Post-prostatectomy in Mississauga
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy After Prostate Surgery in Mississauga
Recovery after prostate surgery can include changes in bladder control, bowel function, and sexual health. These symptoms are common and can improve with the right approach.
At Elevation Physiotherapy & Wellness, pelvic floor physiotherapy provides structured, targeted care to help restore function, improve control, and support your recovery.
Understanding Post-Prostatectomy Symptoms
After prostate surgery, changes in pelvic floor function can lead to:
- Urinary leakage or reduced bladder control
- Urgency or frequent urination
- Bowel control changes or discomfort
- Erectile dysfunction
These symptoms are often related to changes in muscle strength, coordination, and nerve function following surgery.

Your treatment may include:
- Pelvic floor retraining to improve strength and coordination
- Targeted exercises to support bladder and bowel control

- Education to support daily function and reduce strain
- Progressive strengthening based on your recovery stage
Each plan is tailored to your symptoms, goals, and comfort level.

Lynda is an exceptional physiotherapist and great at explaining things in easy to understand terms. Went there with back pain issues and after a couple of months, the pain has subsided significantly. Thanks Lynda for your expertise and relevant exercises! The office is very clean and strictly adheres to the COVID health protocols. Would definitely return for any future physio needs.
I attended physiotherapy a few months ago for backpain caused by stress and I have nothing but, praise for Elevation. My physiotherapist – Joelle Li – was patient, professional and provided tips that actually helped. My backpain has thankfully recovered and I still use the breathing techniques she suggested to this day. In addition, the clinic is clean and the receptionist is friendly and efficient. I strongly suggest booking an appointment for anyone who is suffering but, is hesitant to try physiotherapy. I personally have no regrets and I’m glad I took the initiative to fix my health. I have recommended this clinic to my family/friends and I will definitely schedule another appointment if I need assistance in the future. Thankyou.
