Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more common than you might think, and you’re definitely not alone. Struggling to get or maintain an erection can take a huge toll on your self-confidence, relationships, and your well-being. The good news? There are ways to tackle it naturally. At In Step Physical Therapy, we offer male pelvic floor physiotherapy in Edmonton to help improve prostate health, address the root causes of ED, and get you feeling like yourself again.
We all have a pelvic floor. It’s a group of muscles that run from your pubic bone at the front to your tailbone at the back, stretching side to side between your sitting bones. These muscles do a lot of important work—they help support your bladder, bowel, and even sexual function.
But just like any other muscle in your body, your pelvic floor can cause issues. If it gets too weak, too tight, or stretched out, it can lead to problems that affect your daily life.
ED is the inability to get an erection firm enough for sex. Occasional issues are normal, but persistent ED may signal an underlying health problem.
Many don’t realize that pelvic floor dysfunction can be a hidden cause of ED. These muscles, located between the tailbone and pubic bone, support the bladder, bowel, and sexual function. When they weaken or tighten, they can lead to poor blood flow, nerve issues, and erection difficulties—problems many men don’t expect.

At In Step Physical Therapy, we use evidence-based treatments to help men regain confidence and take control of their health.
The pelvic floor muscles play the main role in controlling blood flow, erection firmness, and ejaculation. Weak or overactive pelvic muscles can contribute to ED symptoms, urinary issues, and reduced sexual function.
Strengthening the pelvic floor improves sexual performance and bladder control, making it an essential part of ED recovery.
Biofeedback therapy helps you gain control over your pelvic floor muscles using real-time visual or auditory feedback from sensors placed on the body.
Many men have poor pelvic floor awareness and unknowingly use the wrong muscles. Biofeedback trains your body to activate the right muscles for improved function.
Tension, scarring, or restricted blood flow in the pelvic floor, lower back, or hips can contribute to erectile dysfunction. Manual therapy uses hands-on techniques to release restrictions and enhance the flow of blood to the genital area.
Many cases of ED are linked to tension or poor mobility in the pelvic region. Manual therapy relieves restrictions and restores natural movement, improving blood flow to the erectile tissues.
Shockwave therapy delivers high-energy acoustic waves to the penis and pelvic area to stimulate new blood vessel growth and nerve repair.
Many cases of ED are caused by poor circulation. Shockwave therapy restores natural function, making it an effective, drug-free solution.
Poor pelvic floor coordination can lead to urinary incontinence, urgency, and bowel issues, which are often linked to pelvic floor dysfunction and ED.
Improving pelvic floor coordination helps prevent leaks, urgency, and discomfort, which often coexist with erectile dysfunction.
Erectile dysfunction isn’t just about pelvic muscles—it’s also linked to overall health and lifestyle choices. We guide you through exercise, nutrition, and stress management to support better sexual function and general well-being.
Lifestyle improvements can significantly reduce ED symptoms and prevent recurrence. A healthy body supports better sexual function.
