[@kathleenfontaine-gs3kv]

Thank you to this.I am feeling my pelvic floor moving, for the first time after going to physical therapy for 4 months for this breathing problem. You’re awesome. 🎉🎉🎉

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

That’s so wonderful! I am so grateful this was helpful to you!

[@sgtpvtltd5957]

It really works great on Pelvic floor muscles! It's amazing!!! Today first time I found your tips that works Thank You very much Sir.It helped me today.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

So wonderful to hear. So glad it is helpful.

[@lauralanebender7738]

I love this and you demos and instructions are so simple to follow. Thank you so much.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

You are so welcome!

[@bkaczmarski]

Good to know I’m not the only one who feels and teaches the feeling of pelvic floor as a stretching trampoline filling up with pressure 🙏

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Totally!

[@stradegy3338]

Lol robber

[@lov2playtn]

I have constipation issues and heard that strengthen the pelvic floor could help. Naturally, I checked with you for best exercises and will start doing them. Thanks!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Breathe on my friend! I hope it helps.

[@saleemakhtar4704]

Excellent. Your techniques are amazing for seniors

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

that’s wonderful. Seniors are just advanced youngsters.

[@floetry1111]

This is what I needed. Thank you big time!!! will be sharing this one. Great work.

[@brianm9267]

I did video 1 and 2 just now with small hemmroids. they honestly feel a bit better. I found with my right knee clutched to my chest in the first videos exercises it was way harder to breathe than with my left and there was a small popping sound. 🤷 Hopefully my hammock going back where it belongs lol.

[@eugenecepeda5104]

Very helpful. Thank you 🙏

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

So glad!

[@northernmicroplant1095]

Sir, I have been informed that the course of radiotherapy I am scheduled for in August will do damage to my bladder & other organs & pelvic floor exercises will help I have followed this & part one twice a day & it has been of great benefit is there any of your other of your videos you would suggest to gentlemen in my position? your positive demeanor & comments has more an effect then you will know I thank you & wish you well

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Hello, my friend. If you haven’t seen this video it’s a great place to start or continue with (How to Strengthen the Pelvic Floor kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6nMo2Rjn7emgdE). Also, I’ve been thinking about making a third and final video for this. I will work to get it done in the next few weeks. I wish you restoration in full health and wholeness.

[@mgakidd]

Hi Tim Do we do part 2 instead of part 1? I feel this is better.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It really just depends on what your body needs. Part one is the base starting spot. But part 2 can be the place to start for bodies that are ready for it.

[@mgakidd]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem Thanks

[@kelvins6525]

Eager to start pelvic floor strengthening after watching your video. Dumb question but when performing those exercises,where does inhaling and exhaling occur during the execution of the exercise?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Inhaling and exhaling is the exercise. You are breathing in down into your belly or center while in different positions and movements.

[@Uxhagsjngc]

Hey Tim, These exercises seem similar to Part 1 but done in an "opposite" position :-) These are helpful, Thank you!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Excellent!

[@opetaiaravuladreketirua]

Thanks Tim! Value/Treasure piece of knowledge.. thanks

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Hope it was helpful!

[@satishramkumarch3869]

For how should one do Part 1 exercises before moving to Part 2?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

If one is easy and you feel you can master it, add part two. No need to not do one though. It’s always useful

[@jaideepnegi6881]

Thank sir for providing me a understanding about the relation between both the diaphragms. 🙏🙏🌼 does putting tongue against the roof of the mouth also connected to the diagrams ??? How

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

The tongue does connect/affect the diaphragms. You can experience if for yourself. Remove the tongue from the roof of your mouth and take a big breath in through your nose. Then put the tongue on the roof of your mouth and take a big breath in through your nose. Was there a difference? Which one was easier?

[@jaideepnegi6881]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem Yes, I felt the difference. Latter one is easier and inhalation seems more smoother. I really found something new about my breathing.. Thanks again sir for realising me this subtle difference. you will always be remembered whenever I do this. 🙏🌼🏵️ I will integrate this to my yoga practice also.

[@farajawesley9411]

How do i know if am having hypertension to relax the muscles or to strengthen them?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

A medical specialist would be able to help you there. The breathing techniques can help with both.

[@jk3266]

You are the spring of knowledge

[@edwinabreu2493]

Hello, great! first time for me doing theses exercises for the pelvic floor; it is helping a lot, I am feeling more confident, better breathing, helping my back, also loosing some weighs. I liked and I subscribed to the channel. My reason to do theses exercises is to perform my sex activity and help my pelvic floor affected for a hernia, by the way, I am not feeling too much the pain from the inguinal hernia.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

So glad to hear the video is helpful to you! And so glad to hear you are healing. Keep up the good work!

