I am so grateful to find you . I just started this unpleasant journey. I started pt 2 weeks ago to relax my pelvic floor and with my specialist and you there is hope At least I know that I am not alone Much thanks
Another relaxation video, just what I needed!! PT is going great and I’m already doing better but still have a lot of work ahead of me! I just have some questions, did you have anxiety about going out for a little while after recovery from PFD? What are some tips to overcome it, or does it fade away in time and with experiences? Thank you, your videos are so helpful :)
Hi Bianca, great to hear that PT is going great for you 😃👏🏻 I had quite a lot of anxiety when I was recovering from PFD. I wasn’t sure I could trust my bladder. I also had apprehension around intimacy. I just took things slowly and practiced a lot of relaxing yoga and yoga nidra meditations. Those helped a lot. Keeping stress levels and learning to relax made a huge difference.
Thank you so much, I just wanted to make sure it’s not just me! I get nervous going in the car and going out places and the nervousness makes me think more about my bladder, which makes symptoms more severe! It’s wonderful to know that the anxiety will get better if I keep taking it slow :)
This was so helpful did the full video and i feel so relaxed!! I have endometriosis and as a result suffer from pelvic floor problems and this really did help relieve some tension. Thank you so much!! Is ther any other exercises you recommend specifically for relaxing the pelvic foor
Hi Maryam, so glad you found it helpful 😊 You could also try this one if you haven’t already: th-cam.com/video/2yx0_PK0Q-4/w-d-xo.html I’ll me making more in the weeks ahead 👍🏻
thanks a lot for providing this practise. unfortunately i didn't really feel better, so i tried that sitting-on-a-ball thing again from one of your other videos, that seems to have helped a little bit at least :)
There are lots of different relaxation videos, but they won’t all work equally well as the relief depends very much on where then tension is in your specific body. You will likely find 4 or 5 poses that work really well for you and should practice those 5 or 6 days pee week for maximum effect. Hope that helps 😊🌸
Hi there, thanks so much for your videos, they’ve really helped me after birth. I’m not clear if I should do any kegels at all now. I did right after birth but then everything got so tight I realised I needed to release. What’s the balance with maintaining or increase strength with releasing tightness?
When it comes to pelvic floor exercises (or any others), I always like to ask "why" before I do them. For maintenance, you should approach with that same question. You don't need to spend your life endlessly doing kegels. Add strengthening kegels if you have any urinary leakage or lack of sensation during sex, or do a few every now and then to ensure you can still contract quickly or hold an endurance kegel. Add relaxation exercises if you are experiencing pain or tension. If everything feels good and normal with your pelvic function, there really isn't a need to add either. It does make sense to stay active, and the respond to what your body tells you. Make sense?
Yes, we have a full playlist of videos that help with pelvic floor relaxation. These are mostly yin yoga techniques that can help to release hypertonicity in the pelvic floor which can have a really positive effect for those with vaginismus.
Any of the pelvic floor relaxation videos can help with relaxing the pelvic floor which can be of benefit if you are suffering from hesitancy. Full playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLTrM-0Yl3Pcs-vpFq9mYzeDyIXDaittaq.html you will likely find some exercises work better for your specific body than others so try a few videos. Yoga nidra can also be very helpful as it teaches you to relax by doing a meditative body scan relaxing as you go. You can find the yoga nidra with this link: th-cam.com/video/58BnvjSc3ck/w-d-xo.html Let me know if that helps 😊
If you haven’t yet, go visit your doctor to rule out other things, like an enlarged prostate, if you haven’t yet. Some of those things don’t necessarily cause pain. These exercises won’t hurt though
Hello! What do you think about strebgth training with pelvic problems? I have been going to gym, but now i am having symptoms. I think it might be my body did not like the deadlifts maybe. Maybe pudendal nerwe is acting out now, because of that. But i did/do like that strength training…
What’s important when it comes to the pelvic floor is managing the balance of tension throughout the body. Strength training is brilliant, but it can trigger symptoms of pelvic tension, and it can also contribute to some stress incontinence if the person doesn’t have good management of intraabdominal pressure. I currently lift weight six times per week and practice yoga twice per week. This seems to be the sweet spot for me to maintain/improve my muscle mass while maintaining good flexibility. Very important to listen to your body and make some adjustments to your training when you experience pain and symptoms. That doesn’t mean that you will need to forever stop deadlifts for example but you could try a deload or work with a physio to identify potential imbalances in strength/tension in the body, and gradually work you way back to being able to perform the deadlifts. Make sense?
@@TheFlowerEmpowered Thank you so much. I believe that has happened to me, triggered symptoms. No pain, but other. I am working with PFT (But i don´t know, does PFT´s have all the newer knowledge in here, that you have) and with ostheopath. My symptoms were allmost gone for many months, but now came back after 9 months of training. :(
Yes, this should also help with low back pain related to pelvic tension. It’s important that you listen to your body in each pose. You shouldn’t feel pain and you should move slowly with no pushing or pulling into poses.
