I am sitting here with a lump in my throat because I checked all but 1. I know I have IC, and I have been told I have PFD, but it is so validating to know I'm not crazy or being overly sensitive. Thank you so much for posting this!
I checked them all!! I have been in so much pain the last few months. The other day I was sitting on my couch in pain. I was asking the universe to help me find a solution for this pain that's holistic. Then the word yoga came into my head! So I got on TH-cam and did some research and I found you! I started doing your TH-cam videos, within 24 hours my body started to feel better. So far I've done your BEGIN and now I'm on day 2 of your 7 day Kickstart. I'm hooked!!! I see my OBGYN Tuesday to see what's going on inside. I also start with a pelvic floor PT in person and a new counselor in June. Thankyou for what you do!! Its helping me so much just within two weeks. I know I still have a lot of work to do this but now I am determined to follow through. I even had a talk with my body last night and I told her I'm not giving up on her!! I've been sharing your TH-cam videos with every woman I know and even my husband who has always had hip and pelvic issues.
The mind body connection is so real!! Oh and I ordered your book too!! You have a life long follower in me!!! Anyone who reads this, know that you can feel better and keep loving your body through this, it's going to be ok!! Have a blessed day!!
8/10 for the last 12 years. I've had so many tests and procedures at doctors and hospitals and it came to me yesterday after a massage with a new lady when she said how tight my myofacial tissue is. Google led me down the path to tight pelvic floor and this is 100% me. This is like I've found the Holy Grail at last. You have a new subscriber!!! I feel like crying. I hope I can one day get a full night's sleep.
Welcome to my channel!!! Feel free to check my Overcome program and reach out if you have questions.
@@vibrantpelvichealth Thank you!
Is there a link between myofacial tension and pelvic floor dysfunction?
@lumiao1685 If you can physically hold tension in the body in this myofacial tissue than I swear that it's over the pelvic floor muscles too . I cant obviously do the stretches she does on me down there but there must be a way to release it.
The urogynecologist diagnosed me with pelvic floor dysfuction and told me to go to PT and prescribed Tamulsoin.
I've always know something was wrong with my pelvic. This has confirmed to me. Thank you
Omg they all sound like me. I was going to pelvic Therapist in 2019. Had a hysterectomy Dec. 2020 and things actually seem worst. Thank you for this great video.
Me too cant poop its soft too
Thank you for this 🙏🏽it is exactly what I needed to learn and hear today! This gives me the nudge I needed to find a pelvic Physio therapist.
Wishing you the best during your healing journey ❤️
My main symptom is constant 24/7 abdominal pain. Do you have an videos where you talk about that aspect of PFD?
Ugh!! 9/10 for a year and a half now. I’ve been to a urogynecologist and he didn’t properly diagnose me. But I talked to his nurse today and she urged me to go see a pelvic PT. Hoping it helps.
Pelvic floor PT can definitely help ! I wish you the best in your healing journey !
@@vibrantpelvichealth thank you so much! Trying to get the PT place that does this specific type of therapy to call me back. I’m hoping they got the referral. If not, I’ll be making more calls. I’m ready to get past this. The triage nurse I talked to at the UG office told me another woman like me saw results after 6-7 therapy appts and no longer has to wear pads or diapers!! 😲💖 I’m excited!
At age 10, I was galloping on my horse barerback. He threw me, I landed on my tailbone. At 52, i am experiencing all of these symptoms. Thank you very much
You are so welcome !! You can learn more about pelvic floor dysfunction in the dedicated guide below www.vibrantpelvichealth.com/resources ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
This has been so very helpful. I am so glad I found your channel.
Can tight pelvic floor muscles cause bladder pain?
I was shocked. I had no idea that my issues were pelvic floor related. I'm going to a PT and uro/gyno expert.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you, Jeannie! SO MUCH can be connected to the pelvic floor... I wish you all the best.
I have ALL of them except completely emptying my bowels along with the large abdomen.
I remember as a child, walking on top of the monkey bars and fell straight down on a bar. I also had 2 large babies and have the separated muscles with an umbilical hernia.
