I made error in my question, I meant to say what’s the best exercise to perform when you cannot stand up from a seated position? Because I problems standing up I need to hold on to a chair to brace myself. Thanks Del
3 days of doing these stretches and my back and hips are free for the first time in years!!! What's interesting is I was doing yoga poses that were close to the same as these, but the subtle difference like having your arms inside but hands on the outside feet.
Thanks for the great content. How often should we do these exercises? Also, at what time of the day and lastly, which Pelvic issues do they fix? Thanks
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this benefit, but since doing these exercises and also your tennis ball release technique, my ejaculations have increased in amount significantly.
Great stretches! I need to add the Cobra to my routine. I think the muscles on the front of the thigh are mainly knee extensors, though a small part of quadriceps femoris does act as hip flexor. The muscle complex you address here I believe is the iliopsoas deep in the abdomen. (Maybe someone already pointed this out, I didn't check all the comments.) I also feel a good stretch through my adductors. Thanks for the good work, us guys need a friend like you. Keep going!

I offer online coaching if you need some 1-on-1 help with a personalized pelvic floor stretching program, diet modification and bladder emptying techniques to decrease your BPH symptoms 💪 drericleckie.thinkific.com/pages/1on1-coaching
Thanks so much, Dr. Eric, for showin me some stretches that are EZPZ for us that are exercises challenged due to neck and lower back surgery. I tell myself I can do this, and I got this🙂
I`m watching from Kigali, Rwanda. Due to a longtime pelvic floor problem, my life became worse for all my life... Hopefully i will get some info from your videos...
Thanks for this. Struggling to empty bladder and have weak urine flow, but other exercise tutorials seemingly aim to tighten the muscles there, which would probably accentuate my issue. Hope these alleviate the problem a bit.
I got a really bad flare up from some stressful circumstances that where piled on recently. Last time I suffered from this was almost 7 years ago. I don't recall how it went away the first time😒 I'm now going on 3 weeks. How long do you think it would take to clear up again with these exercises? I've been watching so many videos. Thank you!
Step 1: stop the rabbit hole approach a.k.a stop watching videos as it makes the problem worse Step 2: try to manage your stress with meditation, breath work, exercise, Step 3: do these stretches daily (if tolerated) and give it some time. I hope this helps
I am going through pelvic floor pain from pudendal neuralgia, coming up on 2 years now and it's brought my life to a stand still and a dark place. I also have spondylosis and many exercises for pelvic floor problems create added lower back pain. I am in a limbo, because the exercises that target the pelvic floor, aggravate my lower back. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Lo q tienes que ser es comerte dos años en ayuna por 14 días y también unas cápsula que se llaman saw palmetto eso es buenísimo para ese problema y también tienes q tomar té de cúrcuma en súper mercado venden de eso y te lo tomas siempre y verás q te vas a recuperar de eso primero Dios 🙏
I have a hip prosthesis. How can I work the pelvic floor? Many of the exercises require me to do movements that were forbidden to me. Do you have any patients like this?
I had a hip labral tear almost two years ago and it has never been the same since, doing that hip flexor lunge is really difficult for me now. I can do it, but can't go very far at all before it hurts pretty bad.
So i am having some trouble starting urination while standing (i am a man) and i found out i might be suffering from hypertonic pelvic floor muscles due to my excessive sitting habbit and i've seen a bunch of kegel exercise videos which aim to STRENGHTEN the muscles which i correctly assumed that they would only worsen the situation i will try these exercises and update if anything changed (also i got my prostate and urethra checked and all is good) i would also like to know if running might help
You are spot on. Strengthening an already hypertonic pelvic floor won't do yo much good (in most cases). If it were me, I would try the stretches and focus on pelvic floor relaxation. I have a few never pelvic floor stretching videos if you check out my channel
If you're not experiencing a decrease in flow, pelvic pain, ED, or incomplete emptying (yes, factoring in enlarged prostate) there is little function or impact. These exercises and strategies are specific to the symptoms you experience (the list above). If you don't have any of those symptoms, adding in a few stretching and mobility sessions per week will help with your flexibility. I hope this helps!
I have now a "lazy" bladder, meaning that, since my heart surgery six months ago and eight hours of anesthesia, I seem to be unable to urinate without the help of an indwelling Catheter which I despise. Is there a slight chance that these exercises would help someone like me? I guess I don't have overactive bladder, more like an underactive bladder. I do get the "urge" to go, would this be something I can be optimistic about? Please respond, as I have been so terribly depressed over my situation.
Thanks for the comment, when you refer to pelvic floor exercises do you mean kegels to strengthen them? or pelvic floor stretches to loosen then? Kegels can possible tighten everything up making defecation a bit more difficult. Relaxation and stretching can help you relieve this
I don't know your situation and surgical restrictions and can't give you specific medical advice through the comments section. Call your nurse or surgeons office and ask them directly to be safe
Your abdominals (core) share an attachment site on your pelvis with your pelvic floor muscles. When you sit down for the majority of the day these muscles can become very tight. The idea with this video is to stretch all the muscles surrounding the pelvic floor, that and most of us don’t stretch enough. I hope this helps
That's a tricky one to answer but I actually made a video on this a while back that explains it for you here: ua-cam.com/video/46gUveizNcQ/v-deo.htmlsi=z5K5_t-CmUHOe2tw

