      Hey Michelle I think I have been overworking these kegals :-( maybe did more the last few weeks then I was ready for plus I have been doing a lot of lower ab workouts. I have been having sexual dysfunction the last few times and the constant feeling of needing to pee like a pressure... I hope I didn't ruin something :-( are there any tips or videos for this??? Thanks in advance

      @@ashleyhubble2995 hi Ashley, the need to pee during sex is normally a good thing, that's the sensation when you are about to climax, the kegels you've been doing are working! Unless you are in pain? Bare in mind urine incontinence is when you aren't able to control it, the pressure shows the hard work you've been putting in

    Hi Michelle, first I would like to say thank you. You are a good tutor. I had a total hysterectomy 12 weeks ago due to fibroids and endometriosis. I have struggled to do the kegel exercises and I was told that Iam in the beginning of a prolapse & this caused me a lot of anxiety. I could not feel the muscles when I started but now I feel them and I feel Iam getting there. You are honestly God sent. Thank you again and continue to do the great work.

    I have been doing pelvic floor exercises every day for the past couple of months but saw no improvement. When i watched your beginner video, it really helped me improve my form and it feels more effective. Can't wait to see my results. :) thank you!

    I am so glad I found this channel. I gave birth about 2 weeks ago, and no one told me about prolapses. I was so anxious and scared even when my doctor said mine wasn't that bad because I noticed it early enough. Seeing and feeling the prolapse is frightening. Since I watched you videos, I felt better that there are things I can do, and modifications to going #2 really helped. Thank you so much. I will continue to do these exercises and add on as my pelvic floor gets stronger.

    Great video. Watched your kegels for beginners video. Just wanted to check when I can start doing these. I had a vertical abdominal total hysterectomy 7 days ago. Now I am at home. I was going to start doing them on my back.

      Hey Katrina I hope you’re recovering ok, vertical abdo incisions can be tough! Most women start Kegels around 4 wks post op but this can vary amongst surgeons. It would be useful to phone yr dr’s rooms and double check with reception before commencing yours and all the best!

      Thanks Michelle. And you were right, In my case, doctor advice Is to wait 4 weeks. I may feel I am healing well, but need to allow adequate time for internal healing. I am glad I asked.
      Your videos are awesome by the way.

    Michelle, I recently had two surgeries, rectopexy and mucopexy. I was suffering from Rectoanal intussusception, rectocele, and mucosal lining prolapse for years. Finally found a surgeon to help me. I’m sure all the years waiting for surgery didn’t help. I’m still recovering from the mucopexy done last month. The rectopexy was in July. I want to be sure I am successful so that I no longer suffer from the nightmare it was. Are these the exercises I should do? Are there any others you’d recommend? Thank you so much.

      @suzanteman6376 Hello there, I’m so sorry to read what you’ve been through and endured. These are uncomfortable procedures aren’t they, especially with bowel movements. In terms of short term recovery the goal is to spend time upright and out of bed as well as lying down with knees bent over a pillow to encourage healing without straining. Stool consistency is also vital, keeping a soft well formed stool and not straining by using the correct bowel emptying position and technique see here for more details on recovery exercises and more do’s and don’ts ua-cam.com/video/mDn96mOE9kg/v-deo.htmlsi=F5lRo_PjFwsW78Jf Do you have access to pelvic floor physiotherapy? It could be very valuable to have a couple of sessions to ensure that your risk factors are minimized and this needs to be determined through thorough assessment. I hope this information is helpful for your long term recovery. Thank you so very much for sharing your experience, this is a very generous act as it may very well help other women suffering the same problem and unable to resolve their issues, so that they know good medical and rehab. Assistance is available. Best wishes to you, Michelle 🙏

      @@michellephysio Hi, thank you for your reply. I was looking at your download videos for purchase. Which one is best for me? I was also watching your video on best foods for softening stool. I am a low carb eater, type 1 on insulin pump. I’m finding that my stool refuses to soften despite eating and drinking foods you mentioned. It may be just because I’m still recuperating but it does make the bathroom experience unpleasant. I moo and all but there are days that are really trying. Even better days aren’t great. I certainly don’t want to cause a relapse. I absolutely love your videos and the caring loving way you speak to us. Thank you for that.

Check with pharmacist suitable for yr gen health but generally very safe & non habit forming (brand names Movicol, Osmolax etc) - keeps stool soft, well formed and doesn’t irritate bowel, need to ensure 1-2 cups inc. fluid daily.

I’ve seen things for vaginal insert but wonder if I should use one for anal insert. If so, is there one you’d recommend? I had gone to a physiotherapist when this all started years ago and wasn’t impressed with her. If it’s something I can do at home it would be great. Thank you.

      @Nana Beans these exercises can make the pelvic floor muscles tighter and stronger. These muscles are positioned in and around where you sit, close to the opening of the vagina and anus. These muscles can become better toned with Kegel exercises particularly if already weak or not exercised previously. Glad you like the videos!❤️🌺

    • @michellephysio
      @michellephysio  11 місяців тому +1

      @sandramalkovsky5197 Hi there, the lower abdo muscles do coactivate with pelvic floor muscles so the contraction is normal and in fact desirable. Lessening the intensity of Kegel exercises will reduce associated lower abdo discomfort. If pain persists after doing this for a week or so best to get your symptoms checked by your doctor to make sure they are not being caused by something else.
