Pelvic Floor Pain & Tight Hip Flexors

Pelvic pain can develop for many reasons. Typically, there is some sort of connection with muscle tension that irritates and tightens the muscles of the pelvic floor themselves or even the nerves that go through those muscles.

If you look at this model, you can see that there's a couple of muscles that are highlighted here — the psoas and the iliacus muscles. You can see how the iliacus really goes right to the inside surface of the pelvis. There are also many other muscles that create the pelvic bowl of your pelvic floor.

When one of these muscles, like the iliacus, gets irritated it can create almost a tug-of-war phenomenon to happen. When you have muscle tension in one place, it's going to create muscle tension in other places because those muscles are going to be trying to create “balance” on either side of the body.

So in this example, if you have tension in your iliacus or your psoas muscle, the muscles on the back side of the hips will play tug-of-war and tighten up too. This can include the piriformis and the other deeper hip rotator muscles, such as the obturator internus/externus, gemellus inferior/superior, and the quadratus femoris muscles.

These muscles are super close and are intimately connected to your pelvic floor and they are very commonly tight together. Releasing tension in these muscles and getting the pelvis into better alignment can help issues with the pelvic floor improve over time, and reduce pelvic pain.

This is YouTube at it best. People helping people live pain-free lives. Thank you sharing your knowledge and compassion.

I've long had super-tight hip flexor muscles, as explained in this video. It eventually led to a tight pelvic floor in general, with all of the awful pain that comes along with that. If you have any kind of pain in the pelvic region (including the perianal area), or in the lower back, this type of stretching should be part of your daily routine.

What's the name of the muscle you release ?

[maniyang]

For someone with Hyperactive Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, would you suggest using this everyday? Are there other tools you would use in conjunction with this, like the pso-rite release tool or the therawand?