It sounds like you're dealing with a variety of pelvic and abdominal challenges. It's essential to consult with a healthcare provider, preferably a pelvic health specialist or a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic health. They can assess your specific situation, provide a tailored treatment plan, and guide you through exercises and lifestyle changes that may help alleviate your symptoms and improve your overall pelvic and abdominal health. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
I just about have 3 checks on there. I do have some problems it seems but I am trying to working these. Thanks for sharing this
Why is erectile dysfunction and pelvic pain such a mystery? Why can't they figure out what causes it all of a sudden?
I got so many different symptoms and pains all over my body after varicose vein surgery but no doctor knows why and how to fix any of them especially erectile dysfunction, testicle pain, hip tightness, urinary leakage etc.
So i am supposed to just live like this for the rest of my life??
Pelvic pain and erectile dysfunction can have various causes, and surgery might contribute, but it's crucial to work closely with healthcare professionals for specific investigations and targeted treatments. Seek opinions from specialists like urologists or pelvic floor therapists, and communicate your concerns for a more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. ~Vibrant Support
This is so helpful thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
what would be the difference between this and pudendal neuralgia? and also what if manual manipulations in pelvic floor physical therapy made symptoms worse?
I have heard it can get worse before it gets better with PT
Thanks a lot for this very informative video! I've recently seen a pelvic pt floor therapist here in my country and he confirmed that I have a lot of tightness in that area.. I'm dealing with both constipation and difficulty starting to urinate. Do u have a specific video that talks more about this problem that I can watch? Or maybe can I do a consultation with you? I hope u can help me.
Thank you for asking! I have more videos about how to release pelvic tension here: bit.ly/pelvicpainplaylist Keep working with your physical therapist! They can help you! I also have this program here to help pelvic pain and tension: www.overcomepelvicpain.com
I fell to the ground on a tree root when a tire swing fell.
My tail bone hurt for over a year.
I didn't see a dr about it.
Now I'm having issues.
I'm 47 this happened when i was 11.
I am sorry to hear that !
Hi I've been trying to do the stomach vacuum, do you hold your breath once you've exhaled? I'm not sure I understand the false inhale into the ribs? Many thanks x
Can pelvic floor dysfunction cause weak flow (in young men) or is that likely to be a separate problem, I don't have difficulty starting stream, but the stream is always quite weak and with quite a bit of after-dribble? I have all the other issues too (pelvic pain, tailbone discomfort, urgency, etc).
I also have the exact same problem, but after practising reverse kegels and stretching out my hips and surrounding muscles, I've noticed a huge difference in pee flow. Hope you can also find some relief soon.

With exercises will the pelvic floor pain go away for ever
Found out about pelvic floor relaxation after years of testicle pain, ultrasounds, antibiotics, etc. A PT suggested pelvic floor and it basically cured my testicle pain. I'm curious how pelvic floor could contribute to diarrhea? I know tight pelvic floor and psoas muscles can cause constipation, but do you think it could cause diarrhea? Thank you for your videos.
It's vital to understand that pelvic floor dysfunction can affect various aspects of your health, including bowel function. Dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles may contribute to imbalances in the muscles involved in bowel movements, potentially leading to issues like diarrhea.
Consulting with healthcare professionals, such as a pelvic floor physical therapist or a gastroenterologist, is crucial for a personalized assessment and tailored guidance. They can provide specific insights into your situation and recommend appropriate strategies to address your symptoms.
Remember, everyone's experience is unique, and working closely with healthcare professionals will help ensure you receive the most effective care for your specific needs. ~Vibrant Support
When working out it feels like my pelvic floor area is empty it's a really weird feeling
The first step is awareness! Perhaps doing some breathwork (breathing into the pelvic floor and learning how to identify and relax the area) might be a good starting place. Try day one of my Kegel Camp! th-cam.com/video/ppsIGgnmmT0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for sharing. During the release exercise, should we bear down as well or only breathe into the pelvic floor?
No bearing down.
@@vibrantpelvichealth Thank you!
I have a question, when I am constipated I feel like my vigina hurts and burning when I use the restroom for stool ? Is this a symptom of it ?
