Exercises and Stretches for Abdominal and Pelvic Adhesions - Scar Tissue - 30 Min Workout
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 кві 2023
- Simply put, an "adhesion" is an internal scar. Adhesions can be formed after surgery, injury, infection, or inflammation and they are very common in people with endometriosis. Adhesions can occur anywhere in the body. They can contribute to movement impairments and chronic pain. When adhesions form in the abdominal or pelvic area, they can contribute to pelvic pain, digestive issues, and may even impact fertility. Adhesions adhere or “stick” tissues (and even organs) together. Since the entire body is connected, what happens in one area can impact other areas too.
Conservative management includes manual therapy with a skilled therapist who can offer hands-on techniques like myofascial release or you can look into providers who are trained in the Wurn Technique. Book by Larry and Belinda Wurn: amzn.to/3ZX7mHq
Movement helps, too! In this video, I’ll show you exercises that offer a combo of gentle repetitive motion followed by longer sustained holds.
--- The exercise routine starts at 07:30
--- IMPORTANT!!! These exercises are NOT for fresh scars or recent scar tissue that hasn’t fully healed.
This 30-minute scar tissue workout can be done even if you don’t have abdominal or pelvic adhesions… the exercises and stretches are still a great way to gently mobilize your tissues.

Thank you for remembering us women who’ve had lots of surgeries due to endo. X
You're welcome. Adhesions are "hidden" issues, and I know that endo also tends to be a "hidden" disorder that's not often talked about (even though it's very common). We're here to change that! 🙌
I have been suffering with pelvic pain that comes on when I sleep since Christmas. Thanks to you, I am now sleeping undisturbed. There are not enough words to thank you. If the world was filled with people like you then it would seriously be a beautiful heavenly place. Your gift to the world is incredible 💚
I am so happy for you and I am celebrating you !!
I have had complete abdominal wall reconstruction, and suffered from bad adhesions. I have been doing these exercises every day for 2 weeks, and can start to feel some improvement. Thank you so much for this
Wonderful! So glad to hear this movement routine is helping you. ~Vibrant Support

Excellent video - your explanation of adhesions finally made it clear to me what they were - THANK YOU!! Several of these exercises FINALLY reached into areas that have been tight and that I just couldn't figure out how to get at.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your videos