There is nothing more important than health. In order to be healthy, it is necessary to do these movements and eat healthy. Thanks.
I feel better with the 3 exercises. Thanks, Dr.Leckie. Go on your clip production. So helpful.
Fantastic! Thanks for the comment :)

Havn't gone to a doctor, but i seem to have all the symptomes of a tight pelvic floor. I'm gonna try these everyday. Thanks Dr.
Can't hurt to give them a try. Let me know how they help
These look so simple yet are so effective. I’m looking forward to carrying these out for the rest of my life. Thanks Dr Leckie DPT.
Thanks Peter, let me know how everything goes!
@@DrEricLeckie Will do Eric. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the great content.
How often should we do these exercises?
Also, at what time of the day and lastly, which Pelvic issues do they fix?
Thanks
You’re welcome. I do mine twice per day (morning and night) and I find they help with pelvic floor tightness (a.k.a hypertonicity)
Thanks doc , you’re awesome
Thank you for providing the easier versions of these stretches. It is very helpful.
You’re welcome, I’m glad you enjoyed
I'm doing ALL of these next time I go to the grocery store. Right there in aisle G.
Thanks, Dr Eric. These feel good and make sense. As a BHP sufferer, I'd say 'Anything rather than Tamsulosin again!'
You’re welcome! Try them out and let me know how you go💪
No kidding on those kinds of meds, the side effects are off the chain. I did up with turp surgery 😳
Thank you for this informative upload. Your knowledge and experience is very much appreciated. Keep informing the people...
Thank Byron, I appreciate the kind words
I’ve not gone to a doctor but I seem to have the symptoms for pelvic floor issues so I’m going to give these a try, thank you
You're welcome, I hope they help. Definitely see your doc if the issues persist.
How is it so far mate?
Not sure if anyone else has experienced this benefit, but since doing these exercises and also your tennis ball release technique, my ejaculations have increased in amount significantly.
Thank you for sharing, keep up the great work!

I exercise in the thumbnail position at night when everyone else is asleep.

Are these also effective for prostatitis and enlarged prostate?
I have BPH. My urologist has recommended physical therapy to stretch/relax pelvic floor muscles. This is what I need to be looking into, I guess.

@@resthydomingo5805 I think they're having some impact, but you do need to keep up with them.

Why these exercises, specifically? What are the target muscles and why would this help the pelvic floor?

I like your positive attitude. Best of luck to you!

What is the function and impact of this training for our body?
If you're not experiencing a decrease in flow, pelvic pain, ED, or incomplete emptying (yes, factoring in enlarged prostate) there is little function or impact.

If you don't have any of those symptoms, adding in a few stretching and mobility sessions per week will help with your flexibility. I hope this helps!
Hi, Eric
How much time for each exercise every day would you recommend?
Thanks sir. Very good
Excelente! Gracias!!! 👏👏👏
I did exaggerated kagel exercises and I was in a lot of pain....what are the correct stretches to relieve this pain?
The last exercise is hard on my knees (have issues with them). Is there an alternate exercise that would work the same muscles? Thank you. 😊
you could try putting a cushion or make on the sofa or bed.
Hey Glenn, thanks for the comment. If it's painful for your knee's, try doing the stretch on your bed or place a pillow under your knees.
Kneeling on a yoga block may help too.
I have started seeing the result, after this exercise. I just want to know how many times do we have to do??
I have now a "lazy" bladder, meaning that, since my heart surgery six months ago and eight hours of anesthesia, I seem to be unable to urinate without the help of an indwelling Catheter which I despise. Is there a slight chance that these exercises would help someone like me? I guess I don't have overactive bladder, more like an underactive bladder.

Thanks a lot doc, I suffer from premature ejaculation, but when i do pelvic floor exercises, my stool passing becomes difficult, please answer!

@@DrEricLeckie I want to stop my premature ejaculation without stool passing becoming hard, can you suggest something please?
I did these, get pain of it in groin, not bad but feel it good.
Thanks for sharing! Go slow with the stretches, you shouldn't feel any pain, just gentle pulling. Increase the intensity as your body adapts to it

Amazing!

Explain why the cobra helps pelvic tightness!
Your abdominals (core) share an attachment site on your pelvis with your pelvic floor muscles. When you sit down for the majority of the day these muscles can become very tight. The idea with this video is to stretch all the muscles surrounding the pelvic floor, that and most of us don’t stretch enough. I hope this helps
Thank you for response.
I have constant constipation plus spinal sacral disk herniation.
So that baby pose cannot do.
But I will work on cobra.
Thank you for me it is helpfully
Glad to hear that!

thanks
Do I have to light a candle and create a romantic atmosphere before doing the stretches?
Yes, that’s the secret haha! 🕯️
This fantastic
Thank you!
So how do you know if your pelvic floor is weak and needs strengthening or tight and needs stretching?
OMG the hero image lmao
Thank you men❤