Can spinal twists negatively impact Diastasis Recti? I have Scoliosis & 1 Sided Rib Flare + I am an Upper Abs Gripper so that's I want to do Spinal Twists 2ndly if Pelvic muscles aren't Strengthening, then what to do done?
Spinal twists shouldn’t negatively effect diastasis recti but as always, listen to your body. If they make you feel symptomatic, skip them. Are you working with a physio? It’s always best to have in person consultation. Are you doing pelvic floor exercises to strengthen your pelvic floor? Has your PF been assessed?
Thanks so much dear but I have only one question and it goes like this, which physical excercises can a person with a problem of the in the back of soft blanket or layer coz it brings pain in the pelvic upto to the unkle help me""""
Hi just found your channel and subscribed, I really enjoyed this session 😊 How often should I be doing this ? I also have Pundendal Neuralgia, so hoping to relax my Pelvic floor 😊
Hi Vicky, so glad you enjoyed the video! I would say no more than once a day for yin yoga. You could even go once every second day. There are quite a few other pelvic floor relaxation videos on the channel so you can mix it up 😊
Hello there! I am unable to do the last exercise because of spinal problem. I have L4 L5 S1 issue..should i avoid the last exercise? Please enlighten me ❤️
It is impossible for me to say if you should avoid as I have not seen or assessed your spinal range of motion. Your physiotherapist should be able to confirm if your spinal issues prevent you moving into a twist (transverse plane). If you are unable to twist in this way, you could replace this with a side lying position where you lay on your side, pillow under your head so it remains neutral with your spine, blanket between your legs so they remain hip distance apart. Do for 2.5 minutes on each side 👍
You would need to modify some of the poses during pregnancy as there is an increase in the hormone relaxin which makes ligaments a little looser. The knock on effect can be some joint instability if you overstretch. I highly recommend a pregnancy yoga class if you have a local teacher. They can also show you some adaptations if you want to do the poses in this video.
Yes, they are all ok during menstruation, although restorative yoga may feel nicer if you are crampy and uncomfortable. Try this one: th-cam.com/video/v6KseDyy65k/w-d-xo.html
The relaxation videos will go a long way to helping you overcome your chronic pelvic pain. There are quite a few on the channel. I would suggest you try a few and choose the poses that give you most relief and then practice them daily. Let me know if that helps!
With pain conditions, it's good to have a daily relaxation practice. When things start to improve, you can shift to every second day, and eventually just once or twice per week (or as needed). It's important to mix up the movements. You could try practicing the relaxation exercises in the 30 day challenge. Each video in that challenge has a timestamp for relaxation. If you have vaginismus, you should skip the strengthening exercises at the start: th-cam.com/video/5Nev3sRLL2Y/w-d-xo.html You can also go for longer practices. There are quite a few (like this one) that you can alternate. You will find them in the relaxation playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLTrM-0Yl3Pct49Oaepd42Ebyo2qlUC1q_.html Dilation is also a helpful practice: th-cam.com/video/0URhqdW_x-g/w-d-xo.html And yoga nidra body scanning meditation is helpful in finding and releasing tension from the body: th-cam.com/video/58BnvjSc3ck/w-d-xo.html You will also find some advice on the website: theflowerempowered.com/2020/12/17/5-steps-to-overcome-vaginismus/ Let me know if you have more questions 💕🌸
Hi Rabecca, this sequence helps to relax the pelvic floor which can help with first time penetration. There is a new video uploading today to help with pelvic floor relaxation prior to dilation (for vaginismus). That should also help.

Amazing Practice. Thank you so much!!!!
So welcome 😊🌸
This felt amazing! And the explanations of how to perform each movement and why, are so helpful. Thank you 💛
So glad you enjoyed this practice! Thanks for the positive feedback 😊
This is on my to do list to try. I’ve learned some massages to relax the pelvic floor, but always looking to reduce tension systematically.
This one is Yin yoga. It’s really effective for pelvic floor relaxation. Just make sure to listen to your body and don’t push or pull into poses 😊🌸
I’m sooo glad I’ve found your channel!! You are so informative and helpful 💕
Thanks for the kind words 😊🌸💕

Hi 💕💗👋
This was a great video The Flower Empowered....keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Thank you for helping me
20:54 the moment you realize you have no walls left in your home that don't have anything on them or in front of them lol...
I've been there!! 😂
Right? I live in California, so that happens to me on a regular basis.
These videos are so helpful thank you so much!
I’m glad it is helpful Kali, have a lovely day 😊💕
Another great video. You know your stuff and your explanations are really good.
Thank you! So glad you are enjoying it 😊👍🏻
I ended up staying on the legs on the wall for a full half-hour at different levels of spread. My body needed to shake out a LOT of stuck energy
I like to do that sometimes myself. Just make sure to listen to your body as you do it and come out of the pose if it's too intense 😊🌸