Thanks so much for an answer and a helpful solution to what’s been worrying me for months. This has been extremely helpful.
My mom found your videos and found it very helpful. Thank you for doing what you do. She's been through a lot and this was definitely encouraging.
Glad both of you are enjoying my videos!
I have had adhesion for years and I'm so glad I found your sight, This my first lesson and I really feel this is going to help me alot. Thank you so much. 😊❤
You are so welcome! Enjoy this routine, I really hope it helps you!
Everything you explained is exactly how I was feeling. The exercises helped with getting movement and flow into the area. Thanks Bri. I really love your channel and your dedication to help your viewers ❤️
Thank you for being part of my community !
That was awesome. My legs were shaking at some of the stretches. Thanks.
Thanks for working out with me !!!
Thank you so much. Now I can do something about my pelvic needs. Thank you doc
Happy to help!
I am so happy to have found you! I finally figured out what's is going on with my hip pain. I have needed to release my facia and I am feeling better without needing to take pain meds . I love your joyful nature about you and I have started doing some dance party routines. Thank you so much Dr. Bri! Sharing with my daughters!
Glad I could help!
Thank you-this is exactly what I needed. Seven abdominal surgeries and two on my back.
Glad to hear my video is helpful 😊
OMG! I just did your video and I feel the best I have since my surgeries 2 years ago 😱 Thank you so so much!!!! I'll definitely be checking out your program!
so glad you are feeling good !!!
I’ve just discovered your channel and I really appreciate these videos. I’ve had two laparoscopic procedures and this second one that I had in August I was told that I have a frozen pelvis and I have scar tissue and adhesions completely taking over everything. I’m researching myofascial release therapists near me and my integrative med doctor recommended serrepeptase since I don’t want anymore surgeries, and your videos are helpful ❤
Welcome to my channel !! I am glad my content is helping !
❤❤❤❤❤thank u sister love u God bless u
You are so welcome !!
This is fantastic!! I’m 3 months out from abdominal hysterectomy and have been feeling very tight on the right iliopsoas especially at the area that connects to the pubic bone. This routine helped so much right away!! THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Yayyyy!!! So glad this routine was helpful !
You are a miracle worker. Thank you.
I'm so glad my info has been helpful for you!
@@vibrantpelvichealth I had chemotherapy at 29 years old, due to testicular cancer. These videos are indeed extreamly helpful with the pelvic floor conditions that have resulted. 😀 My therapist thinks my lymphatic system might be to blame. Have you by chance created any videos on that topic? My Urologist also thinks I have adhesions from scar tissue, so this video is perfect for that problem.
@@thefox1799 great question, and honestly all movement is great for the lymphatic system so any of my movement/stretching/exercise videos may be helpful for you (this particular video will be helpful for sure). In addition, you might like my new foam rolling video which is great for circulation in general (i.e. blood and lymph): ua-cam.com/video/idmWtKBezxU/v-deo.html ....You can also try this morning movement routine: ua-cam.com/video/Pr9vDoFdl9E/v-deo.html ...AND you can try this gentle dry brushing routine that's GREAT for lymph flow: ua-cam.com/video/UMFlCM-XQxM/v-deo.html
I so agree❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe a follow along scar tissue massage release video? This one was great
I'm so glad you liked this video! My personal expertise is in the area of movement, and LESS in the area of scar tissue massage, therefore I don't feel comfortable making a video about scar tissue massage techniques. I recommend seeing a skilled manual therapist who is trained in myofascial release or the Wurn technique for abdominal and pelvic adhesions. The stretches and exercises in this video are great to be used along with a manual therapy approach!
Can you tell me the details of the book please so that I can purchase it? Thank you.
I am a massage therapist doing scar release for my clients using microcurrent through a device called dolphin neurostim. They have a website that has a lot of information if you want to learn more and they even have a place where you can find a therapist in your area. Releasing scars is crucial!
Thank you for this video - I've had abdominal discomfort for more 15 years following an appendectomy when I was a teenager. These movements and your guiding visualizations are giving me hope that I can bring softness and healing to this part of my body. 🙏💕
Glad this routine has been helpful ! Wishing you the best in your healing journey ❤️
Any more improvements?
This hits so close to home.
9 months ago appendectomy and 7 months of abdomial pain.
3 Doctors say not a hernia. Muscle and scar tissue.
Hoping these excercises help.
I had laparoscopic and then open kidney surgery sixteen years ago. Yours is the best demonstration I've ever seen of how adhesions work to compromise freedom of movement and cause pain. Great exercises. I've done Vinyasa, Iyengar, and Ashtanga yoga. Love that you acknowledge manual therapy. Great video; thank you!
Glad my video is helping!
do you every feel bloating after you do this work out?
Thank you so much for your video, I bought this book and I really loved it very much.
You are so welcome!
can you tell me where i can get this book
So glad that I found your video! What is the timeframe you’d recommend after a surgery to start doing these exercises? Thank you!!
We recommend talking to your healthcare provider for individualized guidance. ~ Vibrant Support
I had a botched hysterectomy in 1986, 20 years later.. I’ve had 5 laparoscopic surgeries to remove adhesions. It’s been 5 years since my last surgery and I have more pain on my left side and bowel issues . Now I have two prolapses to deal with as well. I do some abdominal stretches for adhesions which seems to help instructed by a pelvic physiotherapist. Thank you for your helpful videos. Have a great day ❤
I am sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing, and glad you are now receiving the support you need. Hope you continue to feel better !
@@vibrantpelvichealth Thank you so much, your videos have helped me as well. Please keep doing what your doing for us 💕💞
I’m sorry. I had a botched hysterectomy in 2020 and my last intensive surgery failed in part too. Dr. Bri and my PFPT have been amazing. All the best to you.
Didn't know why there was pain here and there in my intestinal area.but after doing these exercises I felt painless. So that indicates maybe adhesions must have been a reason.Thank you Dr
Glad you found relief !!
😉😊 This is a great exercise workout. I help me a lot reducing the pain from the scar adhesion at my lower pelvic. The adhesions make pressure in my left ovary and is very painful.
You're so welcome!
Wow I’m literally healing currently from abdominal surgery, had my drains removed today & this pops up🥳🥳Thank you
You're welcome! I love the timing for you! BUT -- Depending on how far out you are from surgery, you might need to save this video for later. It's NOT for fresh scars or recent scar tissue that hasn’t fully healed. But definitely watch the whole thing right now to get the info, and get started with the exercises when your incisions have healed.
@@vibrantpelvichealth Def saving it after watching & thanks for I didn’t harm myself attempting this too soon😊
How are you doing? I’m 5.5 mpo abdominal pelvic organ prolapse surgery.
@@naturegirl4074 I’m great thanks, minimal scarring that’s fading rather fast
@@imthebeholder8554 good to hear :)
Thank so much for the information, pls is there any supplement one can take to eat the scars while doing the exercises?
