Men's Health Month in June, is a chance to focus on these important health concerns. "AlthoughCorelife began as a safe space for women to discuss their concerns over pelvic and core health, its mandate has expanded and its treatments are for everyone," explains CorelifeWellness manager Brittney Legere. In men, the need for pelvic floor therapy often starts with experiencing small inconveniences like bladder leaks when you least expect themorwaking upmultiple times a night to use the washroom. It can progress, causing frustration and stress. "Our Libby Chair Pelvic Therapy can give men their lives back, offering a comfortable, drug and surgery-free way to improve pelvic health - 30 minutes at a time," says Legere. One of the most innovative technologies around, theLibby is anon-invasive, accessible device that uses electromagnetic stimulation to develop the fitness capacity of the pelvic floor. "You sit in the chair, fully clothed, during the treatment. No poking or inserting, and the only sensation you'll experience is a mild tingling," explains Legere. Libby uses the BTL's Emsella electromagnetic chair along with guidance and additional education from Corelife's pelvic health experts. Most men notice a difference after one treatment. But, according to Legere, the full power of Libby for pelvic floor rehabilitation is usually realized after all six treatments are completed. "We can help improve your pelvic health and get you back to living your life," says the CorelifeWellness manager. Pelvicandcoredysfunction can affect men and women in similar ways physically and mentally. In the absence of other factors, sexual dysfunction like erectile dysfunction in men and dyspareunia (painful intercourse), dryness and other symptoms in women, are often caused by poor pelvic floor health. Treating depression and anxiety that are commonly associated with these health issues is more effective when the physical problems are also addressed. Legere advises that the more information patients and healthcare providers have about comfortable and non-invasive treatment options for pelvic floor dysfunction, the better tomake informed choices. "We have seen first-hand the effect that treating pelvic floor dysfunction can have on restoring confidence and quality of life. So we will keep on spreading the news and getting theword out that you don't have to live with sexual dysfunction or rely on drugs for a temporary fix," says Legere. "Our ultimate goal is to help as many people as possible, whether male, female or identifying another way. We think of Corelife Wellness as a place where everyone concerned about their pelvic and core health can get the care they need to get well and stay that way," says Legere.
