I can’t even tell you that I have tears of joy doing the exercises in this video. I have been absolutely miserable for the last four months with “interstitial cystitis“ symptoms seeing doctor after doctor, medication after medication for bladder pressure and frequent urination. I’ve done this video for two days and I’m already feeling major relief. God bless you for putting these videos out to help people.
This is ahhhmazing!!! Thank you for sharing. We are so glad that you found this video helpful. Keep up the fabulous work! You might also enjoy the other videos we have on our channel for overactive bladder too! You've got this 💕
Over 2 months ago, I began having an issue with my bladder. After several tests and ultrasounds, I went to another specialist and she said that I strained my pelvic floor. Finally an answer! I began doing your videos a few weeks ago. I do two each night and I am almost completely back to normal. You have saved me! Thank you for sharing these videos. You are amazing!
Thank you so much for sharing! So happy to hear the videos have been helpful to you & that you are feeling better. Keep up the fabulous work you are doing great 💕 If there are certain videos you enjoy more or topics you want to see please let us know we love making content you want to see!
@@riswqnkhan3400 Honestly, I’m still not normal, but I’m much better. I’d have a few good days and think I was healed, but then I’d have a bad day. I’m working with a pelvic floor PT now and a urogynecologist. I’ve learned more about the bladder than I ever imagined. Apparently the bladder takes a long time to heal. Hope you’re feeling better. I keep coming back to these videos and they help.
Hi Dr Melissa Oleson I can't thank you enough I'm 15 and I have been struggling with overactive bladder since 2020. My mom took me to so many doctors but none of their medication helped finally she gave up on me. As a south asian I have school for six hours and then coaching for 4 more hours and we're not allowed to leave class during lecture so I struggle a lot I even leaked during my classes so many times. I'm so stressed cuz of my UTI and I hope this video will help me. Tysm Doc for uploading these. I'm def going to try these exercises.
Hi, Melissa. I found your videos through a forum on pelvic floor release during a pelvic flare and saw one of your videos on it. When I felt strong enough and in less pain, I did the yoga and it absolutely lessened my pain. Your yoga makes me much more aware of what I'm doing to my body than other kinds of yoga. I'm grateful. After this video I can absolutely feel the muscles I held tension in. Definitely gonna try to keep up the momentum by doing this every time I have energy, as well as your other pelvic release videos. Thank you for what you do. I feel transformed.
I would like to thank you again so much ! I've only done the exercises the past 2 days twice a day and already two nights in a row I've woken up w/o urine on my sanitary napkin and on my bed sheet . I'm not even that old . I can't thank you enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love this pf release. You are the only you tuber I know who actually uses a ball on trigger points for release…. Game changer! Love to see more PF release videos with ball and stretches like this one! Thank you so much for doing them.

If you are wanting even more I recommend my on-demand & live yoga classes msunn.com/reframe Keep up the good work & stay tuned for more release work to come 💕
Thank you, Dr Melissa. I can do these exercises at home. I do them in yoga classes but not consistently outside of class. I have the props on hand. I can do this! Namaste
My OAB has been on and off, it is soo irritating , and I’m only 22 years old.I have just founded this video, l will try doing everyday for a month! And will update if it’s working! But overall this is my fav oab workout video so far, easy to follow and it could also be my post-workout stretch! Thank you
So glad you found this video helpful and have found a way to incorporate it into your routines. The breathing is key with OAB and checking in to see if there are things during the day that could be contributing to that. Keep up the good work! I'd love to hear how this video is working for you over the next couple of weeks.
@@Shannon.m_ait’s been going great! I’ve been doing this twice a day along with another one of her videos and I can finally say after 2 years of struggling I finally have relief and I can tell when I have to pee. Your pelvis definitely feels noticeably different after. My entire lower bottom, hips down felt relaxed. Never felt that before. I no longer clinch my butt cheeks too. 😂🤣 Breathing took me a minute to get down but it’s definitely worth practicing.
love this video I’d love to see more videos like this one! I’ve been doing this video daily and I find the pressure is lessened. But will continue to do it in hopes it gets rid of my issue thanks again for your help Dr!
