Hi. I need to reverse these exercises for right side pain, Correct? Or is this one of those things that the left nerve affects the right side and vice versa? By the way, I have more difficulty hearing the new video one because of the echo, the audio on this one is clear and sounds perfect on my laptop, but I have saved the new version also. I'm happy to have found you, I have been suffering for 5 years with groin pain, multiple MRIs, steroid shots and other treatments that have not helped. I will be trying this today and throughout the next week and am hoping this is the answer I have been looking for. Thank you for your excellent instruction.

[@alshimaaeleffish3205]

Is having pain after exercise is normal. And if the pain will improve gradually?

[@derylhorne1824]

I can't tell you how grateful I am to discover your channel. In only 2 sessions the agony I was in has almost vanished. I am a long distance runner and a chiropractor made my pain so much worse. Now it is at last almost gone. Thank you

I have been going to urology with constant frequency and urgency for 15 years with no luck! I have hip and groin pain/ache and had sciatic problems over the years (all left side) I also have constant pins & needles in the inside of my left foot! I’ve finally self diagnosed that it could be to do with my obturator internus! I’ve started doing the stretching and it’s been agony to start with I’ve never noticed this pain before but I guess it’s because the muscle wasn’t used much! But now I feel like I have hope after years of feeling like doctors didn’t believe me 🤞🏻

[@barbarawood956]

I have the same symptoms as you…have these stretches helped? How are you doing now?

[@karenwhite4464]

The pudendal nerve can get inflamed when the obturator internus is tight. It passes along side the OT. This can cause urinary frequency and urgency among other things. Sounds like foot pain related to sciatic nerve. I've had to self diagnose also even after seeing a pelvic floor PT! I'm having similar problems. I hope these stretches have helped! I'm just starting today.

[@pqthegr8658]

I suffer from the majority of the issues you discuss. I was once enrolled in Physical Therapy @ Rehab Pilates studio/clinic in San Leandro, CA for Sciatica/Hip; it helped me so much; I find your shared methods and education the perfect match for me , there are not many Physical Therapist who combine the two therapies. I am a nurse, am 64 years old, a Army Veteran (where injuries occurred ) and in pain/stiffness to the point I was diagnosed with gastritis from taking too much Naprosyn. I have been searching for alternatives for healing since then. Your program seems to be a perfect fit & I will sign up for your Master Class. Thanks for what you are doing for us.

Is it possible for a pulled obturator internus to be a contributing factor to pelvic floor pain and/or pudendal nerve irritation?

[@AnniePilatesPhysicalTherapist]

Chris Yonge yes due to the fact the pedestal nerve is near the muscle belly and the obturator internus is also a pelvic floor muscle as it passes through the lesser Sciatic notch near the pubic bone and hip joint .

Annie should I do this on both sides or only the effected side?

[@BobStenson]

I was in a hit-from-behind car accident in 2018 and developed the symptoms of obturator internus injury. I had physical therapy, but the therapists were never able to find the problem since I had multiple problems from my neck, back, shoulders, and just about everything. I've suffered since then with inability to walk sometimes and pain that wakes me up at night. For the hip, they would ask me where the pain was. I would say, it's hard to define. It's like it's inside my hip. I knew there was a problem with my groin, but that didn't make sense to the therapists since most of the muscle tightness was in my buttocks. Last night, I pressed in my abdomen deeply and found the spot deep inside my hip. I started researching this morning and found my symptoms match an obturator internus injury. I've been stretching the piriformis for a couple years, but that hasn't helped. I see the piriformis, obturator externus/internus, quadratis femoris, and gemellus inferior/superior are related. I think I should go to someone who could isolate the problem since I'm not absolutely sure it's the obturator internus. Or should I just try these stretches and see if I can treat it myself?

I'm 62 year old female. I'm wondering if I have a hernia there too. I don't want to get too personal here but it only flares up when I have had my my hips/ pelvic area stretched wide. Sexual activity is not as frequent due to menopause...so i think my pelvic floor is weak. My low lumbar area has disc degeneration as well. I'm falling apart! I can hardly move my right hip/leg afterward. Again trying not to get personal, but wanting to know if the exercises helped you, and did you have to get a mri to be diagnosed with the hernia?

[@teresasugden466]

Sorry, I just re-read your comment and realized you had an mri.

I had a nerve issue happen when walking home from work like 3 years ago or something. Really painful. But it has never fully healed. I get pain on the inner thigh in the groin area and I think based on checking anatomy it is this nerve you mention. It starts to flare up the more I stand around without moving and also when I go walking I have to stop every once in a while at a bus stop and start pulling my left leg up towards my chest and bend down enough until it gets a bit easier with less pain and I cross my leg over and push down on the knee area and it helps a bit (advice from a different nerve when I was looking into it ages ago). If I do these exercises of yours, would this heal the issue? Or is this just about pain management or something? Thanks.

It can be something more , try the exercises and if you find relief it will take a couple of months to fully recover especially you have this syndrome for 3 years now . Best of health

It can be your hip Joint if you have OA

Two bad knees make your second progression impossible for me. Any suggestions?

[@AnniePilatesPhysicalTherapist]

Place 2 pillows of at least 3 to 6 inches thick on your Buttocks to Help Support your tight hips and Will have less pressure on your knees , then as you lengthen and strengthen your hip muscles then slowly remove 1 pillow at a Time until you can fo the 2 nd progression . Let me know if it Will Help your knees , then if it still hurts you then add another pillow and test whatever uou can tolerate . And if it is still impossible due to bad OA on your knees then just do the other 2 options i have . Unfortunately with OA we cant force the knee capsules to twist so much that can create an inflammation and derangement on your knees .