It's crucial to consult a healthcare provider before taking any supplements. They can guide you based on your individual needs and ensure they're safe for you, especially if combined with exercises. Remember, natural healing takes time, and a balanced diet along with exercises can contribute positively. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
Excellent. I’m 5.5 mpo abdominal sacralcopopexy rectopexy and perineum repair. I also had hysterectomy and rectocele repair 2020. They removed adhesions from my bladder this last surgery. I’m sure I had a lot more after and your exercises helped a lot. And now o have this video to help with any new ones. I have hEDS and heard our bodies make a lot of scar tissue. Already it’s diminished some, at least the stuff I can feel tight around the incision. ❤ I’ve been in PFPT since about 3 weeks po. Taking a break for the new year. Also have rectocele again sadly. Thank you Dr. Bri for all you do. I cried during the pelvic floor meditation. I really needed to say those things to my body…
It sounds like you've been through a complex medical journey, and I'm glad to hear that the exercises and resources have been helpful for you. Taking care of both your physical and emotional well-being is important. If you have any concerns or specific questions about your ongoing recovery, it's crucial to communicate openly with your healthcare providers, including your pelvic floor therapist. They can offer guidance tailored to your unique situation and help you navigate any challenges. Wishing you continued progress on your journey to recovery.
@@vibrantpelvichealth thank you :) I go back to see the surgeons on Monday
I have internal scar tissue after abdominalplasty. 2 yrs post original surgery & 1 yr post revision surgery but continue to deal with the same issue.(seems like it came back 2 fold 😢😮💨) So glad to have found this video. Thank you!
I am glad yo found this video, and I hope it helps!
How are you doing now😢 ı suffer from the Same issue
@Denizserap I continue to do these stretch exercises. I wear compression underwear & massage with sore muscle massage oil & wood paddle at night before bed. It's still there, but the discomfort isn't as bad as it used to be. Thanks for asking & hang in there it does get better. The real challenge is not gaining weight! 😮💨
@@heavenlygardensI have been visiting doctors and nothing seems on ct or ultrasond,they just say Mine is about anxiety,ı cant believe docs any more,thanks for the reply best wishes❤
Born with gastroschisis so I have lots of bowel adhesions and then had endometriosis, a hysterectomy and was t-boned in my driver's side door and really messed my hips/pelvic bowl up, can't wait to try this tomorrow!
I hope you enjoy the exercises !
How are things going? Did the exercise help with your adhesions?
so relaxing!😍should there be tension in the glutes while doing the cobra and backbends?
I'm glad you found it to be relaxing! For the cobra and the backbends, you'll want *a little bit* of gentle low ab activation to help support your low back. Definitely don't clench or overly-grip, but a little bit of low ab activation is great! Regarding your glutes, keep your gluteal muscles fairly relaxed during the backbands. Think of lengthening your tailbone, so that you're not compressing your low back.
I had laproscopic henria surgery 3 years ago and have had severe pain about 3 months following surgery and nobody has been able to help. Going to try these and desperately hope they help
Please don’t hesitate to ask for a second opinion if possible. ~ Vibrant Support
I'm excited to work on this every day for a week - to see how much a difference it makes to my body/abdomin/hips/mobility- that have not felt the same since giving birth to my daighter and with the intention of making room for baby#2, at 38/39 yo.❤🤞
Do forever as part of self care
We are excited for you !! ~Vibrant Support
This is a great video and thanks for the information. When you mention this routine is not for fresh scars or recent scar tissue that hasn’t fully healed. How long does it consider "fresh/recent" scars? I'm about 3 months after myomectomy surgery. Am I ok to do the routine? Thanks!
That depends on the person. I would recommend talking to your healthcare provider to determine when to start this routine. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
There are no wurn technique videos on youtube. Can u plz make a video on how can we work on adhesions with massage?
Noted :)
I am 5 minutes into this video and I feel excited at the possibility of relief from constant pain while standing and walking! I fell on my tailbone as a teen, I had eight stitches in my left inner upper thigh, I have been hit by a car. I have had minor surgery internally, I have been hot by a car on my right side as a pedestrian!
The exercise where you have one leg out to the side I cannot do. I am not able to open my legs more than about five inches because I am that tight! It hurts so much!
You can gain flexibility with time and consistency. Be kind and gentle with yourself :)
This is great 38:18
Hello! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I found out this week after a laparoscopy surgery that my colon is fused to my uterus and is impacting my infertility. After I am healed from my surgery, I plan to start these exercises. Since I don't have any pain (ever), how would I know this is helping without doing another laparoscopy? Thank you for your positive video and giving me hope!
It's great that you're planning to start exercises after your surgery. Since you're not experiencing pain, you can gauge the effectiveness by noting changes in your energy levels, comfort, and overall well-being. Consistency and a positive outlook are important. If you have questions, your healthcare provider can guide you. I'm glad the video has given you hope! ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
I have wondered about this for years and doctors have not been willing to do any imaging to check.
I am sorry to hear that !
I had a d&c after that I have a endometritis just 0.5 to much pain ..please give also what should we take in a diet or exercise or daily routine. Work
Please talk to your healthcare provider for individualized guidance on the best diet for your individual needs. ~Vibrant Support
How can these movements possibly break up abdominal scar tissue which is like steel? One needs surgery or at least to try special massage techniques to try to break down adhesions.
These movements are not intended to "cure" you, but they are intended to help relieve pain, soften the scar tissue, and release some of the tension in the surrounding muscles. Best wishes.
Hello, I had open abdominal surgery 1.5 years ago. I have adhesions in my intestines. I experience painful intestinal obstruction every 1 or 2 months, lasting for 4-5 days. Should I do these movements? Or do you have any other advice?
This workout is **pelvic floor aware** meaning that specific cues are given for breathing and technique. This keeps the workout "pelvic floor friendly" for people with all sorts of pelvic floor issues.That being said, I can't guarantee that it will be appropriate for your needs. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and will tolerate exercises differently. Listen to your body and stop or modify if anything feels uncomfortable for your particular core/pelvic floor needs. Talk to your local pelvic floor physical therapist for individualized medical advice!
Thank you for this video. How to find a skilled manual therapist that does adhesion/scar work? Clear Passages does a weeklong treatment but it’s about 6k and in Florida. I’m on the West Coast. Thank you!
To find a skilled manual therapist specializing in adhesion/scar work on the West Coast, consider searching online directories like Healthgrades, Zocdoc, or Yelp. Look for reviews and ratings to gauge their expertise. Additionally, ask for recommendations from your primary care physician, friends, or local physical therapy clinics. ~ Vibrant Support
Hello beautiful please guide me i have overian scars tissues can't convince naturally did these exe helps me to relax my overies from scars??

