Pelvic Health

Bio

Dr. Lance Frank (he/him) is a physical therapist that specializes in pelvic floor dysfunction in all gender identities. Shortly after graduating from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Lance opened his own practice, Flex PT ATL, in Midtown – the gay mecca and heart of Atlanta. Lance is one a small group of penis-having therapists that treat pelvic floor disorders, and one of an even smaller group of queer practitioners that work in pelvic health. Being in the LGBTQIA+ community himself, Dr. Lance understands the awkwardness that queer people can feel in doctors offices discussing vulnerable issues surrounding their genitals. He also understands the toxic masculinity culture that makes it difficult for those with penises to discuss pelvic health concerns and sexual dysfunction as well. 

In his clinic, Lance sees cisgender and transgender men and women with pelvic floor dysfunction; however, most of his caseload consists of people with penises. These patients have a wide range of issues involving the pelvic floor like urinary and bowel dysfunction, sexual health concerns, and pelvic pain. Of these issues, a few of the more common diagnoses he sees are prostatitis, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, urinary urgency/frequency, pain with erections / ejaculation / penetration, erectile dysfunction, and testicular pain.    

When Lance isn’t treating in the clinic, he’s likely spending time traveling with his partner, cuddling with their 3 pups and cat, working out, or spending too much time on TikTok.
