      Having recent prostatectomy done within the last few weeks of this post, I am obviously still in the recovery stage. Meaning, no lifting of anything above 10 lbs, no strenuous pulling ect.ect. prior to the surgery, I was doing "brisk walks" on hilly terrain for at least 3 miles a day. Now, I am only walking roughly 1-1/2 miles on mainly flat, or moderate hilly terrain. Will this help to strengthen my pelvic muscles sorta like the kegel exercises?

    I've done these prior to my prostatectomy 2 weeks ago. Catheter removed a couple days ago, and minimal to no leakage. I'm continuing the kegals. Very happy so far.!

    I would like to shsre an accidental epiphany that might help other people. Recently I was looking to get my exercise walks in but the weather was bad so I decided to climb the stairs up and down. The effect was nothing less than miraculous. I have much better control than I had. It is not perfect but it is getting much better. I have been doing all the exercises that a physical therapist prescribed with little to no effect. I know walk my stairs 20×3 times a day. I walk the steps slowly so as to work the muscles. I don't know if it will help everyone but it sure has helped me

      Yes, walking stairs does also flex your pelvic floor. Ideally you'd want stairs that are not too steep. Most stairs don't meet the criteria, and you don't want to over-do it.

  • @ProMachinist
    @ProMachinist 2 роки тому +6

    A strong piece of advice for any man doing Kegals before and after a prostectomy, don't overwork those muscles in hoping for quicker results. Overworking them can possibly make the incontinence worse and in some cases, permanently. I found out the hard way.

    I had a radical prostatectomy nearly a year ago, and another surgery 12/31/19 to correct blockage in the urethra where it connects to the bladder. Had to be catheterized 4 times during a period of 8 weeks, with catheter in 4 weeks in total but not consecutive weeks. Been doing Kegels since January, but still have stress incontinence 10 months later. I'm dry all night and have been for months. I was not doing the exercises correctly until I found your videos in late April (my surgeon just handed me a thin pamphlet that didn't explain things very well and had no one show me how to do them properly). Have improved since then watching all your videos, albeit VERY slowly. I am very physically active and leak whenever I do yardwork, workout at gym, play sports, etc. Still using 2-3 Depends per day. I am confident that my technique is correct, and my breathing is proper. I currently do alternating sets of 10 fast and 10 long hold (10-seconds) standing, sitting and lying down for a total of 120 Kegels per day. Should I continue the alternating positions, or would doing all standing be better? Or should I locate a pelvic floor physiotherapist and follow an individualized plan? My surgeon wants to refer me to another surgeon in his practice for the bladder sling surgery? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Thanks for these pelvic floor exercise videos, Michelle. I first learned of your videos after doing a search on pelvic floor exercises back in October 2021. My question for you is: What should be my pelvic floor routine, relative to your two (2) videos that cover “AFTER Prostate Surgery”, a prostatectomy? I had a HoLEP procedure done on May 24, 2022 for BPH / oversize prostate, which was 70-90cc - xtra large. Cheers!

    • @michellephysio
      @michellephysio  2 роки тому +1

      @Doug Keenan thank you for touching base. The most recent research that we have available for effective pelvic floor training post prostatectomy is in this video ua-cam.com/video/B3APjwkqi3Q/v-deo.html It's recommended these exercises are started prior to surgery and then recommenced (standing) when the catheter has been removed 6X10 long holds and 6x10 short holds so a total of 120 exercises daily which is quite intensive training but has been shown effective over less intense training regimes. All the best and I hope this info helps you with your ongoing management 🙏

    • @michellephysio

    • @michellephysio
      @michellephysio  3 роки тому +2

      Cooper you should do them ling term. You’ll find it challenging initially post op but stick with it - usually improves markedly in the first 3 months if you can do your exercises daily plus try to increase the number & length of holds up to 45 secs when you can. All the best for your surgery!

    I love your video style and content. And I think I isolated the muscle that controls the "turtle movement". But it is confusing what muscle "stops the urine flow" . Is it the same one as the muscle thats "stops passing gas" ? Is it the same one I feel around my anus or to "hold my bowel movement" ?

    • @Thresholdism
      @Thresholdism 10 місяців тому

      Same pelvic floor muscles. But stopping uring flow is for the anterior/front portion of pfm, whilst stopping gas is for the rear/anus portion of pfm
