Mens Pelvic and Abdominal Health - MEPS

Physiotherapy is required as part of treatment to facilitate trigger point release, restore ‘normal’ biomechanics and decrease muscle tension in the pelvic area. Other parts of treatment can include relaxation therapy, psychological input, diet and lifestyle changes and pharmacological modalities. With a multi-faceted approach to treatment, the prognosis for the condition is good.
