Will I ever get my erection back?
Erectile dysfunction is a common side effect of a prostatectomy or radiation therapy.
The prognosis of sexual function returning after surgery is dependent on your sexual function prior to surgery and if the sacral nerves were spared during surgery.
The sooner you start therapy the better your outcomes.

- I can teach your partner techniques to help you with your therapy
- There are tools and devices you can use, I will help you find the best device for you.

" Best! Erica is the best at what she does!!! She is comforting in such an uncomfortable situation, recovering from a prostatectomy. Not only did she teach me how to work through my incontinence, she taught me some great new workout routines.
I highly recommend Erica and her PT system!

"Rarely are reviews as good as you expect but in this case there simply are no better PT's than Erica and Becca. They compliment each other nicely, and while their styles are similar, they each bring a different set of experiences that benefit the overall patient experience. I write this review after only five weeks and I am thrilled with the results to date. Erica and Becca not only make me feel totally comfortable with the process but they explain to me the reasons for the exercises they recommend. If you diligently follow their advice and trust in their past experiences and professionalism you will not be disappointed with the results. I was referred to the practice by a well known and respected Port St. Lucie urologist. I trust him and I trust Harmony PT".

" I became a client of Harmony Lymph and Pelvic Therapy at the recommendation of my doctor following my prostate surgery. Erica (owner and operator) was patient, kind and knowledgeable about not just pelvic floor therapy but many other aspects of the body - with services like massages, exercises, pep talks, acupuncture, etc. When I hit a plateau with my recovery, she worked with me to identify the issue and move me past that difficult spot. She is an expert and professional in her field and her quality of care is incomparable. I cannot say enough about all she has done to help me get back not only my continence but my confidence and quality of life. Thank you Erica!!!
