About Me

Hello everyone , my name is Mark I live in Sydney , Australia .

I first became aware of the pelvic floor in my mid twenties when my years of poor caveman posture and being slumped in front of a computer with giraffe neck posture finally caught up to me.

After spending countless hours in the sitting position I was starting to get an uncomfortable feeling coming from my pelvic floor. It was almost like I was a prize laying hen at the county fair and I was trying to lay a enormous golden egg to claim first prize but it had gotten stuck halfway.

It was a real wake up for me and realization that you really have to treat your body with respect and look after it. The internet being the amazing creation it is I jumped online as I was already on anyway :) and searched on google for pelvic floor dysfunction and pain.

It's always dangerous searching anything on google you can come to wrong conclusions and you can easily misdiagnose an ingrown hair as dengue fever. After sometime I finally started to find some results that made sense. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction.

I never really thought of it consciously but I've always been quite an anxious and nervous person, There is no way I can sit through the blair witch project without jumping out of my seat half a dozen times. I figured this was normal and it is but what wasn't normal was that I was holding all my tension in my pelvic floor and surrounding muscles.

I created a habit of tensing my pelvic floor muscles for every little scare or worry to the point where a tense pelvic floor now became normal and I started to know no different. I am only now starting to release my pelvic floor muscles and really relax and let go.

I did go a bit mad online searching pelvic floor dysfunction and ended up spending hundreds maybe thousands on pelvic floor biofeedback devices , massage tools, books, video classes and it has come down to two things. Making time to perform relaxing breathing exercises to fully let go and allow my pelvic floor to feel a relaxed state and Internal and external trigger point release to bring life back to my already tightened painy muscles.

I hope my little blog helps someone , and your not alone out there even though it can feel that way especially because of the way that pelvic floor dysfunction can take over your life. When you want to feel normal and not be rushing to the bathroom or dreading the thought of sitting down to drive somewhere or having to watch a lord of the rings movie marathon without your donut cushion.

that's me for now , may add more but at the time of posting this I have had about 10 views :P but that won't stop me dont worry