Awesome job with this video! We have another overactive bladder video coming out in the next couple of weeks. We have other videos on our channel for tight pelvic floor that you might find helpful as well. Keep up the good work!

You are welcome! So glad you are enjoying the videos! And thank you so much for your suggestion I am adding it to our filming list so stay tuned in the months to come! Have an amazing day!
Thanks so much for youbvideos sooo helpful for my urges to use the bathroom. Love the nerve glide exercise. I wonder if I am tight because of my nervous system I would love to see a video on all nerve guides. Thanks for all you do!!!!!
I LOVE your videos! I had a sacrectomy a number of years ago and my hips are so tight and my lower back hurts often as a result. I just started doing your videos every day and they are helping me out so much! I recently started struggling with balance due to a foot injury and was wondering if you have anything to help regain balance.
So happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos and finding then helpful. That is so amazing! We do have a several videos just focused on balance like this one ruclips.net/video/yObTfpaGt3k/видео.html
Ive been struggling for seven years with UTI symptoms (no infection) and Azo only helps so much. Im going to try this, plus tegular yoga snd walking, and pray it helps me.
When there is no signs of infections sometimes a tight pelvic floor can be contributing (plus a number of other things so always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider). Breathing and feeling pelvic floor connection are key especially with exercises. Keep up the great work you got this 💗
I have been suffering OAB for many years, even had two bladder stimulator surgeries, they always stopped working. I can't wait to see if these exercises will finally help.
My bladder felt better at only one attempt am having bladder urgency or frequent urination over 6month straight nothing stressful and tiring so searching for all remedy fro tea to now exercise i meet up on this one try and am feeling a relief amma try it often i saved the video🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So happy to hear you found relief after doing these exercises. The breath combined with these gentle moves can be so powerful! Keep up the fabulous work💕
A daily must. Thank you Melissa,. I have bought the pelvic playbook did not realize that you have a class that we can do, would like to upgrade to be held accountable. Have not had space of go thru playbook, please reach out to me to let me know if I can upgrade to that class. Thank you sincerely Catherina
You are welcome! So glad you are enjoying this one and finding it helpful! And absolutely I will reach out to answer your questions about the Playbook, Welcome so excited to have you in the the playbook community! Have a fabulous day!
@@DrMelissaOleson Hi Melissa, My question is can I upgrade to pay more for the group classes you are offering as this will help me be accountable. I have not yet had a chance to engage the playbook. Please let me know
Dear Dr Melissa Oleson. This work out seem very right for me as a have an over active bladder with frequency and bladder pressure. My question is though; is it ok to do when you have a minor bladder prolapse which I do? Looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance❤️
Thanks for reaching out with your question! I always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider for what is best for you. The exercises in this video are also beneficial for prolapse, however it is all about how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling💗
Can you show pelvic exercises for stress incontinence in standing position. I had a total knee replacement and cannot do exercises very well on the floor
Thanks for your feedback! We'll add that to our filming list. We do have an all standing pelvic floor class if you search through out videos 💗 Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! One question; a tennis ball under my ribs on the left side is fine, but on the right side it’s extremely painful. Is that my liver, of are those muscles just very tense..?
So amazing that you found this video helpful! We have several other videos on OAB on our channel and here is one of them ruclips.net/video/SLBTZKu9Fcg/видео.htmlsi=AVoll5g037qpeEnq Keep up the fabulous work!
Ive been dealing with pelvic floor disfunction or CPPS for several months and i finally have been loosening my pelvic floor and eliminated almost all my pain, however now out of nowhere o feel as though i always have to pee. Do i need to follow this video and keep loosening or do i need to tighten? Btw thank you so much for all the work you do on here.
