How do I access part 2 of pelvic floor exercises
Hi David,
Thank you for this series! I had been experiencing chronic pelvic pain for about a year and a few months ago was told I had hypertonic pelvic floor muscles that couldn't relax. I was seeing a pelvic floor PT until quarantine, so haven't gone in about two months, but have been doing stretches and such that they recommended.
Anyway, I have been doing yoga for a bit and was curious how to learn how to properly activate my core and strengthen the right muscles, without further contributing to my tense pelvic floor. Thoughts?
thanks again!
Hi David! I was wondering if you could give some advice on how to lift the pelvic floor without tightening the glutes? I can barely separate the two and I believe I'm supposed to be keeping my glutes relaxed...
Is this the same muscle as in Kegel exercises? I never quite understood those, but it sounds similar.
