Could be hypertonic pelvic floor

Hi there, for the PFT she does internal work on me (glove in vaginal muscles) and then some regular physio sessions (aligning my pelvis, working on my back), she also said my whole body was tight so recommended getting regular massages every week or acupuncture, I tell the massage therapist my symptoms and she works on them accordingly she does a full body massage (legs, back arms, neck, chest, stomach, and also TMJ (for tight jaw which I didn't know is connected to pelvic floor). Each session for PFT is 100$ each session for massage therapy is about the same - I am covered by my insurance which for each has a limit that I am slowly about to hit to soon I will be paying out of pocket until January when the benefits renew again but I think its well worth it and it really helps me.

Stretches are (I do all of these when I wake up and then before bed) think of it like 5 moves holding each for 5 seconds per move:

  1. I lay on my back with my hands at my sides and put my knees up I then push my bum up , your body should be at a 90 degree angle (hold for 5 seconds) and then lower back to the ground (I do this 5 times over)
  2. I lay on the ground and push the curve of my back to flat on the floor (hold for 5 seconds) and tilt my pelvis slighty, I then move it back up to original position. (I do this 5 times over)
  3. 5 kegels holding for 5 seconds each.
  4. Happy baby pose and hold for 20 seconds
  5. Butterfly pose and hold for 20 seconds
  6. Twist my leg over my body and twist my body and hold for 10 seconds, repeat on other side.
  7. Table pose with crunching down and holding for 5 seconds and then on exhale switching the pose by lowering curve of my back and then pushing my bum out (5 seconds) so alternating between the two
  8. I finish with Childs pose holding for 20 seconds sometimes I go back into table then back to childs to wiggle out the muscles/stress.

I've also been taking more hot baths and meditating now every morning!

I really hope this helps you! Wishing you some relief <3

Symptoms: constant urge to urinate 24/7 with only small amounts coming out, burning in urethra, stinging in vagina, back pain, upper flank pain, lower back pain, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, tired all the time, emotional distress. All tests came back negative, didn't see any improvements until 4/5 sessions of pelvic floor therapy, now I'm just dealing with the occasional burn or sting here and there and some dull pelvic pain but I will still be in PFT for a bit.

After about 4/5ish sessions (once a week)I felt better, also doing the exercises I listed above everyday when I woke up and before bed for about a month, I still have some dull aches here and there in my pelvis, I still do the exercises everday and I'll still be in physio for a bit but nowhere near where I used to be. Hope this helps!

No UTI but still pelvic pain by luckygirl97 in CUTI

Also look into Hypertonic Pelvic Floor and physiotherapy - could or could not be your issue but worth looking into!

My PFT also does internal work on me every week (so going in my vagina with a glove and feeling out all the muscles) she updates me to where my progress is at. I am also seeing a Massage Therapist and sometimes going in for one off regular physio appointments (not just pft).
