Are you considering undergoing a prostate procedure? You’re probably feeling a mix of emotions: some uncertainty, maybe a bit of nervousness, and a lot of questions about what comes next. All these feelings are completely normal!
At our clinic, we understand how overwhelming the recovery process can be—physically and emotionally. That’s why we’ve created unique classes designed to help you feel empowered, informed, and supported throughout every step of your surgery and recovery journey.
What Does the Class Look Like?
We’ve designed this class specifically for individuals like you—those navigating the path to surgery or healing after a prostate procedure.
In this class you will learn:
- What your surgery involves: We will break down the procedure in easy-to-understand terms so you know exactly what will happen, why it’s being done, and what to expect from the process.
- What your recovery will look like: Recovery can seem daunting, but with the right preparation and tools, it’s much easier. We’ll cover the typical recovery timelines, what to expect in terms of mobility, pain management, and the emotional aspects of recovery.
- How pelvic floor physical therapy can help: Pelvic floor PT is an essential part of pre-surgery and post-surgery care. We’ll explain how PT can help you strengthen your pelvic floor before surgery and guide you through a smoother recovery afterward.
- Managing expectations: It’s normal to have concerns about your surgery and healing process. Our experts will address common worries, like potential complications, impacts on sexual health, and changes to daily life after surgery.
Who Should Attend?
Our class is for anyone who is preparing for a prostate procedure—whether it’s in the near future or further down the road. If you’re wondering if this class is right for you, here are some common signs you could benefit from attending:
- You’re scheduled for surgery soon and want to learn how to prepare.
- You’re feeling uncertain or anxious about what to expect during or after your surgery.
- You want to make sure you’re doing everything you can to support your body in the healing process.
- You’ve been told pelvic floor therapy could help you but aren’t sure where to start.
Why Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is Key:
Many people are unaware of the power of pelvic floor physical therapy in both preparing for and recovering from pelvic surgery. At Legacy Physical Therapy, our pelvic floor PTs are highly trained to address the specific needs of individuals undergoing surgery. From pre-surgery exercises to post-surgery rehabilitation, pelvic floor therapy can:
- Help optimize muscle function and strength, which can reduce your risk of complications and improve your recovery.
- Teach you how to manage post-surgery symptoms, like incontinence, pelvic pain, and scarring.
- Offer personalized support to guide you through the recovery process and adjust your care based on your unique needs.
