Can you do a video on weightlifting and pelvic floor/ ani levator pain. How do exercises like deadlifts squats, barbell hip thrusts impact pelvic floor?
I exercised wrong for years and was even taught the moves by supposed professionals. Thanks Dr. Bri. People really need to take care of their pelvic floors I wish I would have known more…
I am so happy I found you. I am 83 yrs old with pelvic floor issues and probably prolapse. I have learned so much from your videos and I've tried several regularly. Thank you.
I have a prolapse and diastasis recti and I have been trying to exercise to loose the weight I gained with my fourth baby. I had him 8 months ago. I didn't realize but I have been doing exercises that are probably making things worse. I'm so grateful for these videos that are helping me to learn what's best for my body. I'm hoping these will make it easier for me so I can exercise consistently without hurting afterwards. Thanks so much!
I am glad you found my channel. I encourage you to see a pelvic floor PT for one-on-one support. In the meantime, you can explore my Lift program. It is a wonderful self-paced solution for prolapse relief. You can access the first week for free bit.ly/liftforfree
Prior Navy and still wish to maintain above average fitness. "Leg lifts" the 1st exercise you say NOT to do, were a common practice. As were crunches without any support between the knees. Planks are in the same category. Not enough training on correct performance of these exercises. Now have an umbilical hernia, and am developing a sharp pain in my right ischiocavernosus. I will now greatly modify my workout routines based on this and several other of your videos. THANK YOU!!!
Thanks so much Dr Bri - this is really helpful advice. Since many of your viewers are 'women of a certain age' I just want to mention that crunches can also be dangerous if you have osteoporosis or osteopaenia. Forward flexion can potentially cause compression fractures even without pain. We need to take care, and do our research about this. Thanks again for another clear and encouraging video.
Thank you for the important reminder about the risks of crunches for older women with osteoporosis or osteopenia, Debb - it's crucial to consider bone health when choosing exercises, and we appreciate you sharing this valuable information with our community. ~ Vibrant Support
Thank you Dr Bri! I’ve been to two Physical therapists, trying to get pelvic floor disfunction and IC help. Both have said exactly opposite of one another on what to do and not do. I’m thankful I found you! I will add these safe exercises into my routine!
I've never been able to do the first one because when I drop my legs, my hips pop & it hurts! I'm glad to see the alternatives & get actual real advice on tightening the pelvic floor muscles, instead of just a vague "bring your navel in", or "tighten your core"🙄. Genuinely, thank you! This is extremely useful after having had two kids!
Thanks Dr Bri. I recently have been doing some intense ab workouts and feel like I trigged my pelvic floor disorder and the past week has been no fun. Your tips are gold and I will be following these tips very closely
This is all new to me. I have been super healthy, super strong, and able to birth large babies and go back to work in six weeks with no problems. It was taking care of a large mother and mowing my very hilly yard without a self propelled mower that just tore me up inside my pelvic floor. These exercises are some of my standbys for years, so thank you so much for sharing these mistakes that I am sure I have been making with these! i am so trying to avoid surgery and allow myself to heal, while I stay fit and don't become an invalid!
You're welcome! It's great that you're taking a proactive approach to your pelvic health and trying to avoid surgery. The exercises and information provided can be really helpful in that regard. Remember to listen to your body and work with healthcare professionals like physical therapists who specialize in pelvic health to create a plan that's tailored to your needs. Best of luck on your journey to healing and maintaining your fitness!
I completely agree that double leg lifts, "30/90's", and soooo many "core" exercises are deeply flawed! Thanks for the focus on the pelvic floor, yet even for "abs" - there are NO ABs attached to your legs! Sure, the abs get rock hard trying to keep you from abusing your lumbar spine, but why use already chronically shortened HIP FLEXOR muscles in a fraction of their range of motion to scare your abs into firming? when you could choose actual ab exercises??!? Even for those who can keep their backs down (or put their fists under their butts to achieve that via pelvic angle, double leg lifts are a sub-optimal exercise choice for most people.
This is a SUPER helpful video! I've avoided some of these exercises because they do cause discomfort but also realising that they do effect my pelvic floor...would love to know if there are any other exercises to avoid as well, like a part two? Thanks for sharing this! I find your content to be really assuring, especially talking about things that aren't talked about or explained enough...thank you! 🙂
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful! I have tons of videos on my channel that might be helpful for you. This playlist has some great videos: th-cam.com/play/PLDputRBPsHFTcHQ4dlmSwOrd5xnMS_cpj.html and here's a "prolapse and exercises to avoid" video you might like: th-cam.com/video/p-fyT225jTI/w-d-xo.html
I did double leg lifts about a month and a half ago and have had this pelvic floor pain since then. I just found this video and realized this is the problem. I’m running a marathon in October and hope I am much better and over this as I continue to do your exercises properly. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Do you have a workout program for prolapse? I need both, to work out and strength train my whole body and also strengthen my pelvic floor. I have osteopenia and stage 2 prolapse. 😥
Wow, I had no idea that my abdominal workout were causing my pelvic floor issues. After workout out, I would have quite a bit of aching in my pelvis/pubic area. I gave birth a year ago, and I’m still feeling the effects of the vaginal delivery. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for this information! This is so helpful. Now I understand why I have lower back pain. I am happy now that I will be doing the right way👐🏾🙏🏾
Is this also the case when the pelvic floor is tight? I am sort of diagnosed with tight pelvic floor muscles around the bladder. Thanks in advance! And thanks for all your videos🙏🏻
The information in this video is helpful for pelvic floor tension, for sure! Really, it offers important safety tips for anyone. But I think you might also want to check out these 2 videos, which offer my favorite combo of work, then rest, for people with pelvic floor tightness. Here's a 5 min butt lift: th-cam.com/video/tN-90bY-OWc/w-d-xo.html and a 20 min core workout for people with tight pelvic floors: th-cam.com/video/DleC6Hn0_KU/w-d-xo.html
@@vibrantpelvichealth Hello Doctor. I don't know what kind of pelvic floor all I have is frequent urination and chronic constipation. But I recently discovered that I can not do the tightening of the abdominal muscles. At the beginning of the exercises, all my abdominal muscles became trembling. I did not understand yet what it is. But I noticed that when I inserted my belly and held it in that position for a while, the urgency would disappear. I heard from a friend that the abdominal stretching exercises that I do not know how to do. And hamstring and hind leg stretches might help. I did not notice that he is right and I have a great weakness in these muscles.
Thank you for this video. I have done yoga for years and particularly enjoy the plank as part of a vinyasa flow. I have just had prolapse surgery and am uncertain as to how I should now proceed. I am desperate to go back to yoga and flow but so wary as I am sure my prolonged planks may have contributed to the prolapse. Any advice gratefully received. Thank you
I would recommend working with a local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. In the meantime, you can check our free prolapse guide www.vibrantpelvichealth.com/guide-to-prolapse ~ Leila
Thank you for such a helpful video.. but.. i would suggest u to upload focusing on prolapsed uterus yoga procedures only... i am looking for it needly..... Which also helps for whole body weigh loss too. It would be very helpful ,if u could do that .. thanks a lot..

