Relieve pelvic pain using a wand… it’s almost magic!

Persistent pelvic pain can be devastating. Though not necessarily the cause of your symptoms, often the pelvic floor muscles at the base of the pelvis are in spasm and having them manually released by a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist can relieve symptoms.
Do you have Interstitial Cystitis or Bladder Pain and want to know how to relieve your symptoms? Check out my 10 week online course: 50 videos, 4.5 hours of rewatchable information, exercise and relaxation sessions to start getting control of your bladder: www.jillybond.com/offers/CJrc...
That isn't the WHOLE Therawand story though... have a watch here for that: • Its not about the wand...
If having your pelvic floor released improves your symptoms you can use a therapeutic wand to get the same relaxation in your pelvic floor by yourself at home. This is great for those moments when you have to take a long car journey or eat something that sets off your pain - use the wand and hey presto! You’re feeling a bit better again. (Do make sure a qualified health professional has assessed you fully and taught you how first). Doing this regularly alongside physiotherapy can really help you to change your symptoms and to feel confidently in control of your own body again. It’s not for everyone, but if you feel this might help you, keep reading…
But, the secret is... It's not about the wand. With the vast amount of fantastic research coming out we've moved on from theories of "trigger points" in muscles to a better explanation of peripherally and centrally driven "tension myalgia" within a muscle. The muscle is painful, not because there's a problem with the muscles, but because the brain considers it under threat and so interprets signals from the area as threatening, and emits pain as a response to those signals. Pain is an output from the brain, not an input - you don't get pain in a part of your body which transmits up to your brain, it's up to the brain to determine how signals from the body are interpretted.
Like your physiotherapist's finger, the wand creates a counterirritation response (stamping on one foot often makes you forget about a headache) which provides natural pain relief to be released from the brain, reduces any localised inflammation around the pelvic nerves, provides local and centralised desensitisation of the pelvic floor muscles (the nerves aren't so jumpy anymore, and the way they're interpretted is much more relaxed by the brain). But most importantly the wand can give you a sense of control over your own condition, which is known to reduce the actual pain you experience. Cool! It's not about reducing the tension of the muscle or getting rid of knots, it's the process the muscle and whole vaginal region goes through by using a wand regularly that achieves a more relaxed muscle state and that in the end results in reduced pain, urgency and frequency in BPS. It's not the wand, it's not trigger points.
And if you don't want to use a wand or can't afford one you can always try using your thumb instead. It works just as well.
Having said all that... here's how to use it... www.jillybond.com/2017/02/14/h...
Note: This video is provided as general advice only and does not replace medical advice or treatment. I would always insist that you seek help from a qualified pelvic health specialist physiotherapist, or if you don't have access to one please at least see your local doctor.

I had chronic UTI's and then it felt like I had interstitial cystitis but when I came back from the urologist with negative cytoscopy (normal bladder walls) I was told I needed a psychiatrist and such. They sent me for PT but I think some exercises made it worse so I stopped. I only figured super recently that I had non relaxing pelvic floor dysfunction that cause ALL my symptoms (fake urge to pee, pelvic pain, extreme constipation, back pain, vulva pain etc.).

Then I started doing resistance stretching exercises and PNF. I started to progress in my recovery again. The hips, thighs, groin and pelvic area started to feel less tight and the level of pain reduced. Now to my question... What are your thoughts on if "one" could implement the resistance exercises with the use of the "pelvic wand"?

hmmm I have a digital watch, LoL...... I'm a male and I've had acute and chronic Prostatitis for 36 years. I read about this wand in the book a headache in my pelvis.. I had a very hard time using it, so uncomfortable and I even used the Jell called Relax Anal Lubricant made by Clean Stream as it has a mild anesthetic in it. I'm actually think of going to my Gastro Dr. and asking him to make my butt bigger so I easily use these tools.. Years of IBS have taken their toll on my butt too. I have the set of stretching guides that start out from small to larger in diameter about an inch, but I've not gotten past the thinnest one and even that was super uncomfortable. I have even taken a pain pill to help with that uncomfortable (to say the least) feeling. It even hurts badly to get a digital exam at the doctors. However you teaching is pretty cool here... I am assuming that 12 0'clock is pointing toward the penis and 6 O'clock is pointing toward the anus, then move the wand from side to side? I know this is youtube and family oriented but would be a big help to see a demonstration, perhaps you could find a medical dummy like they use in doctor training to demonstrate with, and showing it as if the person was by himself, IE, reaching between his own legs, and inserting the wand in the proper positions , etc.... Extending my conversation on 11/14/2018, after 3 turps and one tuna, they have taken out that can be taken out over the years, without ruining my urine track. I have went on to find I also have a tight pelvis and Yoga moves from Doctor Wise's books have helped a lot plus I found a physical therapist on KZbin that demonstrates these yoga exercises from Dr. Wise's book, A Head Ache in the Pelvis. I also take two different kind of mussel relaxers. I also have IBS so the wand hurts to bad to use.. Most urologists say they have never seen Prostatitis that also the patient didn't have bowel problems, I started out with diarrhea and over the years has transformed into constipation. I also have interstitial cystitis I got about 10 years into the disease. I also take meds for that and antibiotics. No matter how you slice it, this is one nasty disease if you have it bad enough. I first got it in late 70's at a young age, and I'm now 65 still fighting with this horrid disease.

