another excellent blog from Pelvic Health and Rehab

Post by helenlegs 11 »

one of the questions from the latest blog was
Do you have any tips for ways to lengthen the pelvic floor beyond the “pelvic floor drop?” (obviously good for a tight pelvic floor)

–Signed,

Beyond the Drop

Dear Beyond the Drop,

If you’re looking for additional ways to relax your pelvic floor beyond pelvic floor drops, try I diaphragmatic breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing is taking deep breaths that make your belly go up and down, not just your chest. This kind of breathing can help relax your pelvic floor muscles.

Plus, if you don’t have any nerve-like symptoms, such as burning, shooting, or stabbing pain in your pelvic floor region, you could also try getting into a deep squat when you do your diaphragmatic breathing. However, if you do have nerve-like symptoms, I don’t recommend this position because it stretches the pudendal nerve, which in turn can cause irritation to this nerve.

see the rest below. . . .includes more on scar tissue, kegals for men and a tilted pelvis
