Cam we use this to massage prostate ?

[@gregfeit5764]

I’m commenting cautiously optimistic. I did the tennis ball move and the 3 basic stretches last night, and woke up feeling 50% improved already. I’ve been back and forth the urologist for what I assumed (and the Dr) was chronic prostititis. Pressure in anus, pressure in perineum, discomfort in testicles. Low PSA, DRE negative, and on and off Bactr for 4 weeks with no relief. Worse when I sit, terrible when I drive, better when walking. If this ends up being a pelvic floor issue that can be fixed with PT, I’m going to feel really silly, but I’m praying it is! I have nearly no ability to stretch my legs open and have always had super tight muscles in that area (no flexibility). This all seems to fit the bill. I’ll be doing these exercises daily now, and will report back with results 🙏🙏

[@scribeinfo1824]

Ok dear tell any other improvement if any plz explain

[@DrEricLeckie]

No reason to feel silly at all. I'm glad that this video has helped you. If it were me I would double down on pelvic floor stretching, stress management strategies (meditation and mindfulness). Please keep me updated!

[@garyrooksby]

Brilliant. Thanks, Eric. These stretches are helping with my bladder issues due to my multiple sclerosis. I posted on one of your vids about kegel exercises and you suggested stretching instead. Big improvement! You really make a difference in people's lives. Thank you so much.

I was doing pelvic floor acupressure wrong, until your video. You provided a great explanation, despite the restrictions around diagrams and picutres of that area. I did one 30 second round and i immediately feel some relief. Dude, this video mean a lot. Subscribed. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. Have a great weekend!

So basically both sides of the prostate? I have cpp that I just started seeing the doctor for and they had me doing pelvic floor stretches. If I put my hand under me when sitting and push in the prostate area it feels like immense relief and most pain disappears. Going to try this.

[@DrEricLeckie]

Yes exactly, let me know if this helps you :) Remember to go slow and breathe deeply

[@therebellion6911]

@@DrEricLeckie I think this would be great for anyone not in as much pain as Im in to keep healthy. I hurt from prostate to tail bone. Six months going to a doctor and wanted me to have an internal hemorrhoid removed. week and half ago he send me to a specialist and they tell me it was cpp and not the hemorrhoid. Long story short what feels great is pushing with two fingers firmly in the pain full areas and holding. Such a relief. Also doing pelvic floor stretches, and some do alot more than other. Got four that give me relief. I get this week feeling in that area that feels good that I can only describe as nerve ending waking up that might have been asleep. Havnt had my next visit with the doc yet so not sure if this is accurate but am thankful for the fast (six months) diagnosis as Ive read the horror stories of men in pain for ten yrs and I cant imagine. Keep making people aware of how to stay healthy.

[@sarty23]

​@@DrEricLeckiehave to try this. Im desperate

[@intheair2777]

I don't have a prostate problem, but if there is some value in this I guess it would be good to start before an issue. HOWEVER, what is the massaging doing? Let me see if I can ask this correctly. Is it tenderising or in some sense loosening up an area that over time tightens, does it push clogged blood flow, or collagen or some body fluids that gathered there and distributes it again? Does it force some sort of product that hardened over time?

[@DrEricLeckie]

Technically it sends feedback to the brain to send inhibitory signals down to the muscle being "overstimulated" resulting in relaxation. With that said, there's not a lot of great research to explain the mechanism behind massage and trigger point therapy

what about incontinence at 70 years of age??

[@zryanmuheddin3660]

Hello dear. Pls could you select the place exactly where to put the tennis ball, by Pic or animation

[@Trazynn]

Just feel with your fingers for a sore muscle between your genitals and your sphincter. Can't miss it because it's a very unpleasant feeling.

[@donaldrose5530]

I got ahead of myself. The accupunturist... was treating a urologist who shared that.

[@RickWilliamscrm]

I'm definitely going to try this but my question is can't you massage the perineum with your hand, your GF or wife's hand or their foot as well?

[@parksguy3018]

Is this exercise suitable for all ages? Example I’m 74 and quite thin.

[@DrEricLeckie]

Yes it should be suitable for most but always check with your primary physician first if you’re concerned

[@markbajek2541]

hows the gerbil?

[@amitchell9096]

[@stevepollard2169]

You serious. If you feel better movement.

[@Thesalamanca]

Pls answer this, which one is better to do with tight pelvic floor, deep heavy squat or 90 degree

[@zoomermcboomer4771]

Deep squat is just superior. All gravity pulling it down makes stretching pelvic floor much easier with deep belly breathing.

[@BTinKH]

What about bicycling with a narrow seat?

[@DrEricLeckie]

I'm a cyclist as well and I opt for a seat with a cut out in the middle for the perineum. Especially if you're over 50 with prostate issues

[@PankajSharma-zc4yq]

Does it help with urine hesitancy due to pelvic floor dysfunction

[@DrEricLeckie]

Yes, it should help. This manual release helps to relieve overactive pelvic floor muscles, getting them to relax

[@ahmedaa2360]

You said that exercise increases the possibility of tension in the pelvic floor muscles, so what are these exercises to avoid? Secondly, is the distance between the sitting bone and the anus sufficient for a tennis ball to sink into these muscles, or do we move the ball forward towards the front of the body?

[@DrEricLeckie]

Yes exactly however you do not have to avoid any exercises. Tension and stiffness is a byproduct of exercises and not to be feared. It's just that you might have to add in a few stretches if your pelvic floor muscles are starting to tighten. Like a car, the more you drive it, the oil changes it will need. The more exercises you do, the more release and stretching you'll need. I hope that made sense? Yes, the distance is sufficient. You can try rolling the ball both backward and forward while in this position as well. You really can't go wrong

[@ahmedaa2360]

@@DrEricLeckie Yes, it really makes sense, thanks Dr.

[@garyrooksby]

@@ahmedaa2360 Both exercise and stretching are required for maximum muscle tone and strength. Don't overdo either but use both to gain maximum benefit. Have a great day.
