If you or your partner are preparing for or recovering from a radical prostatectomy, you are likely feeling overwhelmed. Your surgical team’s absolute priority was removing the cancer and saving your life, but far too often, the recovery of your continence and erectile function is treated as an afterthought.

You deserve a much higher standard of care than being handed a generic leaflet and told to "hope for the best."

When the prostate is removed, your anatomy changes. The primary valve that stops urine from leaking is altered, meaning your pelvic floor muscles suddenly have to do all the heavy lifting. If your pelvic floor is uncoordinated, you will fatigue the muscles, leading to leakage when you cough, sneeze, stand up, or walk.

It is a mechanical issue, and it requires a mechanical solution.

As a specialist Men's Health Physiotherapist in Coventry, Philip Delaney provides advanced, neuromuscular rehabilitation for prostate cancer survivors to help you regain your control and your dignity.

⏱️ When to see us:
• Pre-Hab: Ideally 3 to 4 weeks before your surgery to build vital muscle memory.
• Post-Op: Hands-on rehab the moment your catheter is removed.

Why your Kegels aren't working (The Bicep Curl Analogy) 💪

​I see men in my Coventry clinic all the time who are frustrated because their CPPS, Prostatitis, or ED symptoms aren't improving, despite doing hundreds of Kegels a day.

​Think of it like this: If you do a bicep curl, but only move your arm between 90 and 100 degrees, you aren't going to get a good pump. Your arm needs the full range of motion.

​Your pelvic floor is exactly the same. It needs to fully relax and descend before it can contract properly. If it's already tight, more Kegels will just cause more irritation to the local nerves and tissues.
​Check out my latest video where I break down the mechanics of Kegel over-training. If you're struggling with this, reach out to book a specialist assessment!

Doing 1,000 Kegels a day? Stop right now. 🛑
​If you are dealing with CPPS, Prostatitis, or Erectile Dysfunction, the internet will probably tell you to do endless Kegels to fix it.
​But here is the reality: If your pelvic floor is already in a state of spasm or is too tight, squeezing it MORE is only going to cause more pain and irritate your nerves and blood vessels.
​In my latest video, I explain why more Kegels might be the exact reason your symptoms are getting worse, and why your pelvic floor needs a full range of motion to function properly.

Your "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" toolkit for pelvic pain. 🚨👇

Body:
Having a particularly bad day with a pelvic floor flare-up? I give these 3 exercises to my lads in Coventry as a go-to toolkit to help settle things down.

Here is what you need to do:
✅ 1. Feet on the Wall: Lie on your back, pop a cushion under your sacrum, and rest your feet on the wall. Breathe deep and let the pelvic floor drop for 3-4 minutes.
✅ 2. Supported Fetal Position: Lie on your side, hug a pillow, and pop a yoga block under your knee. This takes the pressure right off those adductor muscles.
✅ 3. Tummy Time: Lie on your front with a pillow under your tummy. Breathe deeply and just let your abdominal muscles relax and sink into it.

Give these a try and let me know how you get on in the comments. Mind yourselves!

Will Bron Breakker make WrestleMania? A Physio’s verdict. 👨‍⚕️🤼‍♂️
Body:
The big question in wrestling right now: Can you recover from hernia surgery in time for the biggest show of the year?
I’m breaking down the 3 Phases of Recovery that I use with my patients in Coventry. Whether you are a WWE superstar or just trying to get back to the gym, the timeline usually looks like this:
1️⃣ Phase 1 (Wk 1-2): Do not lift anything heavier than a kettle! Protect the wound—if you have to cough, brace it with a pillow!
2️⃣ Phase 2 (Wk 2-4): We start getting the "Go Muscles" (Transverse Abdominis) working again and maybe some light cycling.
3️⃣ Phase 3 (Wk 4+): Gradual return to weights. But for heavy grappling? You are usually looking at 8 weeks minimum.
So, will he make it? It’s going to be very tight. 😬
If you are recovering from surgery and need guidance getting back to sport, drop me a message.


​⚠️ Clinical Disclaimer:
While I am a Physio, I am not your Physio. The exercises and timelines discussed here are based on standard UK guidelines (NHS & Private) for uncomplicated inguinal hernia repairs.
​Every repair is different (mesh vs. suture, open vs. laparoscopic). Always prioritize the specific instructions given to you by your consultant surgeon.
​❌ If you experience sharp pain, fever, or wound issues, contact your GP or surgical team immediately.

Bron Breakker is out… is your deadlift safe? 🏋️‍♂️⚠️

The wrestling world is talking about Bron Breakker’s hernia, but this is a massive topic for anyone who lifts weights.
A hernia isn't always caused by one dramatic lift. It’s often the result of cumulative pressure weakening the inguinal canal over time.
Here are 3 tips from a Physio to keep you safe:
1️⃣ Stop holding your breath for everything: The Valsalva manoeuvre (holding breath to brace) spikes your internal pressure. Save it for your 1-rep maxes, not your warm-up sets!
2️⃣ Train the "Go" Muscles: Don't just focus on the six-pack. You need strong Obliques and Transverse Abdominis to actually protect your groin.
3️⃣ Watch for "The Drag": If you feel a dragging sensation in your groin while lifting, that is your warning sign. Stop and get it sorted.

If you’re worried about a ni**le or a bulge, drop me a message or book into the Coventry clinic.


High-performance return-to-sport protocols are aggressive and supervised daily by medical teams. For us "regular mortals," the return to heavy lifting should be much more gradual (usually 6-12 weeks).
UK Patients: If you suspect a hernia, see your GP. If you have sudden severe pain, call 111 or visit A&E.

That pre-workout buzz might be killing the vibe. 📉🚫

Are you using ni****ne pouches to get a boost in the gym? You might be getting a great pump in your biceps, but you’re likely affecting the pump where it actually matters.

Here is the hard truth: Ni****ne is a vasoconstrictor. It tightens your blood vessels and limits blood flow—the exact opposite of what you need for an er****on.

It also spikes your "fight or flight" system, making it much harder for your body to relax and perform.

Let’s stop choking our vascular systems, lads. If you have questions about pelvic health or performance, drop me a message or book in at the Coventry clinic. 📍

Mind your bits! ☘️

Stop power posing at the toilet! 🚽🛑

We need to talk about what your pelvic floor hates... your tough guy routine.

Lads, we’re told standing is the manly thing to do. But here is the physio truth: when you stand, your pelvic floor has to work to stabilise you, which restricts the urethra.

If you deal with:
🔹 Incomplete emptying
🔹 Urinary frequency
🔹 That annoying post-void dribble..Try sitting down. It allows the muscles to relax so you can empty the tank properly.

And don't worry—nobody is watching you! (It’s just like the gym, everyone thinks people are looking, but they aren't).
Drop me a message if you need to get your pelvic health sorted in Coventry.
