The Problem Nobody Talks About

Most Men Are
Treating the Wrong Thing

For years, men dealing with pelvic pain, urinary issues, erectile dysfunction, or constipation have been handed the same advice: just do Kegels.

But here's what that advice misses: many men don't have a weak pelvic floor. They have one that's already too tight — overactive, guarded, and constantly "on." When that's the case, adding more squeezing doesn't just fail to help. It can actively make symptoms worse.

Think about clenching your jaw all day. Eventually it becomes tight, sore, fatigued, and sensitive. The pelvic floor can behave exactly the same way.

"Sometimes the issue isn't weakness. Sometimes the issue is an inability to let go."


— Dr. Lance Frank, PT, DPT · Flex PT ATL

Do These Sound Familiar?

Signs Your Pelvic Floor
May Be Too Tight

Many men struggle in silence for years, dismissed or told their symptoms are psychological. They're not. Review this list — if several resonate, this guide was written for you.

URINARY

  • Urgency & frequency

  • Post-void dribbling

  • Hesitancy starting a stream

  • Waking up to urinate

  • Pain or burning with urination

BOWEL

  • Constipation

  • Hemorrhoids or fissures

  • Straining to evacuate

  • Feeling of incomplete emptying

  • Pain with bowel movements

SEXUAL

  • Erectile dysfunction

  • Premature ejaculation

  • Pain with erections

  • Hard flaccid symptoms

  • Genital tightness or discomfort

PAIN

  • Perineal or testicular pain

  • Chronic pelvic pain / prostatitis

  • Pain with sitting

  • Groin tightness

  • Tailbone pain

"If several of these symptoms sound familiar, your pelvic floor may need relaxation and coordination work — not more Kegels."
