty achieving orgasm due to restricted blood flow or nerve dysfunction

• Vaginismus or penetration difficulties caused by muscle hypertonicity

These issues are more common than many people realize, and they can have a profound impact on self-confidence and relationships. The good news? Pelvic floor physical therapy is a proven solution that can help restore function and alleviate discomfort.

How Pelvic Floor Therapy Can Improve Sexual Health

Pelvic floor therapy goes beyond just Kegel exercises. At Fit Club NY, we take a comprehensive approach to treatment, focusing on muscle coordination, mobility, and function. Our therapy includes:

• Pelvic floor muscle retraining to improve control and coordination

• Manual therapy techniques to release tension and improve circulation

• Breathing and relaxation strategies to reduce pelvic floor tightness

• Functional movement training to ensure long-term results

For men, this means improving blood flow, reducing pelvic pain, and enhancing overall performance and confidence. For women, therapy can restore muscle coordination, alleviate pain, and improve comfort during intimacy.

Taking care of your pelvic floor is just as important as any other part of your body—and the right therapy can make all the difference.

Men’s Pelvic Floor Health

While pelvic floor therapy is often discussed in the context of women’s health, it is equally important for men’s overall well-being. Many men don’t realize that pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to chronic pain, bladder issues, and even sexual dysfunction.

Common signs of pelvic floor issues in men include:

• Erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation

• Chronic pelvic or lower back pain with no clear cause

• Urinary urgency or leakage

• Pain or tightness in the hips, groin, or tailbone area

Men’s pelvic floor therapy focuses on strengthening weak muscles, relaxing overly tight muscles, and retraining the body’s natural movement patterns. Addressing these issues can lead to improved sexual function, reduced pain, and better overall health