I got utero parietal adhesions I need some exercise... I already gone through one ectopic pregnancy and two c section totally 3
I'm sorry to hear about your utero parietal adhesions and your past experiences. Given your history, it's crucial to approach exercise cautiously and with medical guidance. Consult your healthcare provider, preferably a gynecologist or specialist, for personalized exercise recommendations that consider your medical background, surgeries, and current condition. Prioritizing your health and seeking professional advice is key. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support

I recently had a full keyhole hysterectomy 8 weeks ago if I touch my tummy it has a burning sensation all over my tummy would this help, thank you for all your videos
This could be helpful, but you'll want to start very slowly and VERY gently, and only start these exercises once your incisions are fully healed. If you have any questions specific to your post-surgical needs and/or your incisions, I recommend seeing a healthcare provider in person.
is this work out prolapse safe?
Yes!
What are your thoughts about using a percussion massager to massage the groin and hip area? I use mine religiously, but sometimes I find myself in even more pain the next day. I was diagnosed with a mild to moderate case of osteoarthritis in my right hip about two years ago, which I was surprised, because I was always in a lot of pain from being so active from work and sports. I've had a lot of labor intensive jobs over the years that were very physically demanding; always on my feet, bending, lifting, hiking, etc. This injury occurred about 22 years ago riding motocross, I pancake whipped the bike sideways off a jump and landed straight on my hip. The doctor told me I had a flat spot on my hip. Not sure exactly what he meant, because I was a teenager. I'm guessing I impacted the cartilage in my hip joint. I don't think I chipped any bone. When I got my diagnosis two years ago, the doctor said he didn't see any flat spot from the x-ray. I felt like the care I received was a joke, given the amount of pain I was in. He sent me to PT. My physical therapist gave me a list of stretches and exercises using a foam roller. I only went a couple sessions and never really gave the stretches & exercises a chance. I don't do it regularly, only once in a while, because I get lazy and I find it hard to find the discipline to force myself to do it, because I'm always in pain. But I'm wondering if I need to just push through the pain, but at what point would I actually begin to notice any results from stretches and exercise? At this point I feel like it's more of a severe case of osteoarthritis, because I'm limping first thing in the morning, and it gets worse throughout the day. Sometimes I can't find a comfortable position at all if I'm sitting or laying down. Right now I'm not able to work and I plan on going on disability and seeing a specialist to find out if I need a hip replacement. All my life I've been very active in extreme sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, motocross, etc, along with physically demanding jobs. So that has made it progressively worse over the years. I have pulled my groin several times snowboarding, and I know there's scar tissue in there. The muscles are all very tight from the groin all the way over to the hip. Sorry for writing a novel. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Using a percussion massager on your hip and groin area can provide temporary relief for tight muscles. However, given your history of hip injury and the severity of your symptoms, it's essential to consult with a specialist for a comprehensive evaluation. They can recommend the most appropriate treatment. Don't hesitate to ask for a second opinion.
If you continue using the massager, use it cautiously, starting at a low intensity setting to avoid aggravating your condition. Be mindful not to apply excessive pressure, and don't use it aggressively or for extended periods.
In the meantime, modifying your daily activities to reduce stress on your hip joint and finding a comfortable sleeping position can help alleviate some discomfort. However, it's crucial to have a healthcare professional guide you through managing your hip condition for the best results. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
@@vibrantpelvichealth thank you so much for the advice, I really appreciate it. I will do that. God bless.

