Vacuum Erection Therapy

Supporting recovery, preserving tissue health and restoring confidence.

A non-invasive treatment that uses gentle negative pressure to increase blood flow into the penis.

While often associated with helping achieve an erection for sexual activity, vacuum devices also play an important role in penile rehabilitation, helping maintain tissue health and supporting recovery after periods of reduced erectile function.

At CoreGood it’s used as part of a personalised programme: supporting recovery after prostate surgery, assisting men with ED, or maintaining healthy tissue while other treatments take effect.

Why it might be recommended

Healthy erectile tissue depends on regular blood flow and oxygen delivery.

When erections become less frequent, whether due to ED, prostate surgery, certain conditions or medications, the tissues of the penis may gradually lose elasticity and responsiveness.

Vacuum Erection Therapy provides a practical way of increasing blood flow to the penis and may help support tissue health during rehabilitation. It can also provide an erection suitable for sexual activity when appropriate.

Our goal isn’t simply to help create an erection. It’s to support long-term erectile health and recovery.

Not everyone will benefit, which is why assessment always comes first.

What happens during treatment

Your physiotherapist explains how the device works and demonstrates correct technique, ensuring you understand how to use it safely and effectively.

If recommended, you receive a personalised programme based on your goals. This may include rehabilitation protocols, programmes following prostate surgery, and guidance on pressure, duration and frequency.

You also receive ongoing support to help optimise results and answer questions as your rehabilitation progresses.

Our treatments don’t compete with each other. They complement each other.

This treatment is rarely the entire solution. Depending on your assessment, your personalised programme may also include:

Is it right for you?

Every recommendation begins with understanding.

You don’t need to know whether this is the right treatment for you. You simply need to know you’d like something to change. Together we’ll identify what’s holding you back and build a personalised pathway forward.
