This was great, I been tryin to find out about "pills to take to last longer in bed" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Xiyatalie Stamina Stampede - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
I receive pelvic floor physical therapy along with bladder installations, but when I have a flare up (I have I.C.) these pelvic release videos always do the trick! Thank you so much!
I've tried quite a few techniques for doing this. This is by far the best explanation to target what is such an ambiguous muscle group. Thanks for letting these our there!
these videoa are awesome! thank you so much. as a retired RN & also disabled with Ehlers-Danslos Syndrome (connective tissue/collagen production genetic disorder) I have been on the search for some non-stress core builders. & having encountered so many in healthcare community who viewed me as a "wimp" (I didn't look handicapped till my spine collapsed into scoliosis curve with my rib cage resting on my hip) I am thrilled to see a member of the healthcare team not afraid to say the words "pelvic floor" without blushing, losing words, & brushing it away as if it's not an important topic. Trust me, when you hit 60 or sometimes before,when you & all your friends whisper about incontinence issues, you'll understand what valuable teaching all these videos are. Sadly, my illness is considered rare (1/500,000) I know 6 people in my area of 3m people who have clinical signs & suffer symptoms of EDSb which includes early-onset continence problems due to loss of integrity of supportive tissues. Thank you so much for having the courage to say "I knwow my body j this isn't normal" & then doing something about it & sharing it to help others. You are an exceptional person, Dr. Bri!
Sending love to you, Judy! I'm so glad you found my channel and I hope it provides you some support for your needs. YES, I'm all about spreading the word about pelvic health and making it less of a blush-worthy, "taboo" topic. It's a group of muscles, just like the biceps, and we don't blush when talking about our arms! Glad you're on board with my message.
I tried many videos, but this is by far the best one for explaining and GUIDING you in "getting there" for reverse kegels. The visuals fit well with the well-explained and soothing audio.
I am a 45 year old man who has just been diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction. I have been to a pelvic floor physiotherapist. it's very expensive so it's nice that you put this video online. Quick question though. With the Re-verse Kegel.. as I breathe out do lower my floor lower in concert with my breath.
Thank you so much for these instructions on a reverse kegel. My pelvic physical therapist suggested that I do these due to hypertonic PC muscles that were making it hard to graduate to the next size up on vaginal dilators for vaginismus. Your directions helped me so much and I liked the visualizations that went with the video.
this is very good but it would be wonderful if you could do 15 - 20 of just the guided breathing and instruction so I could really just relax and follow along! hope you do one :) I am hoping this might help with my tailbone pain.
Great suggestion, thank you! I'll keep that in mind. You might also benefit from my Pelvic Pain/Tension playlist. You can view it here: ua-cam.com/play/PLDputRBPsHFQJ6PhSXjW54Oi-QoNCqsGL.html
My physical therapists recommended this for me. I learned not only how to properly perform reverse kegels, but also that my inner 13 yr old is still alive and well when she said certain words relating to human anatomy.
Thanks Dr Bri. I'm getting better at these reverse kegels. One thing I did not expect was the chronic pain in my upper rectus abdominal that I've had on and off for years seems to be easing too after these. I wouldn't have thought there would be any effect on them from trying to relax my pelvic floor. Can there be a connection??
Oh, thank you! I was just sharing with another FemFusion friend that I was once told that I sound like a cartoon character, so I tend to be a bit shy about my voice. But perhaps, in time, as I gain confidence I'll put myself out there in more "audible" ways! I'd love to do an audio-book version of my book, "Lady Bits."
I am hoping that the 'reverse kegel' type of relaxation as demonstrated in the video might help relieve pain in tailbone area. It is a very good video!
I hope it's helpful for you! I also recommend seeking an evaluation from a women's health physical therapist if you have access to one in your area. Good luck!
Pelvic tension must be both nature and nurture. My mother, sister, and I all have been chronically lifelong constipated. I suspect there is a genetic factor. I've been an anxious person throughout life. In addition, I suffered from BPH as an aging man, and had laser prostate surgery to ally symptoms of BPH and urine retention. Although the procedure was initially moderately effective, five months post-op I'm back to increasing hesitancy and difficult bowel movements, despite high fiber diet and increased water intake. I feel my plight is at least muscle-tension related...I can feel my sphincters clench. The doctors say..."don't use Kegels!"...the physical therapist demonstrated to me by doing Kegels, my floor relaxes afterward. I'm in a dilemma. Much more emphasis needs to be done on this topic...men are suffering.