At age 67 I have adhesions from a history of intestinal endometriosis that cause painful intestinal spasms 😢. I’m going to try these exercises.
I hope they help you!
I got a sonography and ct scan done. Nothing found in there. Is it still possible I have adhesions??
I’m 7 month postpartum and have abdominal pain since I gave c-section birth.
Yes, it's possible that you might have adhesions. It's possible that they were too small to be visualized on the scans. Consider doing the exercises shown in this video -- they're great for ANYONE, even for people who don't have adhesions! But if the exercises help you feel better, then -- adhesions or not --they are great moves to add to your daily routine.

I message around the bone with funger tips. It hurts but what relieve pains better after.
Gently massaging around the painful area with your fingertips can provide relief, but remember to listen to your body, stop if it becomes too uncomfortable, and consider consulting a pelvic health professional for personalized guidance on safe techniques. ~Vibrant Support
I was entering a comment and accidentally either erased it or introduce it without finishing it. What I am trying to share is that after many abdominal surgeries I had two very serious surgeries in December 2022 and 2023. With the last surgery that I had, I was told by the surgeon that if I have, another problem. It will be very difficult or impossible to fix due to the extreme amount of adhesions that I have in my abdominal cavity. In these last two surgeries 75% of the time that it took was used by the surgeon and trying to remove adhesions just so he could get to the part of my body that he needed to actually do the surgery. He said if I have this problem again with my intestines and digestion I may not be able to be held by any further surgery and have to be put on hospice. This is an extreme example of adhesions and how harmful they can be . Thank you so much for this and I’m going to look into book that you mentioned also.
Thank you for bravely sharing your journey with multiple surgeries and adhesions - it sounds like you've been through so much! I'm so glad you found this information helpful, and I hope the book provides even more insights to support your healing. Sending you loads of strength, hope, and gentle hugs as you navigate this challenging path - you're a true warrior! 🌟
Is this good for diastasis recti
That's not the intention or focus of this workout, but yes, it should be safe for diastasis recti.
Can you tell me details of that book please? Thanks x
It’s ok. I’ve found it ❤
Enjoy reading it ❤️

Hi l had a hysterectomy about 5yrs ago, since then l have been troubled with abdominal and back pain all over. Recently my tummy has become a bit swollen which l thought was weight gain but I've noticed dimples either side of my abdomen. Could it be internal scar tissue?
It seems you've been experiencing abdominal and back pain since your hysterectomy five years ago, and you've recently noticed abdominal swelling with dimples on either side. While scar tissue could be a possible cause, it's important to consider other factors too. Have you talked to your medical team about these new developments? They can provide a comprehensive evaluation to pinpoint the issue. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support