Great detailed video thanks!!! I can see how I can easily make these modifications for safer movements. I also feel like I can apply these to other exercises as well if I just think of the principals you laid out. Great stuff! Gonna check out your other videos on this now!
This is a great video and I am a big fan! I have prolapse with cystocele. When I go to a public class I use a pessary to make sure I don't over-do. I am fairly strong , (at 70), thanks to your programs and PT. My Question: How much do you think I can depend on the pessary? I don't wear it unless I expect to be exerting myself more than usual.
Some people wear a pessary daily! I think it is really up to you. Everyone is different. You might try wearing it more often to see your comfort in depending on it more. Here is some additional information about pessaries: bit.ly/surgeryalternative
Hi. I think you’re pretty amazing and I need to watch a lot more of you and kind videos. Thank you for your generosity. Do you have any information on the 5 Tibetan rites and our pelvic floor?
Thank you for your sweet comment! I don't have any videos about the 5 Tibetan rites, and I"m not an expert on the subject. However, I once had a yoga teacher who did the 5 Tibetan rites every day and swore by it for her long-lasting health and vitality! I would just encourage you to exhale during transitions between movements... that's one general way to keep your pelvic floor safe.

To avoid both legs up with prolapse should you not do like happy baby and hugs legs to chest etc ?

What is prolapse?
It is a shift in the pelvic organs.
that mean our uterus is loose and went down.
I always hated the double leg drop and thought I was wimpy for not being able to do them! I’m happy not I have a justification to not do them lol
We don’t blame you 🤣 ~ Vibrant Support

If done correctly, yes.
Examples of what NOT to do… THANK YOU!!!!!
I know you have to explain the right and wrong way of doing things I really do but I feel I’m waiting far to long for the exercises to actually begin, also quite a lot of repetition in what you say. Thank you anyway
Education is extremely important to me for the safety of my viewers. I'm sorry it didn't resonate with you. Best wishes!

Well this sucks (not your video). You basically can’t do any core workout with these conditions.
There are so many amazing core options beyond the ones presented in the video. ~Vibrant Support