I have connective tissue disease and am having moderate prolapse because my muscles are too lax. I looked at you program and it looks like its more for someone with muscles that are too tight. Would you happen to have a suggestion for me. I am going to be having a hysterectomy soon but I feel like this is not gojng to "fix" the problem.
In fact, pelvic floor muscle identification and learning how to release tends to be a really important starting place for almost anyone with pelvic floor dysfunction! You might want to check out my Kegel Camp Day One, it explains a little bit more about this concept: th-cam.com/video/ppsIGgnmmT0/w-d-xo.html Good luck to you! And I do recommend consulting with a pelvic floor physio in your area, if you have access to someone locally
I have most of these symptoms. Unfortunately I drive for a living so I'm always sitting... ugh
I invite you to check my free pelvic floor dysfunction guide. It has a lot of great info. I have one for men and another for women.
bit.ly/3Rgyqgj
If possible, try to stop in a safe spot and get out of your vehicle to stretch. Also make sure to maintain good posture and to NOT hold your breath while driving. I hope this helps !
I have pelvic floor dysfunction, I’ve started doing stretches and am going to stick with it. I need to go back to pt and get note Information. I’m tiered of this, I have a new son and it’s hard to enjoy it when I’m constantly in discomfort and feel as if I have to pee. I have a question, sometimes after my stretches I have a strange feeling in the perineum,anus, lower spine and near the pubic bone. The best way to describe it is the feeling you get when your foot falls asleep you wake it up but try to walk on it to quick and you get that weird feel when you walk. Curious if that means my muscles are starting to understand what I’m trying to do?
YES! Paul, that could absolutely be what's going on. Often, there's some discomfort associated with the muscles starting to lengthen/release and return back to normal. Keep going, and best of luck to you!
@@vibrantpelvichealth thank you so much!
Brilliant info !
Glad you think so!
I just started seeing a pelvic floor PT after 6 years of seeing other PT's for low back pain and SI joint pain with some relief from back pain. I have all the symptoms you just listed except for one. I was wondering if the diaphragm can be involved in this as well? I have problems taking a deep breath. All my pain is on the right side of my pelvis. Is that normal to just have one sided pain? Thank you so much for all your videos!! They help me out a lot and make me feel less crazy!
The diaphragm and pelvic floor muscles work in tandem. So any problem with breathing can affect the pelvic floor. I encourage you to retrain yourself to breathe properly. Your PT can help help you with your posture and see if there is any muscle imbalance. Good luck !
@@vibrantpelvichealth Yes, she is now sending me to a postural restoration PT. I have lots of imbalances. Thanks for the luck I will need it!!
All my symptoms are on my left, even left leg I got so much scans and test done and they want me to start pelvic floor therapy now. I even have yeast like symptoms only on my left side. Now are you doing did it help short term or long term for you?
Do you recommend any medications along with therapy
I am sorry we don’t provide medical advice. That would be a question for your healthcare provider ~ Leila
Its sad that you know what can help us, but our government wont allow it. @vibrantpelvichealth
My problem is not being able to do #2, I have to take a exlax every night to do number 2, and when I do there are times that I feel that I have not finished. Just recently kinda gotten worse with hemmoroids. I think that had to be due to being layed up in bed, with covid, then a month later had a staph infection on my knee that had me layed up in bed as well. I get some discomfort in my lower tummy, but that will go away when I lay on my excecersise ball or do some type of yoga thing for my back. I have no pee issue, just constipation, and when I go with the help of exlax, feeling not quite empty. Now small hemmoroids, ugh ugh, which causes tiredness 😩
Please try calm. It's magnesium citrate by natural vitality
It has changed my life
Good lord! I scored a 7 out of 10. I’ve had some of these issues my entire life. My PCP nor my Urologist never brought this up as a possible cause of some of my problems.
I hope to get in with a pelvic floor PT in the next couple of weeks.
I hope you find a great local pelvic floor PT. In the meantime, feel free to explore our videos and website. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
I have a bad feeling down there 👇, it’s like my muscles r contracting all the time, even in my inner legs. Why? How can I get rid of this???????
