Session Details
Following treatment for prostate, anal, colon, and other cancers involving the pelvis and abdomen, men require additional considerations and care to ensure optimal pelvic health. The pelvic floor muscles envelope and support the bladder and rectum, and are pertinent to urinary and fecal continence, and sexual health. This discussion will cover common forms of cancer that affect the pelvic floor, and the role of pelvic physical therapy in helping patients thrive in survivorship.