It's essential to consult with your healthcare provider or a pelvic floor specialist to address your specific medical conditions, including a bulky uterus, divarication of recti, and adhesions, and to discuss the suitability of any exercise program, as well as explore potential treatments for heavy menstrual bleeding. ~Vibrant Support
I have adhesions in stomach which I undergone open surgery. After that 5 yrs later I had huge peritonial cyst which taken out but again it's coming back. Doctors saying it's because of adhesions and there is no capacity to absorb the fluid by peritonium. Is these exercises will help
These exercises might not directly address recurring peritoneal cysts due to adhesions. It's essential to consult your healthcare provider for tailored advice. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
I am 60 years old. Had 3 large babies with not so easy (natural) births and let's just say they left their mark on my body :) 13 years ago I had the bladder surgery with hammock, mesh and something with bowel. Can't remember the details but surgeon basically lifted everything up since there was a significant amt of prolapse. Things are much better but still have some moments of almost not making it to toilet to pee and sense of urgency. I just recently found your channel and have learned so much. All I was ever told was to do kegels and nothing about specific exercises or relaxing the pelvic floor instead of strengthing it and making it tight! Thanks so much for your information and am hoping it's not too late for help since it's been so long for me. Any specific advice?
It's definitely not too late, Lori! Start with gentle movements and pelvic awareness exercises like the ones shown in this video. Often times, urgency is due to tight/overactive pelvic floor muscles. I recommend seeing a pelvic floor PT in person if possible. You might also benefit from my BEGIN Mini-Course.

@@vibrantpelvichealth Yes a pelvic floor PT person would be hard to find in my area. But I will definitely look into your suggestions. Thanks so much!
I am 64 and found your videos while recovering from a hysterectomy to remove a prolapsed uterus. The gynaecologist left me with a stage 2 prolapsed bladder. I have been going to a pelvic floor physiotherapist and have gotten a lot stronger. The physiotherapist has now put me on a maintenance program, but I want to continue getting stronger and improve my prolapse even further. My question is would your Lift program help me even though I have had a hysterectomy? I should mention I have lost 18 lbs (I’m 122 Ibs now) since the operation in November 2022, because it affected my bowel function, which is finally ok now). Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I hope she answers your question. I have one of a similar nature that I am waiting for an answer on 🥴
Yes, the Lift program can help you strengthen your pelvic floor and core muscles :)
Thank you for getting back to me. I wish there had been this kind of help and information when I was younger.
Wow thank you for this! I can’t believe this isn’t talked about more in the medical community. I had a 2-story fall 20 years ago and had spinal fxs in thoracic and lumbar and have had some issues; not one doctor has ever suggested I might have adhesions! I’m so happy I came across you and your channel! I’m pretty much crying right now. I’m looking forward to doing this and everything else I see from you. Looking into acupuncture, as well as massage, too. Thank you, thank you! ❤🥹🥲
I am glad my content resonates with you !
I had a hysteroscopy 4month back, since then i did not c my period could this help
It can help. Please make sure to reach out to your local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. ~ Leila
Would 3 to 4 weeks after abdominal laparoscopic surgery be too soon to start trying the exercises in this video?
Please talk to your surgeon or healthcare provider before starting any new exercises after abdominal laparoscopic surgery, as they can provide personalized guidance based on your specific case and healing progress. ~ Vibrant Support
How long after laparoscopic surgery should i wait before seeing my pelvic floor PT?
That's a great question for your pelvic PT! In my opinion, sooner is often better than later! There's a lot your physical therapist can help you with even before the typical mark of 4-6 weeks post-op, such as breathing exercises and/or stretches and exercises for other parts of your body that weren't directly impacted by the surgery but can still help you stay comfortable and help your fascial network stay strong and mobile.
@@vibrantpelvichealth thank you, Bri! You are amazing ❤️
Great
😂
Dr Bri i had hysterectomy in 2000. 4 days ago start having pain above pubic bone. Where they cut. Very painful and servre urinary incon. What can i do. Its hard to walk without extreme pain. Help please
If anything feels uncomfortable for your particular core/pelvic floor needs, please talk to your local pelvic floor physical therapist for individualized medical advice!
Are these prolapse safe?
This workout is **pelvic floor aware** meaning that specific cues are given for breathing and technique. This keeps the workout "pelvic floor friendly" for people with all sorts of pelvic floor issues, including prolapse. That being said, I can't guarantee that it will be appropriate for your needs. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and will tolerate exercises differently. Listen to your body and stop or modify if anything feels uncomfortable for your particular core/pelvic floor needs. Talk to your local pelvic floor physical therapist for individualized medical advice!
@@vibrantpelvichealth I just arched it all the way through first this time and I think it will be fine. Thanks for this! I do see a PFPT also. Taking a break right now.
had my appendix out about 1 and half years ago. Have had on and off pain in that area since. Ultrasounds found nothing. They said probably scar tissue. Tried a general PT at 6 months for about a month or so but didn't do anything. Think i need a specialist PT though. biking with tough resistance helps..
Scar tissue can definitely be a culprit, and it's awesome that biking with resistance helps. A specialist PT sounds like a great next step to really dive deep and get to the root of the issue. 🩺 Trust your gut (no pun intended! 😉) and keep advocating for yourself. You deserve to feel your best! Sending lots of healing vibes your way. ~Leila, Vibrant Support
And also before getting swelling and iam getting lower back badly Can't go through tat pan sometimes getting stress not liking to live
I'm truly sorry to hear about the physical discomfort and emotional distress you're facing. Dealing with both can be incredibly challenging. It's essential to communicate your physical symptoms to a healthcare professional for proper guidance. Additionally, if you're feeling overwhelmed emotionally, seeking support from a mental health professional or talking to someone you trust can be beneficial. Remember that you don't have to go through this alone, and seeking help is a sign of strength. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
can old scarring be taken away?
It can improve with time. ~Vibrant Support

