Obturator Internus

[@loriwilliamson5738]

FABULOUS video! You(Dan Hellman) explained perfectly how to execute the exercises.

[@christopherebhabha]

great presentation

[@marcobagut]

After one year I finally found out which muscles is aching... no physio had managed so far! I had sensations on my penis too, in fact I thought there was something worng with my pudental nerve! Is that connected? Thank you very much Dan Hellman!

[@volf4o]

marcobagut from what I’ve been researching it appears that muscles and soft tissues could actually compress the pudendal nerve.

[@hickorysocks2628]

Did you resolve it?

[@marcobagut]

@@hickorysocks2628 Yes, although I need to keep exercising and stretching!

[@hickorysocks2628]

@@marcobagut thanks for responding! What exercises and stretches do you do?

[@hickorysocks2628]

@@marcobagut Also did you ever have the sensation of tingling in the obturator internus area when stretching open the side of your body that you have the tension on?

Hello, I am 13 weeks PO from labral tear, and FAI . I've been having significant pain around my inguinal ligament and my external rotation is not quite there. (No hernia found) My PT thinks is my obturator. Those exercise are impossible for me at this point because I'm still not that flexible...is there a modified version of them for post surgical patients?

[@KieranMacphail]

Top stuff Dan!

[@latalullah6655]

Brilliant. Thank you for this

[@robertwhite2449]

For those of you asking if OI dysfunctionand tightness can cause penis pain - absolutely yes! ( I know from first hand experience)

[@hickorysocks2628]

Robert White Did you resolve it??

[@avalinah]

Ive tried these but I cant even put my hip on the floor if i wrangle myself into these positions, much less lift anything :( If I do the first one, my supporting leg hurts very much because its overstretched and too open and I cant keep in up. Are there simplifications for people who are not yet very flexible?

[@DanHellman]

Yes, there are many modifications of this exercise.

[@ahaf1605]

Are you doctor or what? I have issues with my --I don't know where it is-- but it's about my hips, and buttocks, and lower abdomens, and lower backs. I thought it was piriformis syndrome, but lately I think it maybe my obturator internus. I went to doctors from neurologist, orthopaedic, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist, physiotherapist, none of them makes me any better. Please let me know where should I go to get better analysis and get proper treatment. Thanks.

How are you doing now?

I have an amazing pelvic floor program on H3TV. www.h3bydan.com

[@nicoleraymond1026]

Hi how would you modify these exercises for a senior

[@keirankainth]

Hi Dan, would you say tight Obturator muscles can cause penis pain/tingling?

[@md.ashrafulalam9925]

Yes

[@DanHellman]

Absolutely yes!

[@PILATESFORTHEPEOPLE]

Hi Dan, What is the purpose in turning the torso with palms open and down in the closed chain exercise? Can you explain? These are great exercises - thanks! Andrea

[@patrikl4678]

+Dan Hellman Dan, do you know any techniques that help to ease tension within this muscle rather than strengthen it?

[@zumbagirlnaples]

My other question, do you have any videos you can share for PO arthroscopic hip rehab? Thanks!

[@TheRetrospective]

Is there a name for this system?

[@rajsidhu1854]

Hi Friend, was watching this video and i've got something similar but much worse hip joint problem. When i do a side adductor leg lift after a few of them i will experience a loud hip snapping or thud in the lower left inner buttock and then shortly after experience severe pain in the hip external muscles and will swell up and causes inflammation in the area. I firstly thought it is due to a iliopsoas muscle injury but i am not sure what exact cause of the hip popping is? I have worked on strengthening the external hip rotators with clams and isometric exercises but have eventually started to get knock knees now with the feeling of tightness in the pelvic hips when trying to stand straight so to my awareness i need to strengthen the internal hip rotators. My overall stomach muscles are fine and also have ok glute muscles, so as i now progress into strengthening my internal hip rotator muscles could you please advice whether i need to strengthen particular glute muscles with may be lounges in order to stop the hip popping in my left leg when i go to do the side left adductor leg lift? I have this problem for about 2 years now and has resulted in terrible pain from this main cause into uneven pelvis to si joint snapping and weakness. To give you some degree what i think may have caused this is i saw a CP who pulled on my inner pelvis upwards whilst i lay facing on my side, i don't know why he did this but i asked another CP and he told me it may have been to readjust the front pelvic joint but i never had an issue with this and the reason i was seeing the first CP was because of a lower lumber L5 issue where he was adjusting it with a kind of bulb suction pump on the area and manually repositioning it and prior to the injury the person gave me some so called snake oil to apply around the side hips and lower back and i applied it a few times which were to tenderlise the muscles in order to move the L5 vertebrea in place. Personally i think he messed up my body for god knows why but now over a few months later i have this issue of a hip instability problem, i ve ruled out FAI and lebral tear as i feel i need to strenfthen particular muscles in that region of the hip. When the person pulled on the inner hip upwards at the time with both hands interlocked, i heard and felt certain muscles stretch and i think those might have been within the SI joint, the external including the piriformis or internal hip muscles? I know this is abit to read but have been through abit lately like losing my job over it and trying to recover from this as i am unable to work due to it so if you could give any advice over what might be causing the hip popping when i do a side leg raise to target the adductor muscle? But now having read up on the instability hip joint it makes sense that is my issue and watching this video of the 2 exercises i ask if you can recommend which one would be more likely the exercise for me to do as i don't want to risk doing both in case i cause it to pop and cause inflammation in the joint as its been quite frequent that this has been happening and want it to rest for now. Would much appreicate your reply Kind regards Raj

[@UmmIbrahim7]

Hi Dan. I have internal femur rotation with anterior pelvic tilt. Is this exercise suitable for me? Else can you suggest an exercise that will externally rotate femur?

[@DaveBuikema]

Correction for any mechanical dysfunction is the opposite, if you wish to challenge it directly. This model applies to all aspects of your body. If your femur is rotated internally, rotate it externally. However, you might want to consider the mechanics that would cause femoral rotation. Is your tibia rotated? Do you have ankle injuries? Is your psoas hypertonic? Are your lumbars flexed? Is your diaphragm working? Are the crux of the diaphragm interfering with your mesenteric plexuses? How are you digesting? How are you eating? It's all connected. If you notice measureable or immeasureable changes happening in your body, you should get everything checked by a professional. Zooming into your acetabulum is foolish.

How to do this exercise for left obt. int. following left above-knee amputation?

[@getfastandstrong7183]

Hi Dan, I have an athlete with chronic hamstring pain that we have tried numerous things with to no avail. Do you think this could help?

[@DanHellman]

I am not sure about that, but why not try it?

[@10oshii]

What method is this practice from?

[@DanHellman]

The "method" is called segmental strengthening. It is based on the knowledge of biomechanics.

[@jpd464]

Have you ever heard of the O.I. muscle being overworked due to weakness in the other external rotators? If so, is this common? Thank you. I know of a physical therapist who actually accesses the O.I. intra-vaginally to release that kind of tightness.

[@DanHellman]

Absolutely this could be the case.

[@DanHellman]

I am not sure why you say that, it is pretty straight forward.

[@ellenkuczeruk1394]

@@DanHellmanyour terminology is fine for professionals, however, the average person with pain in these areas may find it difficult to follow. Perhaps the first thing would be a diagram of the locations you refer to. Also, how does pain present itself if there is “damage” in these areas.? If we’re watching this video we are most likely desperate for any exercise that brings relief so it’s important to know if we’re targeting the right areas. Glad you are addressing the specific muscle groups. Many videos simply refer to pelvic floor. Thanks