I have interstitial cystitis, for 20 years!!! A few years ago an ND friend had some sort of laser/ wand that helped with the pain. He didn’t insert it!! I think this is something else?? I live in America. Help!!

[@victoriahurlburt5987]

Hi Lisa I have Interstitial Cystitis too. It’s the worst. I got diagnosed in 1996. I’m in pain daily along with a bunch of other symptoms. I’ve tried so many treatments, I am in PFPT again so I’ll see.

I live in SW Ohio. Take care

Hi Jilly, I have had chronic testicular pain for over 15 years. Also I have incontinence a little bit. Is it possible that the pelvic floor is the cause of my problem?

[@tetetetfdgd]

YES

[@THEORYLOOPS]

I had a hemorrhoidectomy. Never fully recovered anus is still very tight. I’m a body builder. Can’t go to the gym for even 3 30 minute sessions a week. Gets so tight that it’s hard to have bowel movement. I’m not constipated I’ve tried everything but this. Do you think I may have ani Levator syndrome? If so could this help me? I’m so desperate to get back in the gym and have my life back. I’ve lost so much weight and haven’t had a dating life in over a year because of how much this has wrecked my confidence and joy of life.

[@MoCrits]

is this for women only? :D

[@JaguerRhye]

Thanks for the video. I think I have pelvic floor dysfunction which is causing constipation and thin stool. I have worked out a lot in the past and tend to be a pretty stressed person and think my muscles are too tense down there which is causing thin stool. So using this wand might help with this issue?

[@JaguerRhye]

@@mikeassayag8044 ok, thanks

[@sanpat2220]

How are you doing now?

[@momtoallboys]

Can you use coconut oil or grapeseed oil with the therawand?

[@s_1408]

KY jelly

[@abbzeh137]

It looks really difficult to reach and hike the handle... I'm young, flexible and relatively fit and struggle to find a reasonable position to each for perineal massage... I don't understand how adding a long handle would make that any less difficult!!

[@bellateresa2710]

Is there a way to contact u u need to hear my story please I need help

[@fred_fred_fred]

Hi Gina. There is a pretty supportive group at r/PelvicFloor on reddit if you need some feedback, support, advice.

[@adityastyles259]

also put your feet in ground for atleast 30 min or walk on soil for 30 min it will bring back muscles function back to normal and also fasten healing of nerve or inflammation

[@kellified]

Where can I buy Therawand in Canada?

[@victoriahurlburt5987]

I’m in the USA I got mine on Amazon about 4-5 yrs ago. The first one she showed I have and it was $80 US dollars. It’s really good quality and helps. Good luck.

ONE question. Can I release and reach the piriformis muscle through the rectum with this wand? I am male pelvic patient, and I am curious about whether this wand can reach and release the piriformis muscle, which is very deep...

[@professionalphysiotherapya234]

a. Piriformis stretch is so simple and you dont need an equipment. b. Piriformis is a very tiny muscle which is out the pelvic cavity, which is not a pelvic floor muscle. I always tell my patients , piriformis stretch is ONLY for symptom relief,not a permanent solution. once your symptom is relived try not to stretch this often. If your are symptom free, you MUST start strengthening of Piriformis (you dont want to stretch a weak muscle). Piriforis syndrome is caused by weakness/tightness of that muscle, and all tight muscles are weak. Ask your physio for specific strengthening of piriformis muscle. Does this help?

[@irinafreed3828]

But what if you have a tight urethral sphincter? How to relax it if you can’t go between 11 and 1 o’clock? Is there any way? Maybe gentle touch?

[@Broskibrother]

I sit on a lacrosee ball and roll around. Male as well, I was getting sciatic like pain for a while until I started rolling on a lax ball daily between my glutes and lower back and doing some strengthening exercises.

[@jjhone1507]

I cant stand ,need someone s help :(

[@victoriainnerd7020]

Can you not do this with your fingers?. my muscle feel absolutely rock sołid like a wall I thought impossible so let's not bother again I'm in Sweden I ask if there any therapist near me wish me luck

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

victoria Innerd If you have extremely long fingers, possibly. Otherwise, you’re better off buying one of these. It’s much more comfortable and not so tiring on your fingers, hands, and wrists. Plus, there are many areas where your finger couldn’t conventionally reach!

[@Jasmine-mc4ru]

You can. My physio lady had me do it.

[@kt114]

Or can your partner assist with their fingers? That’s what I want to know

[@4Paok4Eptalofos]

How many times per month someone must do therapy with the wand and for how long?

[@rajanabeel5416]

you will end up tearing your muscles dont try this.

[@BrendaStouffer-bd9ww]

Have you heard of PGAD?