Hello I would love help I am 3 months after laparoscopy surgery I had an infection following an examination that the HMO, But on an ultrasound a week ago, the doctor said the intestine was stuck to the uterus. Is it safe for me to do the exercises? I have severe endometriosis
While the exercises in this video are quite gentle, I wouldn't want you to overdo anything! I can't give you individualized medical advice since you're not my patient, but I'd encourage you to start SLOWLY. Consider doing some gentle hip circles and see how they feel in your body. This video has info about how to do hip circles and why they can be helpful for pelvic health: ua-cam.com/video/YN9wCBFYaDk/v-deo.htmlsi=P_gFtwk8OcxKb3Nj

Hello how are you? What can I do to fix this problem I had hernia surgeries in the past a few years ago No pain problems But about 5 years ago I had a tear on the right side of the abdomen in the same place where I had the hernia fixed Now after that injury I no longer I can't move nor can I carry more than 30 pounds of weight. I have pain in that part of the right side of my abdomen and pelvis. They did ultrasounds and they didn't find anything. But I think the problem is between the muscle and the skin and not the fat inside. I would like to be able to have it again. my normal life as before and being able to do my activities and sports, unfortunately I can't because of the pain I feel. What could you do to fix this, thanks in advance.

I have had multiple abdominal surgeries including emergency laparotomy. After that i grew severe adhesions for which I underwent adhesiolysis. Im really worried about adhesions coming back and Im also worried about the fact that this can lead to infertility. Can you please give me some sort of hope. Will these exercises actually help? And will i be able to give birth someday?
Pelvic floor exercises may offer benefits post-abdominal surgeries, potentially aiding muscle tone. However, the impact on your ability to give birth depends on your health, surgery details, and possible complications. Consult your healthcare provider and possibly a pelvic floor physical therapist for personalized advice. They can guide you with exercises suitable for your situation. ~Vibrant Support

Yes dear I also have same problem ....not conceiving after cyst removal ....very painful adhesions feeling in abdominal area...
Hi dear .
Im Nayab from Pakistan.
Two days before i came to know that my left side fallopian tube is blocked from the end ( dilated at the lateral end due to adhension) .. My dr advised me sugery but i cant afford it and even dont want sugery .
Plz help me ... Can it heel with yoga without sugery .
I'm trying to convince since 6 years and 5 months . My age 38.
While yoga and lifestyle changes may contribute to overall health, they may not directly treat blocked tubes. It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss your specific situation. They can provide guidance on potential treatments, the likelihood of natural healing, and the implications for conception. In some cases, medical interventions such as surgery or other fertility treatments might be recommended.
If you're concerned about the cost of surgery, discussing your financial situation with your healthcare provider may help. They might provide alternative options or suggest resources that can assist with the financial aspect.
Remember, each individual's situation is unique, so it's essential to work closely with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate course of action for you. ~ Vibrant Support
