Kegel Exercises Advanced Workout For Women

[@shalenaali9178]

I am following all your female kegel exercises. My doctor recommended it for the tail bone pain I’ve been having. Can you show some exercises specifically for this- the tail bone? I love how you do the exercises with us, as opposed to just showing us what to do as with other physiotherapists. You’re doing a great job and helping so many people. There’s no greater gift.

@shalenaali9178 Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, much appreciated. Yes I do have an exercise video specifically for tailbone pain here and I hope this helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYbKoaSdm7OtsLs 🙏

Thanks Kimouya, you are well on track if you are doing these daily! Thanks for commenting Michelle

[@tinaferr]

great vid! totally reframing my idea of kegels, thinking of "gains" in my pelvic floor muscles! also the slow contractions back down, and the pulses at the top. thank you so much!

[@michellephysio]

Hi great question - these are among the most common mistakes we see it usually means that the pelvic floor muscles are weak &/or may be trying to contract too strongly. Start activate just gently, focus on getting your technique right, then progress to stronger holds.You'lll find as your strength imrpoves, you should be able to breathe normally. You might try your Kegels lying down - on your belly, side or back (see beginners workout episode 4 of this series). Hope this helps! M

Thank you! I'll watch this daily.

[@suzannetucker8289]

Your videos are a god send. Thanks for putting them out there.

[@ByronThaiMassageSchool]

Hi Michelle, I'd like to check in on something you don't mention in these videos and that is how are we meant to breath while we are holding the lift and squeeze? Are we just inhaling or just exhaling or practicing both while holding? you mention a big breath after to relax the pelvic floor but I'm assuming it's also important what we are doing with our breath while contracting? Thank you

[@ТатьянаМануковская-г6м]

Just perfect! all the abdominal wall is feeling strong but at the same time fery vomfortable. I am sitting now, taping, but everything inside is kept gathered in a very gentle way. Thank you! Tatiana

[@manjumehra4292]

Thank you very much Michelle for this excellent exercise video.

[@daprip456]

Both the beginner and advanced excercises have helped thank you

[@michellephysio]

Hi Angela this will depend on how intact your pelvic floor (PF) muscles are. If you can sense some contraction then this is a good sign that progressive exercises can help. If your PF nerves or muscles have been damaged this will be more difficult. The key to strengthening is to progress (like in the gym) to strong holds and upright positions once you can contract your correctly. If you feel unsure abdout how to contract then see a PF Physio - we have gadgets and techniques etc hope this helps M

[@lilysomoano9155]

Good morning What are the stages for pelvic organ prolapse? Please And, what is cystocele? Please. Some one can answer me thanks

[@michellephysio]

@lilysomoano9155 A cystocele means the bladder has fallen out of place backwards into the front of the vaginal wall. Stage 1 means the bladder protrudes a little way into the vagina. Stage 2 means the bladder protrudes almost to the vaginal opening. Stage 3 means the bladder protrudes out of the vagina. Stage 4 means the bladder protrudes out of the vagina. I hope this info helps! 🙏

[@sijireney9658]

Hi Michelle, wanted to check if i can do these kegels during my periods . Is it safe

[@sasynadar1815]

does this branch can work for men as well ?

[@sterlingking]

So I have been doing these for a while and they are very strong but I have a habit of holding my breath and sucking my stomach in very hard. I'm trying to stop doing that and when I'm focusing on that I can't hold it for that long or too strong. Any suggestions??

a life saver for all us preggos! i think incontinence and a baby would be just too much to cope with, leaky enough as is postpartum!

[@annwilson2196]

Michelle - Thank you so much for sharing your expertise in this matter. Can you do these exercises wearing a pessary or would you recommend taking it out? TIA

Hi Michele I want to strengthen my pelfic floor muscle When we lift Nd squeeze (I mean exhale or inhale)

[@mybubbles5552]

Is it normal to feel a throbbing or tingling sensation around the urine tube and clitoral area while practicing these exercises? Can I practice these exercises while having a yeast infection? I have practiced these exercises a few times while having a yeast infection and I felt tinder and sore afterwards.

[@robertjohnston4785]

Hi Michelle Are these exercises for males post prostatectomy surgurg It all seems to target females Thanks

[@michellephysio]

Yes Robert, Kegels are for males post prostatectomy so these are applicable - the instructions/cues for activation are slightly different see here kzbin.info/www/bejne/moTUfGeVaL6Gg6s all the best

[@emmagavars6385]

advanced workout...up for 10 secs, pulses for 10 then back to holding for 10, back to 10 pulses as many as u can then rest for 10 seconds. repeat......

[@roxigrl2444]

agree - find 10 seconds even 15 more effective when your a little more advanced.

[@emmagavars6385]

@@roxigrl2444 15? I might try that myself now !

[@dinarefai1680]

Why are liftings for only 10 seconds? Could i increase the lifting time to accelerate the outcome?

[@michellephysio]

Dina Refai 10 seconds is the ideal length of time for training strength as women should use maximum strength with each hold when training for strength and control.Yes the exercises can be held for longer - up to 15 seconds to train endurance however most women are unable to use maximum strength for this length of time. Make sure to relax the pelvic floor between each contraction all the best to you Dina

Is kegal exercises helps in treating veginismus...??

[@michellephysio]

Thanks for your question, no unfortunately Kegel exercises make Vaginismus worse and should be avoided until the pelvic floor muscles can be relaxed voluntarily you can see how in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6bGkmtuqdKIq5o

[@drashyakushwah5452]

thanx... :)

[@evilprincess6]

every time I "lift" I feel like The only thing contracting is the rectum...not the vagina... Am I doing it wrong?

[@michellephysio]

+Anastacia Romanov your pelvic floor muscles are continuous with your rectum so you should feel the rectum contracting. As your strength & control improve you may start to feel more in and around your other pelvic openings too. You're on track.

hey missi ...im not a mother but i just want to know also that will this exersise still be worth a great idea .and also i have only been with one person b4 but i still would like to know how do you know when you got a loose vagina ? and can it help with that also ?

[@michellephysio]

+SHANKAY HAMILTON absolutely - these exercises can help with the tone of the vagina. Women with loose or lax pelvic floor muscles can have difficulty retaining a tampon or sometimes this occurs after vaginal delivery. Sometimes women just don't know that their pelvic floor muscles are weak. This is a great question, thank you!