Tell me about it. They told me I had prostatitis now they're saying I have hypotonic pelvic floor. Urologist checked my prostate and said my prostate is fine but the muscles around it are really tight!! This condition is very painful!!!😞
@@jack_knife-1478 .....check out the Facebook group "Prostatitis"...a huge source of information on Pelvic Floor Disorder. The seminal book on PFD is "A Headache In The Pelvis," available on Amazon.
@@mwngw yes I ordered that headache in the pelvis doctor wise and it arrived yesterday just not read it yet. I'm really struggling with this condition. How can my pelvic floor cause pain in all these areas😞 9 months its been going on and I really struggling! It's affected my quality of life😞
Wow crazy didn't know it was called BPH but since I started doing kegels as an exercise recommended on a penis enlargement book at the 4th month of doing it I noticed all the symptoms of BPH as I just searched on Google, im stopping it now to see if my urine starts to completely finish.
Might reverse Kegels be helpful in reducing urinary hesitancy in men? Yes, I am generally an anxious person; yes, I have suffered from some shy bladder issues for years. Thanks.
Could we have an episode or a series on male hard flaccid, please? Is it related to pelvic floor dysfunction and pain? They seem to have started exactly at the same time.
This is so so helpful! I find I hold my pelvic floor and my abs a lot. I focused on strengthening so much and didn’t know relaxing was a thing 😅. Anyways, I have a question. I’ve had two children. My recent is almost a year old. No tearing with either but did experience what they call “skid marks”. 🤷♀️ Anyways, I’m finding relaxing is not natural for me and when I do it’s almost like I experience very minute amounts of releasing pain, yet I wouldn’t necessarily call it pain. It just feels like muscles that have never had kinks worked out are now getting kinks worked out. Does that make sense? Is that a thing? I don’t mind it a bit! If I had to describe it feels like getting a knot worked out which feels like a good pain if that makes sense? 😂
Hi there, is it common for women with pelvic floor dysfunction to have pain near the kidney as well? My doctor doesn't think i have a kidney infection but this flank and abdominal pain is worrisome for me. It's only on one side just below my ribs. I've had bladder issues similar to a uti ongoing for over 2 months.
Go to another doctor. Getting a second opinion is always recommended, maybe a 3rd and 4th opinion. There should never be pain. Find one that listens, keep researching until you figure it out.
I had to learn to do this after my daughter was born and the csection scar caused a super tight pelvic floor. It got so tight it tore my hip labrum! PT suggested I read a book that talked about doing these and amazingly enough I instinctively did it. I call them reverse elevators but same thing. Question, would videos on your channel which are safe for prolapse and such be safe for people prone to tight pelvic floors?
Hi Emma, great question. Most videos will be safe as long as you really tune into your body and STOP if any of the moves feel like they're over-activating your issues or aggravating your pain. Buffer in an extra 5-10 minutes after the video to completely release/relax after doing anything that involves core strengthening (even if it's prolapse-safe). However, if pelvic floor tension is your primary concern then I recommend sticking with the following playlist initially: ua-cam.com/play/PLDputRBPsHFQJ6PhSXjW54Oi-QoNCqsGL.html You might benefit from the "starter moves for tight pelvic floor, weak core" video which is on the playlist. Also stay tuned to my channel (be sure to subscribe) as I'll be posting more yoga-focused videos later this summer and into the Fall. All my best to you!
A year later and I thought I’d watch this as a refresher - exciting to realise I seem to have gotten the hang of it with time! I’ve heard some physiotherapists recommend releasing on the exhale instead of the inhale, but like you described in the video it feels more natural to me to release/drop on the inhale as my belly expands. Is this still the best way to continue with this exercise? I have endometriosis and pelvic floor dysfunction and find your videos so helpful for relieving pelvic pain, thank you! 🙏🏻💕
Hi, just wondering, how will I know when I have properly learned to relax my pelvic floor muscles to move on to the strengthening exercises? Do I need to see a physiotherapist to determine this? Thanks!
