Men’s Health

At Handforth Physiotherapy and Rehab, Men’s Health Physiotherapy is delivered personally by Richard Higgs, an experienced physiotherapist with a specialist interest in male pelvic health and post-surgical rehabilitation.

This service is designed to support men experiencing sensitive but important concerns, including pelvic floor dysfunction, post-prostate surgery recovery, and bladder or bowel control issues. Care is provided in a professional, discreet, and respectful clinical environment, where privacy and dignity are always prioritised.

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a confidential consultation to understand your medical history, symptoms, and personal goals in a calm, professional setting.

We will then undertake what could be described as a “typical” physiotherapy assessment, where we assess movement, strength and pain of associated areas such as the low back, hips and core muscles.

Where appropriate, a physical assessment may be recommended to evaluate pelvic floor function and contributing factors. This is always fully explained beforehand and only carried out with your clear informed consent.

Your treatment plan may include:

• Education to help you understand your condition and recovery process
• Pelvic floor retraining programmes
• Targeted rehabilitation exercises
• Practical lifestyle and behavioural strategies

Your care will be structured, individualised, and focused on restoring comfort, control, and confidence in day-to-day life.
