This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.

What is this trial?

This study is testing a new recovery program for men who have had prostate cancer surgery. The program combines three things: online education about continence and sexual health, group fitness exercises designed for your recovery, and specialized pelvic floor muscle exercises. The program can be done either in person or online, depending on what works best for you.

After prostate cancer surgery, many men experience problems with bladder control, sexual function, and overall fitness. This trial exists to see if a comprehensive program that addresses all three of these issues together—rather than treating them separately—can help men recover better and feel healthier long-term.

Do you qualify?

You likely qualify if…

you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer (stage I through IV) and are scheduled for prostate surgery
you are 18 years of age or older
you are physically able to do at least mild exercise, as confirmed by a screening questionnaire
you speak and understand English
you have regular access to the internet and a computer or smart device at home or a community center

You likely don't qualify if…

you have a neurological condition or other medical disease that affects bladder control
you have medical conditions that would make exercise unsafe for you
you recently changed medications (within 6 months) to help with bladder control
you are already receiving pelvic floor exercises from a pelvic floor physical therapist
you do not have reliable internet access or a computer or smart device

What participation looks like

If you join this trial, you'll be put into one of two groups. Both groups will receive pelvic floor exercises and education. The intervention group will also participate in a 12-week combined exercise and pelvic floor training program, offered either in person or virtually. You'll attend group exercise classes and complete specialized pelvic floor muscle training designed for recovery after prostate surgery. The study will measure how well the program helps with bladder control, fitness, sexual function, and overall health compared to standard care.
