THERAPEUTIC PROSTATE MASSAGE
FOR MALE PELVIC HEALTH
THE IMPORTANCE OF MALE PROSTATE HEALTH
Tantric-Taoist Massage Therapy is becoming a popular holistic treatment for supporting men with prostate wellness, and also with physical and emotional recovery after prostate surgery and other medical procedures. Some Urologists are now recommending patients with prostate conditions to seek out therapeutic prostate massage. Kate Elena is committed to supporting men with prostate issues, and educating the wider public about prostate health.
UK Government statistic published in January 2020 show that prostate cancer is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in England. The good news is that the outcome for men with prostate cancer has improved in recent years, especially if diagnosed early on. Unfortunately, many men are still too embarrassed to seek medical help and talk about urogenital problems, or fearful to have a rectal examination.
In the Tantric and Taoist (Ancient Chinese) health systems, however, internal prostate massage has been developed and practiced over 100's of years as a practical tool for men's long-term sexual and pelvic health.
WHAT IS THE MALE PROSTATE GLAND?
The prostate is a small gland in the pelvic area located internally between the penis and the bladder. It produces a fluid that constitutes 70% of semen, which provides nutrition and lubrication for sperm via the urethra.
The gland varies in size and shape depending on a man’s age and physical condition, and it’s often described as having the size and shape of a walnut.
WHAT IS A THERAPEUTIC TANTRIC PROSTATE MASSAGE?
Tantric Healing Bodywork Therapy specialises in genital bodywork, including internal prostate massage. Most other holistic therapies completely avoid the pelvic area. It offers a non-clinical approach for prostate health, performed in a professional and caring environment.
Sessions include a thorough consultation process, and specialist bodywork to release tension and relax the client’s body before the prostate massage takes place. The internal massage is a gentle treatment which lasts 10 - 15 minutes.
Kate Elena has given hundreds of therapeutic prostate massage treatments to men of all ages and backgrounds. It's a new experience for many clients, so sessions are designed with plenty of time for consultation and preparatory bodywork. The holistic treatment is given in a comfortable and professional therapy space.
Kate also gives advice about self-prostate massage during in-person and online sessions.

FIVE STEPS OF A PROSTATE MASSAGE TREATMENT
Kate Elena works with many men who have never received a prostate massage before, and takes care to ensure that the prostate massage is a comfortable and effective treatment. The five steps include:
1. PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATION: Discussing client's needs before the appointment, completion of a confidential client questionnaire, and consultation time at the start of the session, so that clients can share their personal situation and ask questions.
2. PREPARATORY BODYWORK: The session begins with deep, relaxing bodywork including the whole of the back of the body. It’s important to release any physical tension to prepare the client’s body for the treatment (unlike many quick clinical examinations!). Specialist Tantric-Taoist massage techniques will also be used to release tension in the pelvic area and buttocks, before starting the massage.
3. INFORMED CONSENT:: Consent is discussed and agreed during the consultation. Permission is also asked again just before the internal work begins. The session is ‘client-led’, so clients can change their mind about receiving the prostate massage at any point.
4. THERAPEUTIC INTERNAL MASSAGE: The prostate massage generally lasts around 10-15 minutes for new clients, and is performed in a gentle and respectful way. The whole session, including consultation, usually takes 3 hours (or up to 5 hours if part of a Full Tantric Healing session).
5. AFTER-CARE: After the session, clients receive an email with suggestions for maintaining prostate wellness. Kate generally recommends regular treatments to maintain long-term prostate health.
WHAT DOES A THERAPEUTIC PROSTATE MASSAGE FEEL LIKE?
New clients often describe their first prostate massage as a unique and expansive experience. For some clients, the massage can be experienced as pleasant and enjoyable.
Occasionally, discomfort or pain can arise which may be linked to physical or emotional trauma. Kate is a Certified Trauma Aware practitioner and will support the client with any emotions or physical sensations that arise. Kate may also suggest seeking the support of a Trauma Resolution specialist after the session. The internal massage will stop if the client experiences pain.
Most clients experience deep relaxation after the prostate treatment, and are surprised at how effectively it can remove stress and tension from the whole body. This feeling makes up of for any anxiety or shyness about receiving a therapeutic internal massage!
