Oh friend. I am so thankful for your video!! I saw a PFPT and she told me to do as many kegals as I could possibly do and that was all (bc I'm pregnant so she couldn't do an internal exam) but it *has* gotten worse and I have all of these symptoms. I feel such relief!

[rebeccabanya]

You are such an angel... I love all your content.. through your content, I was able to heal my 4 finger RD after a c section and my stomach is not big and I your exercises of relaxing back pain have helped me a great deal. I love you Jess. God bless you

[kaiowasdeath]

I’m so glad I found your channel! I have given birth long ago and never had problems with my pelvic floor, but recently I’m on a roller coaster with my hypertonic pelvic floor. Where can I find your yoga & pilates for hypertonic pelvic floor videos? I can’t wait to begin! Thanks a lot!

[tylernelson]

Great topic! Thanks for using your channel to expand the breadth of knowledge women have on this subject!

[mariacatherine]

I have interstitial cystitis triggered by my tight pelvic floor. I’m pretty miserable and don’t get much sleep. It got so much better for a short period after I delivered my daughter in July.

[vffzqvv]

Thank you so much for this! I just got diagnosed and these symptoms make sense especially since I know I’ve been struggling with knee pain and I know there is some sort of imbalance in my right lower body

[arayaviolin]

Wow I have every symptom. I had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and noticed this after my surgery.

[coralantler]

Wow, I have all of these symptoms and didn't know what was going on! I fell on my tailbone really badly 3 times in the Last year and it seemed to mess up some things.

[atifaaslam]

Thankue dear I love your all video's ..god bless you..dear

[asdfghjkl]

This is so accurate :/ I had the terrible symptom of cramping while trying to finish peeing, and I couldn't pee again. Horrible.

[ginakovanich]

I am 33 weeks pregnant with twins and was put on pelvic rest. My pelvic floor is also very tight. Which of your videos do you recommend to prepare for birth safely?

[katiepalmer]

I would love to get exercises to help relax the pelvic floor... I also have IC and recurrent UTIs from a tight pelvic floor

[BecAndRachLuvJEDWARD]

Can you have this without ever being pregnant? Nobody can find what’s wrong with me but I have many symptoms of hypertonic pelvic floor and I’m trying to get to the bottom of what’s causing my symptoms, even in my chest and throat

[harringt]

What if you never or seldom had these issues before pregnancy, but after getting pregnant you notice them? (Specifically, pain with intercourse, having difficulty starting to pee or emptying the bladder completely, and chronic constipation.)

[Butterfly-vgqp]

Can a retroflexed uterus cause a weak bladder?

[naukumaija]

I've never been pregnant, and put up with needing to pee more often for too long.... so long, that eventually my orgasms stopped feeling like anything. And the constant need to pee just keeps getting worse. Ugh.

[fayrouzza]

Thank you so much this is so helpful, would a tight pelvic floor affect labour, like making it more painful to be in vertical positions feeling so much pressure and pain when being in these positions.

[nicholaohanlon]

Can yoga or not breathing properly while preforming asana in yoga cause a tight pelvic floor?
Can over compensation in other areas for lack of core cause tight pelvic floor?
Thank you

[NusFZ]

Will you be linking exercises for the tight pelvic floor?

[KellyWhispersASMR]

It's so hard to know the difference between having an UTI and feeling like you have one.. I have health anxiety and have done many urine tests already... First my results are negative, then few weeks later they find bacteria in my urine culture, but no red or white blood cells... I don't get it...
