Chronic Prostatitis

Chronic Prostatitis is a persistent inflammation of the prostate gland that can lead to pelvic pain, urinary issues, and discomfort. Erin Hardiman, PT, DPT, specializes in physical therapy treatments designed to alleviate the symptoms of chronic prostatitis by focusing on pelvic floor muscle relaxation and improving overall pelvic health. Her techniques include manual therapy, trigger point release, and targeted exercises to reduce muscle tension, promote circulation, and enhance pelvic function.
Erin’s approach includes teaching patients how to perform self-management strategies to prevent and manage flare-ups. This may involve pelvic floor muscle relaxation exercises, deep breathing techniques, and posture correction to minimize pressure on the pelvic region. By providing tailored care plans, she helps patients achieve better bladder and bowel control, reducing the frequency and intensity of symptoms associated with chronic prostatitis.
In addition to physical interventions, Erin emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modifications in managing chronic prostatitis. She educates patients on dietary adjustments, stress management, and bladder habits that can positively impact their condition. This comprehensive approach empowers patients to take control of their health, leading to improved comfort and quality of life.
