Do you have a chronically tight pelvic floor? Is it affecting you physically – constipation, discomfort, sexual issues – or psychologically with anxiety, restlessness, or tension? If so, this video is for you.

There are 11 different muscles at the base of your pelvis that form your pelvic floor, control your bladder, bowels, and sexual organs. When overly tight, they are referred to as hypertonic, and create problems using the bathroom, stress, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction.

Some people develop this condition in childhood when they might be embarrassed to use the toilet, so intentionally hold in bowel movements for days. Adults in the service industry and drivers in particular, are often unable to use the bathroom for hours at a time, and this behavior can also lead to hypertonic muscles. Injury, infection or issues in this area such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), birth traumas, excessive exercise, excessive pelvic floor strengthening work, and stress can all be factors as well.

In this video I’ll show you some mindbody relaxation techniques that include breathing, stretching, and selfmassage which can be very helpful. If you’re new to this work, start slowly and ease your way into it. Also remember that some conditions require medical attention, so if in doubt, always err on the side of caution. Let’s get started!