I have my evaluation for a pt on the 25th I’ve been surcharging all I’ve TH-cam so I know what to expect thank you you’re video was so useful
Good luck !!
How can I cure this, my muscles keep contracting and I don’t know what to do?
hello, I had 2 hemmrohids surgery and had problems with that since young age. now I have uncomfortable feeling after bowel movments that lasts hours. I been to several doctors and some said it's a shallow fissure and some said it's inflammation. they just gave me creams and told me to do a sit bath.
they said surgery is not an option as the fissure is not deep.
for then it's nothing but it does bother me.
by the way I am a male.
do you think my problem might be due to tight pelvic floor muscles?
I wish I would have found you before my prolapse got bad. Do you have any exercises for someone that is just starting to have signs of prolapse? Something my daughter could start now to avoid what I am going thru. Some type of pelvic floor strengthening exercises.
I recommend visiting a local pelvic PT for one-on-one support. In the meantime, check my free prolapse guide bit.ly/prolapseguide and my Lift program for prolapse relief. You can get the first week for free bit.ly/liftforfree
Could a slipped disc in Lower back cause this ? Iv had back problems for 10+ years and was diagnosed with bulging disc few months back but never had any therapy in all these years
It is possible. I encourage you to see a pelvic floor PT for an assessment.
Does pelvic floor return once you treat it? I’m concerned that pelvic floor will never be the same again after having pelvic floor dysfunction. I’m a weightlifter and would like to return lifting weights once this hell is over.
With proper treatment, including exercises and physical therapy, many see significant improvement in pelvic floor function. The extent of recovery varies, and it's crucial to work with healthcare professionals for personalized guidance. Returning to activities like weightlifting might be possible with modifications, but communication with your healthcare team is key. Be patient and consistent with your treatment plan, as improvements take time. ~Vibrant Support
can pelvic floor dysfunction cause atrophy or loss weigt?
me I remember I I slide maybe now I back is pain near in hips
I've been dealing with this for over year. It took me up till a month or 2 ago know for sure it's pelvic floor. My question is just the last couple months it really started to effect my running and this last month I can't run anymore. It's more due to the constipation it is causing and stiffness in my hips. I feel like I lost all my power if that makes any sense??? My shoulders started hurting when this started happening as well. Will I ever be able to run again? My whole life is built around it. Do you have anything for shoulders as well? My right shoulder I can barely do anything with it and it's starting to affect my chest and neck. Also I didn't realize your not that far from me...not conveniently close but I would drive to your location at least once a month if it was possible 😅
I am also an avid runner and thought that I would never be able to run again. There's also alot of misinformation out there that "running is bad" for this condition. I don't believe in any diagnosis that says you cannot return to the things you love to do; although you will have to temporarily dose back until your pelvic floor can handle the regular stress of impacts. I think that I stopped running for three months initially, and it was mostly due to fear that it helped caused my Pelvic Floor dysfunction and would my symptoms worse. But I found that adding it slowly back into my therapy improved my condition and helps with reducing symptoms. The runner's high is definitely a real things and helps down regulate the sympathetic nervous system. Now I limit my running to three times a week and spend two days with low-impact exercise videos. I follow this site's stretches daily. I did them twice a day for a year and now spend a good 20 minutes every day with a solid stretching routine. I also make it a point to use a trigger roller and roll out all my muscles after each run. This is a necessity if you want to add running back into your life!
@@CP-so4hg thank you for this...🙏 I hate to admit I haven't foam rolled in a very long time and will be adding it back to my regime.
Hello , is this the female version of pelvic dysfunction program ?
Yes, it is. You can grab the first of the program for free bit.ly/femtension
My son is only 12 & has a lot of peeing issues going constantly feeling like he can't get it all out & getting up at night it's really hard on him & us we literally can't go anywhere without him having to go pee constantly & he's also been having a lot of back pain is it possible he could have pelvic floor issues
It can be caused by emotional or physical stress or other issues. I recommend talking to his healthcare provide to get to the root cause of the problem ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
Is pfd curable?
Things can get better with proper care!
