Release Your Pelvic Floor - Exercises for Tight Muscles

[@ShirleyGanske]

I started pelvic floor therapy as my new years resolution. Yesterday I told my daughter, Everybody needs to know and practice these tips. It has made me feel 20 years younger all over and the other parts are working much better after 90 days.

If you have a job where you use your voice, whether actor, singer or any other type of public speaker, you want a relaxed pelvic floor. It allows for deeper breathing and a fuller release of the voice.

[@hey_thatsmyname]

Im a woman and stopped being able to release my pelvic floor muscles around age 30. I stopped being able to fully empty my bladder and just felt constantly on edge. My GI doctor decided to send me to a PT for "bio feedback" to see if it would help with my constipation problems and it was life changing. She showed me that my muscles werent releasing on command and explained a LOT about how far reaching my pelvic floor issues were. I use a pelvic wand (probably NOT what youre thinking of!) once a week or 2 now when the tension build ups and wont let go. Its basically a hard silicone that you do pressure point therapy with. I insert it, push into the side of my v canal and hold it there for a few minutes before changing locations. I can feel the relaxation melt over my body instantly, its insane. Ill empty my bladder beforehand, but after im finished, ive usually got another quarter cup that comes out bc im relaxed enough that it isnt blocked.

Now after managing my anxiety MUCH better and attending to these and surrounding muscles, 4 years later. my whole body is much happier. I'm so happy to see content like this now. I only found one before, and he wanted people to pay him for the full treatment plan. and I'm like "dude, you've felt this pain and you have the gaul to charge people for it?"

Congratulations dude! Hopefully I recover soon. I have been diagnosed with severe prostatitis, vesculitis and pelvic congestion. It is a lot to take in. It is been 4 years now and the symptoms are the same, penis pain, rectal and pelvic pain.

Around October last year my other half got diagnosed with breast cancer, I am very strong minded but my body took the burden. I got a random groin injury through football which was a similar time to some symptoms I developed such as non completion of going to the loo, lower abdomen pain, prostate issues, the list goes on. It turns our after a few months and many scans, I had a physio appointment with a pelvic specialist whom gave me a rear examination (similar to prostate but more scrutinising, to find three mussles with severe tension and pain, along with the fact I was not breathing properly at all, in fact my right abdomen was rock solid, whilst my left side was really soft too. I had to learn to breath again with relaxation, to release the areas this channel host speaks about. Some days are easy some days are hard, but alot of my symptoms have gone now, I still cannot plat football or run etc. yet I have to reset, it is frustrating but you have to pay attention to your body as much as possible. I didnt think my tension was there, I just carried it all and it was my body protecting me from going insane emotionally during a tough time, quite amazing really but I am progressing and I know I can be back soon to normal. I hope this helps others who may have had similar. My football injury turned out to be the fact the area was damaged from stress and caused a ripple effect in multiple areas.

About a year ago I started to suffer from sexual dysfunction. As a man in his early thirties, this is a major issue. What I didn't understand was the tension which can exist in every region of the body, even the pelvis. I'm basically 98% over the worst party of I after a year of research and trial and error. What worked for me was learning to release tension or to relax. Weak muscles are tired muscles and they need that r&r just like every other part of the body. Strengthening, mobilizing, and releasing is the formula I've found to be an absolute God send and builds so much resilience. It also led me to manage my stress levels almost like a metric for emotions

I hope you see this comment. I have learned MORE in the first 4:04 from you speaking than I have going to my urologist, physiotherapist ( pelvic floor ) combined. I actually learned the REASONS WHY I have a hypertonic pelvic floor ( pelvic floor dysfunction ) I’ve been told that my pelvic floor muscles are SHORT -TIGHT and just tensed up. I’m a 44 year old man and this is debilitating. It went away for some time but came back with a VENGEANCE this time. It is extremely difficult to urinate and now it’s causing so much pain that I’m having issues in the bedroom with my wife. She’s a sweetheart and says she can’t tell ( but I know she’s being nice ) I can completely notice a lack of blood flow to “that area” I do have IBS as well. This actually stresses me out to the max, due to the fact that there isn’t a quick fix. It’s a laundry list of things to manager and take care of. I need to correct my posture, diet ( to better manage my IBS ) I need to somehow figure out my breathing ( and how to actually breathe properly. It just seems like a lot. I hope I can learn all of this and learn how to relax those muscles BUT ALSO eventually learn how to build them up as well. Great video !!! Sorry for long post

My hips and lower back tightened up once I started doing Karate at age 49 so I had to learn all these techniques to undo that sitting damage and then that led me to pelvic floor relaxing. the "baby hold" can help with both. Thats where you lie on your back, raise your legs knees bent at 90 degrees, grab your feet like a baby and roll your hips gently... just like you see babies do in the crib. If you can extend your legs while grabbing your feet you can also get some hamstring stretches in. Feel free to correct me if I'm doing something wrong but no name calling please.

