This video has been extremely helpful during my recovery from prostatectomy surgery. Performed your pelvic floor in conjunction with Kegel exercises daily. Eating right and exercising (2.5 mi brisk walk daily). In five months I have went from 300+ ml leakage to now 17 ml daily. I am very confident within a few more months will be continent .

David- very well presented and user-friendly program for me as I am post radical robotic prostatectomy and was unsure how and when I might be able to curtail the incontinence seen as I bend at the waist, cough, sneeze, or simply fatigue, or when still semi-somnolent at night but need a trip to the bathroom to void. Sometimes that trip can be associated with the incontinence

Best video. Three weeks out of surgery. I believe with following your video I’ll be good to go. Thank you from the Chicago suburbs.

I had the pleasure of meting and sitting down with David for about 3 hours, and his knowledge and understanding of the prostate cancer is invaluable . He told me the good, the bad & the ugly about the before & after operation & no bullshit .., great man to speak to his video is very help full..

As a healthcare professional id like to say you Sir are a legend. Simple straight talking

[colinbell-NI]

Thanks for that. I am here as i have overactive bladder which is making my life a nightmare at times esp travel. I gave an expert what amounted to a week of my wages, to no result, and she didn't give me the exercises you have given us free here. Every blessing from Ireland!

Thanks David.That was the most informative and easy to understand exercise program that i have found so far.I had prostate surgery in january 2012, and have had 'dribble' problems ever since. You have given me great encouragement that i might be able to stop this embarrassing problem. Kind regards Dave in the UK

Clear and easy to understand and remember.
Very useful the recommendation when standing up from seating, coughing, sneezing...
It is also useful to hold negative abdominal pression in abdominal contraction and releasing air from lungs in the excentric phase of the movement

One of the best videos about kegels I've seen, very grateful to have learned some progressions for the exercise!

Hi David. I have gone thru few videos on this subject but yours is the best and simple way to explain Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises. Even the demonstration of the exercises further clarifies everything. Thank you. Also thanks to Charles for uploading this highly useful video.

David Many thanks for the clear and detailed explanation of the exercises. Much appreciated

[ianstevens]

Brilliant- thanks, David. I’m due to have a prostatectomy in the next two weeks and this is the most straightforward description of pelvic floor exercises I’ve seen. 👍

[norwichcanary]

I too just had my prostate removed and this video was incredibly helpful. Very clear and thoughtful presentation. You would fortunate to be nursed by Mr Hughes.

After 1 week of having a TURP operation I started the Pelvic Exercises and one week later it started to work and now I am back to normal. Excellent video!

[geckoproductions]

Very nice instructional video. I am two weeks post op and it will come in very handy. Thank you
