Urinary incontinence affects millions of men across the United States, yet it remains one of the most underreported health concerns. The good news? Most cases are treatable with the right approach and professional guidance. As a pelvic health occupational therapist serving the Hanover and York, PA communities, I work with men every day who are seeking answers and relief from urinary incontinence. This comprehensive guide will help you understand what's happening, why it's happening, and most importantly—what you can do about it.

Pelvic floor exercises are one of the most commonly recommended ways to improve bladder control, reduce leaking, ease pelvic pain, and support postpartum recovery. But most people never learn what pelvic floor exercises actually are—or how to do them correctly.

A hysterectomy is a major surgical event, and while most people expect a physical recovery, very few are told what happens next when it comes to pelvic floor health. After the initial healing, it’s common to experience symptoms like pelvic heaviness, bladder urgency, changes in intimacy, or a sense that your core just doesn’t feel the same.

That’s where targeted, individualized care comes in.

This time of year can bring more attention to connection and intimacy—but if that feels physically uncomfortable or emotionally overwhelming, it might be time to look deeper. If intercourse is painful, tampons are difficult to use, or pelvic exams bring on anxiety or sharp discomfort, you may be experiencing vaginismus.

At Imagine Pelvic Health, we don’t bill insurance — and that’s not an oversight. It’s a decision based on experience. Before opening this practice, I worked in insurance-based settings. I saw how the rules dictated what care could look like and too often, those rules got in the way of helping people heal. Here are the top three insurance rules that made me stop taking insurance and build a practice that puts your care first:

Your pelvic floor quietly influences everything from how you breathe to how you move, how you go to the bathroom, and how intimacy feels. And yet… most people only start learning about it when something feels “off.” Before you jump into exercises—or blame yourself—let’s look at the daily habits that help or hinder pelvic health. Our holiday-inspired Naughty & Nice list reveals the ones that matter most.

Not all core exercises work for every body especially if your pelvic tilt is off. If you’ve been doing bird dogs, dead bugs, or tilting drills without knowing whether your pelvis is stuck forward (anterior) or tucked under (posterior), you might be reinforcing poor mechanics instead of fixing them.

This blog breaks down the difference between pelvic tilts, how they affect your core and pelvic floor, and what to change in your workouts to actually feel stronger and more supported.

Rectal pain after pregnancy isn’t just “part of healing” especially if it’s still showing up months or even years later. Whether it feels like pressure, pinching, or soreness during basic tasks, your pelvic floor could be the missing piece.

Pelvic floor therapy can help.

Tailbone pain can turn everyday tasks, like sitting at your desk or driving, into a constant source of discomfort. Whether it’s from poor posture, muscle tension, or past injury, there is a reason behind it and ways to fix it that go beyond cushions.

Leaking during workouts isn’t always a strength issue and kegels might not be the fix. If you’re peeing when you lift, run, or jump, it may be a sign your pelvic floor and core aren’t coordinating well. Here's what might be going on and what to do next. Read more →

Most women think if they haven’t fixed their pelvic floor by 40, they’ve missed their window. They haven’t. Leaking, pain, and core weakness aren’t just part of getting older and it’s never too late to get help that actually works. Read more →

If you’re dealing with pelvic symptoms—leaking, pressure, discomfort—and nothing seems to explain them, the answer might be in how you go about your day….

Your pelvic floor supports your bladder, bowels, and core — but when those muscles aren’t working quite right, the symptoms can show up everywhere.
From bladder leaks and pelvic pressure to pain with sex or persistent low back discomfort, these issues are common (but not normal). FREE CHECKLIST INSIDE.

Bladder leaks don’t always happen for the same reason. Some people leak during movement—like sneezing, lifting, or running. Others leak when they feel a sudden, urgent need to pee and can’t make it in time. This blog breaks down the two most common types of incontinence—stress and urge—and helps you figure out which one fits your symptoms. Because knowing what’s actually going on is the first step to treating it the right way.

Pelvic organ prolapse can come with a wide range of symptoms, many of which are subtle or easy to overlook. Understanding these symptoms is the first step in seeking treatment and finding relief.
