Release Your Pelvic Floor - Exercises for Tight Muscles

PDF pose chart here: www.yogabody.com/pelvic-floor...
Do you have a chronically tight pelvic floor? Is it affecting you physically - constipation, discomfort, sexual issues - or psychologically with anxiety, restlessness, or tension? If so, this video is for you.
There are 11 different muscles at the base of your pelvis that form your pelvic floor, control your bladder, bowels, and sexual organs. When overly tight, they are referred to as hypertonic, and create problems using the bathroom, stress, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction.
Some people develop this condition in childhood when they might be embarrassed to use the toilet, so intentionally hold in bowel movements for days. Adults in the service industry and drivers in particular, are often unable to use the bathroom for hours at a time, and this behavior can also lead to hypertonic muscles. Injury, infection or issues in this area such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), birth traumas, excessive exercise, excessive pelvic floor strengthening work, and stress can all be factors as well.
In this video I’ll show you some mind-body relaxation techniques that include breathing, stretching, and self-massage which can be very helpful. If you’re new to this work, start slowly and ease your way into it. Also remember that some conditions require medical attention, so if in doubt, always err on the side of caution. Let’s get started!

    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.

    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

    @@bigcatlove5192 I wish there was an easy answer, but to summarize, learning to relax was the biggest game changer. I was so surprised how my emotions affected my pelvic floor. I would say Kegels do change the game especially when paired with some sort of function movement, like squats or glute bridges, but having an effective stretching routine centered on the, hip flexors, glutes and hamstrings worked best for me. I recommend Dr.Bre Grogans YT channel DR.Bre's vibrant pelvic health, this helped me immensely and if you want to check it out I assure you it's a fantastic place to start!

    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.

    Great video, Thanks for the message of hope at the end (I'm in the UK). I find this really debilitating but because it's 'invisible', I have to make up excuses as to why I'm not dating/in a relationship. I recently found a great doctor who I think understands this is a genuine issue I need help with and not female hysteria / a simple case of nerves that can be overcome by being told to "chill out"... Videos like this one are empowering me to discuss this openly with my doctor and not feel shame. Thank you.

    The first exercise (lying on your back, knees over your stomach) - it just works! I recommend to everyone! My case: 37 years old, 120+ kg (265 lbs), sedentary work, sedentary entertainment. A couple of weeks ago I started having lower back pain to the point of being unable to bend. The wife is a former professional athlete in the field of speed climbing. She does various “strange” stretching exercises regularly. She advised me this almost 1 in 1 exercise as shown in the video. After a week the pain went away and I feel much better now! I came across the channel by accident and saw this very exercise! Let's see what else you have :)

    I've been struggling with this for a few years now. I believe it's probably due to too many years of fight training and working as a fight coach. As one PT put it, my body is stuck in fight or flight. I have a theory that this may also be due to very tight QL muscles, which I've had for several years, having learned that the QLs are considered to be part of the pelvic floor. Thank you for this resource, as people here have mentioned, it's difficult to find good content that deals with this issue, especially for men. I look forward to exploring these techniques.

I highly highly recommend seeing one if dealing with pelvic pain, bladder pain, or ibs-C.

    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.

    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).

I notice one thing , when I go to the toilet, I sometimes contract the muscle in the pelvic area and stop the urine flow before the flow of urine leave but this reaction is not vol Of course I talked to my doctor and I'm doing some other investigations. I usually make abdominal and this kind of stuff so I don't know if I went too far. Does this exercise actually help to relax the pelvic floor?

    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. The urologist I briefly spoke to mentioned a possibility of a tight pelvic floor. I’m just wondering if the testicular pain can be a direct indication of a tight pelvic floor? 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 🙏

    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

    Ай бұрын

    Sitting on a towel can be a good way to improve your posture while working at a desk. The towel provides a firmer surface, which can encourage better sitting habits and reduce the tendency to slump. Start with 30 minutes and adjust based on your comfort level. Over time, this can help strengthen your core muscles and improve spinal alignment, making long periods of sitting more comfortable and less taxing on your body. - YOGABODY Team
