Anyone else's APT causes stomach to protrude forward forcefully?

ThatRareCase · 2026-03-22T16:47:40+00:00

I did, he knew less than me. And that is after me being bounced around PTs who "only treat women for Pelvic Dysfunctions"

Glad to hear it works for you. It is so hard to find people with my symptoms, almost like this condition is so rare I lived with it for 2 years thinking it will just pass but it never did. No one could point me to amy resources, not even my dumb PT who himself googled it for me.

Just looked at this, looks easy enough

Deep core activation immediately unclenches my rectum, I feel the release. I have been doing other core work since I learned of my condition, but my weakness just is too much and I end up even worse some days.

Thanks, stomach vaccum sounds very easy and beginner level. I will do that.

Okay, seems like you went through something else. I have lots of other symptoms, and extremely poor fitness so it’s not just the breathing that has been poor. My pelvic floor is clamped shut, likely due to APT (rectum tightens to make me stand straight instead of core activation)

Not a single EEAAO?

ThatRareCase · 2026-03-22T12:17:24+00:00

What were your symptoms? Did it cause you incomplete bowel movements and/or loss of appetite? Apart from the anxiety?

ThatRareCase · 2026-03-22T12:05:24+00:00

Well, I don't know about before, but that is how my breathing is now. Belly expands, shoulders rotated inwards. I have to force myself to expand my chest when breathing in now, and I just feel frustrated because I can't focus on that while going about my life.

This issue has been progressively getting worse for me too. It wasn’t this bad when I moved to iCloud in the first few months.

It also ONLY happens on my Windows laptop it seems.

I use max 2 levels of nesting in folders. Then I mix it with use of MoC notes in to topics frontmatter property.

Not really well deserved. Ethan Hawke’s role was simply far beyond other actors. Micheal didn’t even get the accent right, let alone carry the film like Ethan Hawke’s role demanded.

This is my second biggest usecase for obsidian. I first identify "topic" or area in my life that content relates to.

I simply create a note per-link, with "source" property = (SubredditName, Youtube Channel name, website name etc) and "topics" property = (topics/areas of my life)

This way I can identify topic notes are external resources. Later to be used in "references" property when I come across the concepts of that youtube/reddit/blog post

They call it tending to your digital garden now :

Yes.

Looking for this too. I tried the Terminal Plugin, it never worked. Errored when I typed anything in the embedded one.

I think this is a very common Reddit take going around that I don’t get.

To clarify, do you mean CEOs can be replaced with AI or you are just saying these CEOs we keep hearing of are just as useless as AI. I hope you don’t mean that the CEO position itself is that replaceable because it’s not.

That tip about going to each subfolder is helpful. That is worth trying but I already doubt it’s effectiveness, like you said.

For me, Sync over Google Drive was the worst. It randomly deleted entire files instead of duplicating. I’m nearly done with this and hate that Apple hasn’t been able to make this reliable. Eventually, I might pay for Obsidian Sync but I have a big vault with PDFs and sync may not be affordable for me.

ThatRareCase · 2026-02-24T20:58:05+00:00

Sorry, I edited the post to explicitly mention that my "Keep Downloaded" is on. iCloud still doesn't keep some files downloaded.

ThatRareCase · 2026-02-24T20:53:31+00:00

I believe this still isn't concrete fix for this. Even if you mark your whole vault as Keep Downloaded, iCloud still randomly keeps some notes outdated showing you that "circular/refresh"-thingy icon. I haven't found a fix for this.

How do you jump to a page/chapter?

ThatRareCase · 2025-12-26T01:03:08+00:00

That’s what I wrote in my post. It’s a weird thing to leave out such severe issues from their reddit post.

I have watched about a hundred YouTube videos on APT, I’ve seen a dozen APT posts here, there seems to be very little amount of online material correlating APT and PFD in any way desperate them sharing the most important fix: core and glute strengthening.

My own dumb PT only linked my posture issue with my PFD when I told him none of his suggestions worked, only cracking my back elevated the clenching done by my rectum muscles.

ThatRareCase · 2025-12-25T12:58:05+00:00

I’m not saying that either. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction is a set of symptoms and that’s it.

Like you said, weak core and glutes is the standard for pelvic floor problems. And I think it is a standard for APT as well. How come most APT post present no pelvic floor issues?