Hello, I have been facing severe testicular pain going on a few weeks. I just got out of the hospital last night and they did not have a diagnosis or know what was causing the pain.

I refuse to believe nothing is seriously wrong but they insist everything is “normal”. I will try these exercises gradually over the next few days, but just trying to move at all causes severe pain. If these don’t help I will have to go back to hospital because pain is too severe. Or do you have any advice for testing I can request at hospital? Thanks for any advice 🙏

Hey Yoga. Since October 2022, I've had what feels like a pinched nerve somewhere. I live in Canada and I've been waiting almost two whole years for some answers but sadly, nothing. I've tried everything from Gabapentin, Amitriptyline, and other medication, to having doctors to physicals. All inconclusive. I've tried all these exercises and stretches for my pelvis (or what feels like my pelvis), but nothing. The pain started happening after a workout session. I was deadlifting and from what I can remember, I was hyperextending badly. I stretch before and after every workout, but when I got home and sat down, there was this radiating pain in my manly region (the right gumball). This pain after some months went away, but it came back in my pelvis, and now I deal with both the gumball pain and the pelvis pain/discomfort. I've been referred to physio, but it's hard to find a place that fits in my schedule with work. I guess what I'm wondering is, what does it sound like? Pinched pudendal nerve, tight pelvic floor, psoas muscles, sciatic nerve (though it doesn't go down my legs at all).

Hello! Thank you so much! My wife did for me a colon cleaning but I was super tense and tight, and inserting it behind there was super hard. Since that day I’ve developed constant need to pee, at first only burning urethra but now it’s gone, I still need to pee all day. Trying PT now , hopefully will go away. Is that possible? Like could this be the reason ?

[@YOGABODY.Official]

It's possible that the tension and the procedure could have affected your pelvic floor muscles, leading to urinary symptoms. Physical therapy can be very effective for addressing such issues by helping relax and strengthen the pelvic floor. Keep up with the PT, and it might be beneficial to discuss these symptoms with a healthcare provider as well, to ensure a comprehensive approach to your treatment. - YOGABODY Team

Pelvic floor releases can help but focus on stabilizing your pelvis. Check with a pelvic health physiotherapist for safe guidance. -YOGABODY Team

Do you have any tips for a vaginal prolapse. I have been diligently doing strengthening exercises for over a year now and feel like I’m fighting a losing battle.

[@marydabrowski5127]

You mentioned that you can overdo this technique, so how many times a week can you do this? Thank you.

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Perform pelvic floor exercises 3 to 4 times a week to avoid overdoing it, ensuring adequate rest and recovery between sessions. Adjust frequency based on individual needs and guidance from a healthcare professional. - YOGABODY Team

[@zonuts]

Is there a way to vary the first exercise so that I don't have to get onto the floor to achieve the same outcome? Due to chronic injury reasons, I can only do chair yoga, and if I have to get on the floor, it's a struggle for me get upright again without assistance.

[@hendogmoto9957]

My back goes out on me regularly; so I do the first exercise on the bed, with my feet on the headboard. Then I can roll off the bed with ease. Lol. Hopefully this'll help you a little.

I have pelvic floor tension since 2019 and I cant even pee without muscle relaxtant tablets. It came from no where and has ruined my life. Til this day I havent succeeded to find anything that helps me to overcome this issue.

[@NEChristo]

Try looking up Pain Free You on YT I have had the same issue with severe pain and I am slowly coming out of it

[@hamzak2231]

Which muscle relaxants you use bro

[@Ahuromazda]

@@hamzak2231 tamsulosin 400 micrograms every night around 7-8 pm so i dobt have to pee 10x per night. Been taking it for 4 years. When its really bad I take 2 but not more cause it lower the blood pressure too much and u feel very tired in the morning. Also u can use ice pack on the area when its real bad. Avoid coffee, carbonated drinks and drink plenty water every day otherwise the tension can cause constipation. Finally, try to stretch your legs and inner tighs and the whole area every day.

I really like the way you teach but I was disappointed when I saw the poses. Unfortunately, I can't do them because of my hemorrhoids. So many people with pelvic floor issues do have them. They can be almost debilitating. Will you be teaching on your lessons and how to accommodate hemorrhoids? Sincerely, Susan

[@YOGABODY.Official]

Thank you for sharing your concern, Susan. We'll take your feedback into consideration for future lessons. - YOGABODY Team
