This is amazing! With all the Internet searching I have done on bladder prolapse and talking to 2 different OBs and a pelvic floor physical therapist, I haven't seen/heard this information anywhere else. I am failing miserably at these contractions. It's like my brain and these parts can't hear each other.
This was the game changer for me also! I learned the technique in yoga at a workshop in Sweden with one of my favorite teachers @kinoyoga If you practice this with consistency, you will get all of the muscle fibers working and can then progress to the endurance and speed exercises 😊🌸
I have been struggling due to the spinal cord injury since 2016 and I tried a lot to do it in the right way, and this is the first ever I understand how to do it in the right way, so thanks my dear ❤
This is amazing! Before I was always clenching my butt to contract my pelvic floor and thought that was it. Now with this video I can actually know which muscle groups I am contracting! I put my finger on the hole/area which I want to contract and that helps with focus. One question How do I implement these contractions for Vaginismus? And how often should I be doing it?
With vaginismus, you should place more focus on relaxing your pelvic floor. The relaxation exercises on the channel should help with that. Then for the breakdown, instead of doing Kegels, you can do reverse Kegels where breath into your pelvic floor and try to relax the area in question rather than contracting it.
Yes, it can be quite challenging. You can press each area gently with a finger to enhance the mind to muscle connection. This will make it easier and eventually you should be able to contract without needing touch 😊🌸
@TheFlowerEmpowered no this doesn't work for me. The sit bones feels like I'm using my glutes. The other areas feel all the same to me. I'll just continue on like I've been doing them with my PT.
I've watched tons of videos on how to do kegels and different exercises for the pelvic floor and I just don't get it, I watch them over and over and I simply don't understand how to do it! I must be really stupid... it's very frustrating 😟
Have you been to a pelvic floor physiotherapist? I would advise you go to one as they can instruct you in person and can help you to identify and correct the right muscles. People tend to learn in different ways. If you don’t manage to find a video that uses the right cues to help you then a physio of definitely the way to go. Good luck 🍀
Relaxation exercises are your first port of call. Try these consistently for a week or two and let me know if you already see a difference th-cam.com/video/un8YCM9DAkM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=-_FFHSnXAcIEuf_t
Hi. Useful video, but can I ask, for those of us with different anatomy would it be correct to use the “nuts to guts” cue for step 6 - close vaginal opening. ? I find the sequence useful as it’s pinpointing which step is triggering my pelvic pain ( coincidentally step 6 but only with higher than 50% contraction). So it’s giving me something to work with. Thanks
Yes, nuts to guts is the didn’t queue for step 6! Do you think it would be useful to have a male version of this video? Stronger contractions will recruit other muscle groups. To help a little further in narrowing down the muscles that trigger your pelvic pain, you could do step 6 and see which muscles you feel co-contracting. I would focus on strengthening and lengthening that muscle along with its agonist. For example, if you find it’s the adductors that are activating with step six, do some adductor and abductor strengthening and lengthening exercises and hopefully that will address the issue 👍🏻😁🌸
Does this help in vaginal looseness i am just confused with the lot of stuff can i follw this .does it will help me or i have to do squats or any other exercise please suggest me
It’s always best to start with a visit to a pelvic floor physiotherapist. They can assess your pelvic and will confirm if you should be looking doing strengthening or relaxation exercises 😁
I just had a look to see if I could find it. It was a two-part podcast. Part one we talked about prolapse: th-cam.com/video/hIaq_uHll7Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zQY0S2ajb5mOVZIS Part two we focused on pelvic pain… th-cam.com/video/PJA_uKROHcA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=G_iQfiAf4IcF848s 😁
How do women feel when the urine is coming so they don't leak? Where abouts do yous feel the urge when you need to go? I know it's in the abdomen, but do you also feel the urge in the urethral outlet? Do you feel that the urine is moving towards when you urinate from? In men, we feel the urge in the abdomen and the urine can be felt moving to the penis. It is just good to know as overactive bladders and other issues with urinating are much more common in women than in men. Sorry just asking a question - Just good to know to prevent accidents from occurring by urinating on time.
Good question! The sensation of needing to urinate comes from the bladder which contracts (see my video on normal bladder function). When it comes to female urination, when you relax the external urethral sphincter (which you have control over), the nervous system also relaxes the internal urethral sphincter. When the internal sphincter relaxes, females feel the urine coming into the urethra (if they are aware of it). When their is urine leakage, it usually happens unintentionally, so in stress incontinence there is too much intraabdominal pressure which causes the internal sphincter to open letting urine into the urethra which results in leakage (even if it’s only a small amount). With overactive bladder, it’s a little more complicated, but again, if the internal sphincter opens, it will cause leakage. There are lots of tricks to help with overactive bladder type leaks (which I cover on another video) and strengthening the pelvic floor while learning to manage intraabdominal pressure can also help. Make sense?
Hi, Living with vaginismus for 2 years finally we had intercourse last week with the help of a sex therapist. But can I ask you even though we are penetrating I don't get any pleasure from sex but my partner is. I guess it's beacuse I'm not completely out of this fear and tension? We are taking it very slow. How long would it take me te be not conscious about having sex?
It’s quite a complex question. The most important thing is to make sure there is clitoral stimulation before/during stimulation and most women require clitoral stimulation to feel pleasure. It’s the “on-switch” for pleasure. The clitoris is the equivalent of the head of the male penis (where most of their pleasure is created). If you can make yourself orgasm with clitoral stimulation, you are off to a great start 👍🏻

@@TheFlowerEmpowered Thanks for the video, I think a male anatomy specific version would be really helpful.
Great! I will get to work on that. Give me some time as I need to first do the illustrations, then the animations before making the video 😅👍🏻
@@TheFlowerEmpoweredHi, thank you very much for your work, it’s really useful ! I’d be interested by a male version too !!