It really depends on so many things and everyone is different. I like to take the approach of the pelvic floor in that it is a system that needs to both lengthen, relax, and contract. It is constantly moving throughout our day to meet the demands of our activities. It's about what you are feeling when you do the exercises and getting to the root cause. Breathing and posture are key for this 💗
@cestmoimatilde no it's not, the good news is i have good days and bad days. I have also figured out certain things casue it to flair up so as lomg as I'm on top of then 9 tike out of 10 I'm good.
Sometimes a cause of not being able to fully empty the bladder is from a tight pelvic floor. Gentle exercises like these coupled with breathing can help relax the pelvic floor making it easier to go to the bathroom. It's all about learning how to use your core & pelvic floor system. When there is too much intra-abdominal pressure this can lead to pelvic gripping and tension causing difficulty going to the bathroom, overactive bladder, leaks and more. We also have several other videos on our channel to help with tight pelvic floor that you might enjoy 💕
I love your videos and do some of your pelvic floor workouts everyday. Can you create a video for frequent utis, especially for older women post menopause? Thanks so much for your work
Does this also help with nocturia? Ive been going a lot at night havent been getting enough sleep. I will try these out hope i can do it right, breath in the right place and not mess it up. Thank you 🤗 ❤️ I love you 💕
Yes breathing is so important with these gentle stretches and doing before bed can also be helpful with nocturia! Hydration is another important factor and hormones can also play a role so seeing your healthcare provider for what is best for you!
I've peed around 20 times today and im tired of it. I've peed a lot for a couple weeks now. I got my kidneys, prostate and bladder checked and doc said they are normal and I even tested diabetes and my blood sugar is only around 82 and a1c is around 5.0. I refuse to take their meds for overactive bladder. I hope this vid help me. wish me luck.
Great job getting everything checked. Breathing is so important with these exercises! You will have to keep us posted with how the exercises go! Keep up the great work!
@@cestmoimatilde I went to acupuncture electric therapy in the foot of the nerve nothing was working for me but I'm giving this a try the therapy everybody is different it all depends on the body I haven't had kids or anything so my problem was different I think this would probably be good for me and I had kids the muscle is loose down there that wasn't my problem mine was at my bladder was irritated
@@Fortis_Bellator wow! Thank you for your answer. I want to pee all the time since 4 months. How many weeks did you workout with this video? Sorry for my english, i try my best :)
Hello and thanks for this video, very helpful and relaxing. Still a question, what is the sense of applying the tennis ball? It’s not very comfortable with that but I have tried. I’m doing the exercises so often during the week. Thanks from Austria
Glad you enjoyed this video! The ball is a myofascial release technique for the upper abdominals. This area can be tight from gripping and clenching. That tightness can inhibit how the diaphragm is working which is a major player in how the core and pelvic floor system works. By releasing this area it can help the breathing muscle length. Keep up the great work!
Hi Dr Melissa, can i do this exercise during pregnancy in the first trimester. I have been having the urge to pee constantly especially at night. Would appreciate some advise. Thank you so much.
I am hopeful that something can help . I had TSS back in my past because of tampons so I moved to pads then started using the diapers for piriods and recently I started endlessly tinkling lately at 45 . I once used to be athletic as a youth then had two kids and life had been living me for so long just keeping going . I will not be in diapers for peeing to now . I will try to update after I have tried them . I also lost 60 pounds and started micro working out trying to work all I can as much and as often threw out the day . I now see that my workouts having lunges in them kind of is what has been helping some by spreading the hips . So I was helping with things I just started doing like a week ago . So patient healed thyself works here lol .
I have had both knees replaced and can't get down on them like this. I also am a pretty large woman and can't get down on the floor so do you have some exercises for this condition that can be done standing up!
We have some all standing videos for knees and core exercises, but such a great suggestion. I will add an all standing class for pelvic floor relaxation for OAB. Stay tuned! Keep up the great work 💕
hii doctor Melissa i take different medications for my uti but still it's not working even though the results of bacteria is few but my urgency to urinate is still high my mother gave up since i have another medication for my heart so i decided to take exercises and natural remedies i only have a symptoms frequency to urinate only that one and its so convenient as a student is this exercise really helpful to my bladder? pls answer i just done this today and if you have tips pls reply
When dealing with OAB, do you recommend only release and stretching and stop strengthening? So many sources are conflicting. I’ve been dealing with urgency since my late teens, I’ll be 35 in a couple weeks. “Kegels” have never done me any good. Been to two PTs and have only been instructed strengthening movements.