[@muhammedaman6732]

For how long

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Aim for 5 to 10 minutes 1 to 2 times a day.

[@jimoneprism]

Will this help me hold my urine so I don't have an accident? Thank you for the video by the way!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It may be helpful here - restoring the reflexive tone

[@suppaman1071]

Yea soo...I'm like 17ish and I have really frequent urination, have been living with this for the last 2 yrs. And it just keeps getting worse. Have done almost all urinary tests and came out negative. And so came to the conclusion that it might be that I lost strength in my pelvic floor. So now Imma try doing the exercises you showed, but my question is would this actually work..

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It can actually work. And you can heal.

[@everythingsavoury9378]

Are your exercises for the male gender alone? I have been practicing them and I am a female.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

No, they are for all people.

[@vivekbansal8544]

I how much time the pelvic floor will get good?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It is a process and it depends on where a person is starting from. The best advice I have is just show up everyday and put in a little practice. It all adds up.

[@MrDani1235]

Is bouncing on a gymnasticball also good for the pelvic floor? Does it have the same effect like the last exercise?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I suppose it can be. The effect will still be a bit different though

[@rafaelcarrera9436]

Is the belly breathing you are referring to just expanding the abdomen while keeping the chest relatively flat, or are there any additional cues to follow?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

This may help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3K3potjf9hlqtk

[@chrisbrownlov1]

Would these be okay to do 3 weeks postpartum? How soon after birth would you recommend?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

That should be fine, as this revolves around breathing and restoring breath - but it is always best to yield to the guidance of your trusted physician.

[@callmeplnhead]

So is the pelvic floor contracted during the in breath or the out breath(belly pushout)

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

On the in breath it descends like the diaphragm, it stretches. On the out breath, it all ascends like the diaphragm and shortens or contracts

[@Soni-ke2pb]

Will this work for a person with sudden constipation ?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

You may want to try the vacuum - where you exhale all your air and then suck your abs into your rib cage.

[@nod3232]

very good tips, thanks!

[@dpatel6393]

Do we do this daily ?? Can we do part one first and master it before part 2! Thank u tim

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Yes, daily is a good practice as it helps let your nervous system know you want to strengthen and change.

[@charlesramsay2401]

I applied some of your floor experience at Planet Fitness and used your breathing demo on some of the mechanical devices notably the ab bench crunch the one involves lifting ones legs.and shoulder with weights simultaneously and other devices flexing the ab rectice. I could really feel the affects lower abs below navel. There is another that centers.on the oblects the one turns 90.degress against weights. Can one apply the breathing demo as well?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It depends. But when engaging in weight training, or very forceful movements, it May be better and safer to use the breath to generate power, stability, and strength.

[@charlesramsay2401]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem I do the light activity as warmup before I do weights. But could feel the affects on lowe ab pelvis area.

[@mccab7714]

Hi. I have difficulty passing my poop i have constipation and i have a very difficulty in urinating. Slow urine flow . stop and start it affects my quality of life. I avoid drinking lots of water beacause of these. I have these when i am 19 years old and now im 26 years old. Please can you help me. Im in deppression. does this exercise help my problem?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I would think this would be helpful to practice. It has an effect on all of those muscles involved in the processes of elimination. My best advice would be to try it for a month and discover if your situation improves or not.

[@drywalljunkie6969]

How about for an inflamed bladder would this work ?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It can. You may find great relief from stimulating the reflexology points for the bladder in your feet. They are along the medial arch

[@KoolAidDinkyTV]

Hello I have some issues. I am a 20 years old male. Like two weeks ago, I was having urgency to Urinate. I Urinated like 6-13 times. I went to get tests for UTIs or Kidney Stones. Tests were negative nothing was abnormal. When I urinate I feel like there's urine left in my penis so I have to strain or push to get the rest out. It takes 3 or 4 seconds for urine to start even though I have urges. Sometimes a little urine leaks in small drops. I have like discomfort in urethra and sometimes I have like twitching or fasciculations inside my urethra. Before that I also had constipation but It did not worry me but I noticed that the constipation stayed and sometimes It’s hard to pass gas. This is scaring me. Before this happened, I used to lift 20lbs weight with both arms and did sit ups. I also used to run for 25-30 minutes without stopping. Do you think that’s what is causing my problema with bladder

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I brother, I’m so so sorry to hear of your issues. I do not think that the weight lifting and running is the cause though. I would recommend seeking a good urologist to consult with but I also want you to know without a doubt that you can heal and you can get on the other side of this. This too shall pass - hold onto knowing that.

