Prostatitis and Exercise
Prostatitis is the inflammation and swelling of the prostate gland. It can be acute or chronic, and it has varying causes, including bacterial infection, injury to the prostate and nervous or immune system disorders.
In many instances, the cause is never known, according to MayoClinic.com. Certain exercises can protect prostate health and help reduce some of the painful symptoms associated with prostatitis.
Who Benefits
Exercise might relieve pain associated with chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome. If you experience abdominal, groin, genital, rectal or lower back pain, difficulties urinating, painful orgasms or other symptoms from prostatitis, exercise can be an effective lifestyle-based part of treatment.
Exercise might also help manage the side-effects of certain prostate cancer treatments, notes the Harvard Medical School.
Even men who are generally unresponsive to other types of treatment can be helped by exercising.

If you are looking to strengthen your abdomen and pelvis as well as maintain good posture, then Pilates is for you. It also has a strong mind/body connection, so you may like it if you enjoy yoga but need a more intense core workout.
Pilates is great for strengthening and toning your core and for increasing your flexibility, but it’s not a comprehensive strength building program. You will need to supplement it with some other exercises if you want to build up your arm or calf muscles. Talk to your trainer to see what would be best. And don’t forget your cardio!
Pilates involves precise moves and specific breathing techniques. It’s not for you if you prefer a less structured program. It also won’t fit your needs if you are looking for an aerobic workout.
Pilates can be very demanding, so start slowly.