Such a great question & it all depends on how you are doing the exercises. The key is learning to manage intra-abdominal pressure, when there is too much pressure this can lead to tightness and gripping in the pelvic floor which can cause OAB. Things that create too much pressure could be how the exercises are done, sucking in abs, holding breath and so much more. So for my clients we work on releasing the pelvic floor and getting to the root cause of the tightness and then learning how to manage intra-abdominal pressure.
I did these exercises in bed. Is that ok to do them in bed? I just felt so tired but have the urge to start and do something for my urinary incontinence.
Everyone is different with what works best for them. The key with the exercises is how you are doing them and what you are feeling while doing them to relax the pelvic floor💕
Great question and it all depends! It's learning how to use the core and pelvic floor through by managing intra-abdominal pressure. You do this through breathing and posture for your pelvic floor. Breathing is so important with these exercises.
Hi there Im 53 years old &.For a year & a half ive been suffering with constant utis.. The only symptoms i have are an overactive bladder, leakage when i laugh or cough.. A very uncomfortable Feeling that my bladder is constantly full & it hasn't emptied completely & every time i pee its a tiny amount... An absolute nightmare, ive taken antibiotics so many times, yet the e-coli just won't shift..😢 Will these exercises help me in any way..
Even i am having the same problem of constant utis from 2 years and now after multiple urine test all i am having is just urge of frequent urination and peeing all the time
2 months back i used to have this dry throat problem and frequent urination. Whether going to bank or any other place. I started doing this once a day after 2 months feel so much better though i still have a dry throat, but my frequent urination problems are almost gone.
I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis years ago after I had my firstborn in 2013. Then years later another Dr said she thinks it’s overactive bladder. Food and certain drinks to tend to aggravate the bladder. It can be debilitating and cause anxiety and depression. I have two children to care for at home. It gets stressful and stress makes it worse. Do you think there’s a correlation with these conditions and pelvic floor issues being the culprit? I did have two c-sections. My bladder was significantly worse after pregnancy and having children. But what I struggle with is when these bladder flares come at times and it’s so debilitating and I’m embarrassed to be around anyone because of how bad the spasms get for hours and I just keep feeling the urge to urinate and keep peeing. It’s 95% of the time not an infection.
I always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider and a pelvic floor physical therapist can be so helpful for your exact needs. I have found for my clients the pelvic floor is involved and working on breathing and position changes, things throughout their day, and combination of a few exercises they can get some relief.
Does this really help. I've been suffering with OAB 11yrs now. Dr's took my money n still no relief. I'm 50 n lives in the Caribbean Islands.. Please any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
It's all about getting to the root cause of OAB. Learning how to use the core and pelvic floor as a system and manage intra-abdominal pressure. This starts with breathing and posture for your pelvic floor. How you do the exercises are what matters most.
Hi doctor iam 19 and i have been suffering from frequent urination and pain in the pelvic area.i have consulted many doctors and I didn't get any changes and any relief to my problem I dont know which type of pelvic floor exercises should i do? Pls reply and help me
It all depends. The most important this is how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling. Getting to the root cause of OAB is key and learning how to use the core and pelvic floor as the system it is. Breathing and posture are key for this. Some notice a difference right away, some takes longer.
Yes we'd love to know how these go for you! The breathing is key with the movements as well. We also have a few other videos on our channel on this topic you might enjoy. Keep up the great work!
Hi, i am suffering from multiple Sclerosis and I don't have control below my waist, spasticity in my limbs which will restrict me from straightening sideways, urine control also I have lost. Please help me out
Hey doctor! Whenever I pee it doesn't come out all at once it drips little by little time to time and I have to put pressure to release urine Which exercise should I do?