I recently had my Illeostomy Stoma reversal surgery can I do these exercises pl reply

[@brendapeter446]

So Is part 3 crawling while integrating your breathing into the movement? Guess what I've been working on ;)?

Actually, no but I like that you are exploring that. I’ve been thinking about releasing part 3 lately.

On June 24, 2022 I had my Prostate removed because of cancer! Now is the road to recovery! I have done the first part a little and just found the second part, this is a little more difficult because of the abdominal pains due to the incisions. Are there other exercises I can do for my bladder? Thank you!

Hey, I might just stay with the first part for now. Your body is still healing well and the there is no need to jump to this part too soon.

Hi Tim, I'm confused all the pelvic floor exercises, breathing in {inhale] and out [exhale] is only through the Nose. The mouth is never, never used. Right?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Right, breath through the nose - in these exercises

[@cinnamongirl3070]

Absolutely right! The mouth is only for eating and talking, not breathing. 🙂

[@kextertv]

How quickly do results show?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Hey, I answered you on another thread. I hope it helps.

[@dpatel6393]

Are kegels pointless or should we do this instead or both daily

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I cannot say that kegels are pointless. I can say that they are cognitive contractions and we are designed to be reflexive. Especially the function of our diaphragms.

[@robindavis7023]

great video!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

🙏

[@rizwan_azam1]

How much time would you say we might have to do this to notice a change?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It’s really hard to say as it’s an individual thing. But, an easy thing to do would be to try it for 5 minutes every day for 30 days and then decide if it was helpful or not. you may know well before then, but you just want to give yourself a chance for time and showing up to work for you. I hope this helps.

I’m a 19 year old male who’s had very weird bladder issues for about 4 years now I go pee hourly sometimes even every 10-30 min it’s very very hard to pee sometimes and painful to I’ve been tested for everything and have no disease that they can find yet I’m honestly really healthy 145 5’10 and have been staying much more active lately but these issues started when I was being pretty lazy and staying inside all the time especially when covid started to hit and I’m just so confused on why my life is being almost stopped by bladder or kidney issues

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Hey Dylin. It sounds like your issue could be psychosomatic. Meaning it’s very real, but created by your mind, or stress, or worry, or focus, or something… I understand where you are at, i went through a similar season. What helped me was to KNOW that there was nothing physically wrong and that this would eventually pass. So, when it hurts, or when the urge to pee comes, or when whatever very weird sensations approach you, know that they are only sensations and they will pass. Let it be “OK” that they are there. Let them be there, then let them go. Don’t focus on them. Don’t analyze them. Allow them to come so you can allow them to go. You are a young, healthy, strong man. This will pass. You will get to the other side and this will just be a memory one day. Know that: This will pass and you’re going to be okay.

This happened to me and Tim is totally right. Too much focus on you tighten and over tone. I’ve just started to look at how much tension I hold in my pelvic floor and as a man it’s not talked about. The last exercises really helps calm and relax things.

Hey Tim, I just wanted to ask a quick question regarding crawling. I’ve a fairly tall stature and struggle with building strength. I’ve been baby crawling for a number of weeks daily now yet feel like I’m not able to leapord or spider man crawl yet. I can but my back rounds and head struggles to stay up. Do I continue to crawl in leapord or spider man and eventually strengthen the pattern or would it be best to continue baby crawling until I can crawl with better posture?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Hey Ethan, without seeing you crawl, I’m only guessing but make sure you’re not trying to take to larger or long of a step. Tall people tend to do that and it rounds their spines. Take “small steps” with your feet - don’t try to cover a lot of ground. See if that helps. Also, crawl for the length of time or distance that you can maintain your head up and back flat. Rest when you lose it. Even if it’s only 5 steps, that a good 5 steps. When you recover, crawl 5 more! It all adds up. I hope this helps.

@@OriginalStrengthSystem thanks for the response Tim, that definitely does help. I guess I got caught thinking it was either one or the other but taking smaller strides and steps does make sense. Thanks again

OK Tim . . . 'tongue on the roof of your mouth' . . . are you really suggesting your tongue belongs, up, in the highest part - as in 'roof'? Why? the tip of your tongue sits naturally right up against your upper teeth, fitting then along the part of the palate immediately behind your teeth. Are you suggesting it should go back and higher into the roof? Is this just a southern thing???

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It must be a southern thing. Against the roof touching the top teeth. Just swallow and feel where it goes. That is where it belongs.

[@alandun27]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem This is what I thought - you should clarrify this. The roof of your mouth is the high part of your hard palate - and your tongue does not belong there except on a cleaning expedition!!!