Emily, that would be ideal (seeing a women's health physio)! If you're unable to sense the relaxation based on the instruction on this video, and after really "tuning in" to your body, then I think a PT is a definite "must" before your next step. However, if you feel like you've mastered the art of relaxation and can really sense the difference between contraction and relaxation then go ahead and give strengthening a try! Start slowly and gradually progress. You might want to begin with my lift series, even if you don't have prolapse: femfusionfitness.com/lift-pelvic-organ-support/
I think if Americans gave Indian style squating position for pooping since childhood then there would have been almost zero case of pelvic flour in America or any country because it strengthens pelvic flour . this is why we Indians don't have this cases its almost zero . only trauma may cause
Does this push out “things” in the vagina if done properly? (Such as a tampon) I just want to make sure I’ve found the right technique, my gyno told me my pelvic floor is too tight, and I’m having issues with peeing while sneezing or coughing or gagging.
My chiropractor told me that my psoas is very tight and this is where people hold tension as well as their necks and shoulders. Could this be pelvic floor related? Could this also be the reason for tight hamstrings?? Thank you for your vids, Dr. Bri!!
Hi NJ, great question and YES! The psoas is a very common place to hold tension, which can absolutely "overflow" into the pelvic floor (or vice versa; pelvic floor tension can cause excess psoas tension as well... kind of a "chicken or the egg" scenario)... You might enjoy my super yummy psoas stretches: ua-cam.com/video/FXOEe4J_Z1g/v-deo.html
Same issue and I have both tight pelvic floor and tight psoas. Pelvic floor is now good but the psoas still needs help. It all go to tight it tore my hip labrum, yay! So totally TOALLY possible from experience :(
Is it good for who suffering from poor opening of bladder neck. Means internal urethral sphincter not relaxing properly. It makes me difficult to pass urine and retention. Plz reply
@@vibrantpelvichealth Thanks! It was pretty clear in your video. But I wanted to make sure, since you're very helpful. By the way, since pelvic stretches and this video have a positive effect on me - do you have any concerning lower abdomnial strength?

The idea is that it's the opposite sensation of being closed (i.e. like a closed door). You want to completely release, relax, and OPEN the area (envision a door going from closed to wide open). I hope that helps!
Hi...... I know exactly what u mean. My pelvic floor is sometimes so uptight (up and tight), that when I try to breathe into it, it tightens more. When it is like that , try and concentrate on the first part of video....... The letting go (down n loosen) while on exhale. As for the lift analogy........ think of a lift going down and the doors opening from the middle out. Hope it helps ❤️
Hi, I have a problem with my stomach I think I messed up my tight stomach lining on the inside of middle tummy muscles while I was doing reverse kegels, cause now it feels like my tummy muscle feels looser and weird, and pelvic floor muscles keep getting trapped in that gap up in thoracic cavity it goes all too far up
Hi Gabrielle Williams, I'm sorry to hear that you're having these issues! Due to liability reasons I'm unable to answer personal questions via email, message, or comments. For personalized recommendations specific to your need, I recommend that you consult with a pelvic floor physiotherapist in your area. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't provide the individualized support that you need without seeing you one-on-one as a client. Take care!
I have strong pain in anus opening,there is no fissures no piles etc, and while peeing i feel pain .no prostetities no infection in my body. after doing 3 to 4 weeks of kegal i experienced this. IS THIS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR? PLS MA'AM HELP HELP HELP , pls reply back
If this started after doing 3-4 weeks of kegels, then I encourage you to STOP doing kegels and continue with relaxing/releasing videos (such as the video you're commenting on). Also please consult with a pelvic floor physical therapist in your area.

After all of that I'm still none the wiser. What do I have to do to reverse kegal?
I recommend contacting a pelvic floor physical therapist if you're unable to feel the sensation of releasing/relaxing your pelvic floor.
Amazing, really easy to understand and focus.
Your voice is actually quite soothing. Have you thought about doing podcasts?

Funny, this is the 5th-6th video or written instruction that I’ve watched and I was clueless before but now I think I got it.
I have strong pain in anus opening,there is no fissures no piles etc, and while peeing i feel pain .no prostetities no infection in my body.
after doing 3 to 4 weeks of kegal i experienced this.
IS THIS WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR?
PLS MA'AM HELP HELP HELP , pls reply back
If this started after doing 3-4 weeks of kegels, then I encourage you to STOP doing kegels and continue with relaxing/releasing videos (such as the video you're commenting on). Also please consult with a pelvic floor physical therapist in your area.