Hey doctor i am 18 yr old male i have the problem in which i feel urine sensation in my penile , so can i perform this exercises? Also should i add kegels?
Great question & everyone is different so listening to your body is key. Some do these daily, some every couple of days, and some when needed. It's more about how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling that matters most 💗
Would you recommend just these stretches for an overactive pelvic floor before delivery??? Also, no kegels if you have and overactive pelvic floor correct?
Everyone is different and it's about learning how to manage intra-abdominal pressure. When there is too much pressure this can lead to gripping and tightness which can contribute to overactive bladder. So it's about learning to both relax and lengthen and then activate pelvic floor.
Everyone is different. Consistency is key and it is all about how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling that matters most. Some have noticed relief right about some it takes a little longer. Keep up the great work!
I'm 28 and my OAB is only getting worse. Can't leave my home anymore because of it. I feel like I need to pee all the time and it's making me depressed. Will try this at least once a day. Hopefully it will work since nothing else does. Been to the doctors and medicine doesnt give any affect sadly.
You are not alone this is common, but so many things that can help. Learning how to use your core and pelvic floor system is key. It's all about managing intra-abdominal pressure, too much pressure causes pelvic tension and tightness which contributes to OAB, leaks, pains, and more. Breathing and posture are key for this. You'll have to keep us posted with how these exercises go. We also have several other videos on our channel for OAB. Keep up the great work 💕
Breathing is so important with these movements as well. It's learning how to use the core and pelvic floor as the system that it is and managing intra-abdominal pressure.
I don't know if I have an overactive bladder. But I go to the bathroom almost 12 to 15 times everyday. Can I still practice this so that I can reduce my bathroom trips?
These exercises can help with the feeling of constantly having to go to the bathroom by easing pelvic tension and tightness. The key is combine breathing with these movements.

I'm back for day 2.it worked for me in the first day! Thank you ❤. My pelvic strain was due to weighted exercises
Way to go on repeat! Keep using your breath & be gentle with yourself! You got this💕
I LOVE your videos! I had a sacrectomy a number of years ago and my hips are so tight and my lower back hurts often as a result. I just started doing your videos every day and they are helping me out so much! I recently started struggling with balance due to a foot injury and was wondering if you have anything to help regain balance.
So happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos and finding then helpful. That is so amazing! We do have a several videos just focused on balance like this one ruclips.net/video/yObTfpaGt3k/видео.html
Ive been struggling for seven years with UTI symptoms (no infection) and Azo only helps so much. Im going to try this, plus tegular yoga snd walking, and pray it helps me.
When there is no signs of infections sometimes a tight pelvic floor can be contributing (plus a number of other things so always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider). Breathing and feeling pelvic floor connection are key especially with exercises. Keep up the great work you got this 💗
I have been suffering OAB for many years, even had two bladder stimulator surgeries, they always stopped working. I can't wait to see if these exercises will finally help.
The key is how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling. Breathing is key for this. You'll have to keep us posted with how they go 💗
Her voice can heal some
Awww thank you ☺ Keep up the good work!
OMG THANK YOU! This is just helping through pain while experiencing a UTI! Thank you so much!

Hi there. So happy it helped.
Dear Dr Melissa Oleson. This work out seem very right for me as a have an over active bladder with frequency and bladder pressure.
My question is though; is it ok to do when you have a minor bladder prolapse which I do?
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks in advance❤️
Thanks for reaching out with your question! I always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider for what is best for you. The exercises in this video are also beneficial for prolapse, however it is all about how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling💗
Thanks sister. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Thanks so much! One question; a tennis ball under my ribs on the left side is fine, but on the right side it’s extremely painful. Is that my liver, of are those muscles just very tense..?
Yes this works i stoped feeing i have to go pee during this video. Make another one !!!
So amazing that you found this video helpful! We have several other videos on OAB on our channel and here is one of them ruclips.net/video/SLBTZKu9Fcg/видео.htmlsi=AVoll5g037qpeEnq Keep up the fabulous work!
