I genuinely hope these ideas help you solve your pelvic floor dysfunction! Please subscribe to support the channel :)
I’m so impressed with you and your videos. I love the way you explain and these are all so incredibly helpful for so many people as we age
Really appreciate it! I just hope they help :)
Im an ultra runner, late 40s, and have recently began to experience some of the symptoms you cover, as well as weak/delayed urine stream. My hip flexors are tighter than bass guitar strings, so i am going to employ your stretches and see if I can't get myself feeling something closer to youthful. Thanks, Nerd!
You're welcome Steve! Hope it helps loosen things up!
Hi Do you think I have a pelvic floor problem? My issues are that I have frequent urination. Sometimes when I urinate my stream is thin or weak and have to strain to get the last drops out or else they get stuck in urethra and leak. Sometimes I leak urine in small drops when I am just sitting or laying down. I have delayed ejaculation . I sometimes get an electric shock twitching sensation in my penis. Before all these symptoms happen I was always sitting down because I am a college student and rarely stood up, just to use the bathroom or eat and shower and normal things. In April I started doing excercise like sit ups and heavy lifting. Until May 20th is when I experienced all the symptoms I previously mentioned.
Hey mate, it's best you consult a pelvic floor Physio or health professional to make sure you get the right assessments and advice for your specific situation!
Pelvic floor dysfunction is very uncomfortable. I’ve had it for thee months now. But physiotherapy has drastically improved the symptoms !
really ?!!!
@@bahaaworld Yes, bad posture habits, excessive sexual activity and spinning and bad urination habits are the cause.
@@bahaaworld depending on the case, it does not resolve on its own !
@@GuggenValaiscan i know ,what are your symptoms? I've been struggling since 2016 , haven't seen a specialist yet
@@bahaaworld pain during urination, dribbling, urination hesitancy, constipation, perineal itching, inability to contract or relax my pelvic floor, incontinency
I have hard flaccid is this the cause ?
You’d have to speak to someone directly mate
Another source of dysfunction is over active fight flight or freeze center. If you have a chronically over active sense if anxiety or fear, this is going to cause your fight flight center located in the perinium, to be overactive. You will feel this like electricity or static affecting and moving your pelvic floor muscles.
Chronic stress may certainly have a meaningful role in the function of these areas.
Will clamp shells also help along with these??
Clam shells are a nice exercise to strengthen those deeper hip external rotators for sure!
Thanks a lot for sharing!
My pleasure!
Very helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Great video.
Hope it helps!
I have the same problem
Hope the video helps mate!
How is it now bro?
First time here
I hope that will works
Hi sir, I have an anterior pelvic tilt. When I walk, people tell me that I walk like a gay, but I am not gay. Can this difficulty in walking occur because of Anterior pelvic tilt? Is this Because my abdominal muscles are weak and tilted hips??
Firstly it’s important to mention that there’s obviously nothing wrong with being gay either way, and that walking a certain way doesn’t infer sexual preference. Mechanically tight hip flexors tend to be one of the most impactful causes of a pelvis that tilts forward dysfunctional.
@@YourWellnessNerd If hip flexors heal then my gait can be fine and masculine
In the first exercise/stretch:
Flexing my butt alone is quite an intense stretch on the hip and quad.
Could this tightness be the reason for my painful ejaculations, and difficulty getting an erection over 75%??
It’s hard to give specific advice over the internet sorry mate. It’s best to do two things - 1. Free up that tightness and see what effects it may have, and 2. Speak to someone in person who can assess you and give you the best advice

I’m diagnosed with hypertonic pelvic floor, sometimes I’ll to a pee think I’m all finished and then out of no where another flor of urine will come out and I have skinny/flat stools. Are these symptoms of tight pelvic floor?
@MrBoldsojah4christ thanks.
My biggest worry was the short flat stools.
how are you now ?
@bahaaworld
Yea much better. Still not “recovered” from time to time if I do something that aggravates the muscles it feels “tight” around the base of penis and surrounding muscles. It’s a weird feeling that doesn’t hurt but is annoying. Fortunately it’s getting better , thinking about it less also helps so to some degree it is psychological
@@BudgetGainsByJJ omg I'm suffering from the same exact feeling at the moment , may i know how were you diagnosed and what is the treatment? I'm panicking, I'm 39, but i had urinary symptoms for almost 9 years , and bowel symptoms incomplete evacuation since 2019 maybe
@bahaaworld
I went to urologist and they kept telling me I’m fine. I then saw business cards on the urologist’s desk and it was a pelvic floor specialist. So I grabbed one and asked for a referral. I went with her and she used this like ultrasound machine that tested how my pelvic floor contracts and releases. She noticed that when mine would contract it would struggle to release. She showed me stretches and did some dry needling which to my surprise helped A LOT.
Just go to a pelvic floor specialist tell them what you think and how you feel don’t let money deter you.
Do you have any other symptoms?
