Symptoms of a Tight Pelvic Floor

Symptoms of a tight pelvic floor? Pelvic floor tightness can be sneaky.
I’ve found that subtle pelvic floor tightness can go hand in hand with a diastasis because the pelvic floor is compensating for the lack of abdominal connection which can increase tightness. This over time can play a role in increase TA tightness, which can perpetuate a persistent diastasis or belly bulge that doesn’t seem to want to improve. Ah, gotta love the chicken and egg concept when it comes to the body.
How do you know if your pelvic floor is tight? I’m not talking about the really obvious, “oh, wow, this is tight,” but the subtle, “I think something feels a little off but I can’t figure out what it is.”
Am I weak? I’m I tight? Am I tight and weak? Check out the video here to find out.

I like how you say that the pelvic floor is a compensator muscle. Because it’s in the middle usually from what i have read on physical therapy usually the tight pelvic floor is an issue brought on by weak surrounding muscles such as the glutes and abs which become weakened from sitting too often. So it makes since if a client comes and gets deep tissue released on the muscle the problem reoccurs in the future due to the surrounding muscles have not been strengthened. This leads to never ending cycle of release and never getting to the root of the problem, much like what happens in modern medicine treating the negative effect not the root of the problem

What about for men? I have frequency, slight pain in my sacrum and a constant feeling of numbness/ feeling like I can’t feel anything near my perineum and scrotum? Only thing that has helped at all is stretching but I still have constant sense to pee and or have bowel movements.

Omg. For the longest while I couldn't understand what was wrong. When standing up straight it's hard to breath all the way down and it feels like my stomach is being pulled down, but it's fine when I sit hunched over. I feel like this might be a combination of pelvic floor tightness, weakness and posterior pelvic tilt.

I have horrible coccydynia and have a hard time sitting. My obturatus internus is hypertonic. Does this mean my pelvic floor needs to relax? I also have a torn gluteus medius tendon so is that related?

@CoreExerciseSolutions 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, your pelvic floor needs to relax. It could possibly be related. Both the pelvic floor and the glute medius can overwork to compensate for glute max weakness. The hard part will be strengthening the glute max without irritating your pelvic floor or glute medius. I would see a good Pelvic Floor PT for in-person help or if that is not an option you could do my Pelvic Floor Perfect Program (which is part of my All-Access Membership). I go through that issue in my program.

I suffer from feeling like I have a UTI, my doctor sent me to a urologist and they told me there about my tight pelvic floor, they sent me home with a "stemi" thing and it's a little thing that sends electrical shocks to the area, she said it's kind of like massaging the muscles so they can relax. I helps for a little bit but the feeling comes back usually after intercourse :/

It could be. I have had people who have Urethroceles or the front of their pelvic floor is tight, get symptoms that seem like a UTI but their bacteria count is low. So the doctors can't figure out why and it begins a circle of it happening over an over until they figure out it is irritation from the above-stated issue.

I hope you don’t mind answering this, I am a male. I’ve recently for the first time ever really suffered bouts of premature ejaculation, not every time but definitely an increase. I have learned pelvic floor tension can contribute to this, I have recently gotten back into the gym pretty seriously and I’ve read this can cause tension, I’ve gotten really strong at adductor machine etc. I was masturbating the other day as I’m currently avoiding intimacy with my GF, and I felt on the edge pretty quickly, well that one didn’t last very long but I did it again soon after and when I applied some pressure and massage externally to my perineum I felt that feeling of being on the edge subside. Is it possible I had alleviated some tension with that perineum massage and that’s why I felt back to normal somewhat? Thank you for your time, sorry for the long one, I’m just really anxious to fix it