Ive been dealing with pelvic floor disfunction or CPPS for several months and i finally have been loosening my pelvic floor and eliminated almost all my pain, however now out of nowhere o feel as though i always have to pee. Do i need to follow this video and keep loosening or do i need to tighten? Btw thank you so much for all the work you do on here.
It really depends on so many things and everyone is different. I like to take the approach of the pelvic floor in that it is a system that needs to both lengthen, relax, and contract. It is constantly moving throughout our day to meet the demands of our activities. It's about what you are feeling when you do the exercises and getting to the root cause. Breathing and posture are key for this 💗
Is it better now?
@cestmoimatilde no it's not, the good news is i have good days and bad days. I have also figured out certain things casue it to flair up so as lomg as I'm on top of then 9 tike out of 10 I'm good.
I cant empty my bladder fully, will these exercises help to cure it? Or is there any other way so plz tell me
Sometimes a cause of not being able to fully empty the bladder is from a tight pelvic floor. Gentle exercises like these coupled with breathing can help relax the pelvic floor making it easier to go to the bathroom. It's all about learning how to use your core & pelvic floor system. When there is too much intra-abdominal pressure this can lead to pelvic gripping and tension causing difficulty going to the bathroom, overactive bladder, leaks and more. We also have several other videos on our channel to help with tight pelvic floor that you might enjoy 💕
Very helpful! Thanks!
Amazing!! You are welcome, so glad to hear you found helpful 💕
I love your videos and do some of your pelvic floor workouts everyday. Can you create a video for frequent utis, especially for older women post menopause? Thanks so much for your work
Great suggestion, I have added it to the list. Thank you!
I was just searching easy better way to get my bladder stronger. I’m using the bathroom a lot even at night time. Hopefully this works
Yes keep me updated if you experience relief and if you need any further guidance!
Does this also help with nocturia? Ive been going a lot at night havent been getting enough sleep.
I will try these out hope i can do it right, breath in the right place and not mess it up. Thank you 🤗 ❤️ I love you 💕
Yes breathing is so important with these gentle stretches and doing before bed can also be helpful with nocturia! Hydration is another important factor and hormones can also play a role so seeing your healthcare provider for what is best for you!
Thank you, this is so helpful, and enjoyable. I’m going to practice this regularly. Namaste 🙏 ❤
You are welcome! So glad you enjoyed this! Keep up the great work!
Thank you doctor
I've peed around 20 times today and im tired of it. I've peed a lot for a couple weeks now. I got my kidneys, prostate and bladder checked and doc said they are normal and I even tested diabetes and my blood sugar is only around 82 and a1c is around 5.0. I refuse to take their meds for overactive bladder. I hope this vid help me. wish me luck.
Great job getting everything checked. Breathing is so important with these exercises! You will have to keep us posted with how the exercises go! Keep up the great work!
Hello, we have the same issue, . How is it with peeing after doing these exercise?
Thank you so much 😢I have been going through it
Keep up the great work you got this!
@@DrMelissaOleson 🤎💛
Is it better now? Did you do those exercices?
@@cestmoimatilde I went to acupuncture electric therapy in the foot of the nerve nothing was working for me but I'm giving this a try the therapy everybody is different it all depends on the body I haven't had kids or anything so my problem was different I think this would probably be good for me and I had kids the muscle is loose down there that wasn't my problem mine was at my bladder was irritated
Ever since I had my daughter this has been an issue!! ❤
I need this so bad. I'm tired of being in pain 😪
The breathing and gentle stretching can be super helpful. Keep up the good work!
Is it better now?
@@cestmoimatilde 100% and no meds.
@@Fortis_Bellator wow! Thank you for your answer. I want to pee all the time since 4 months. How many weeks did you workout with this video? Sorry for my english, i try my best :)
Hello and thanks for this video, very helpful and relaxing. Still a question, what is the sense of applying the tennis ball? It’s not very comfortable with that but I have tried. I’m doing the exercises so often during the week. Thanks from Austria
Glad you enjoyed this video! The ball is a myofascial release technique for the upper abdominals. This area can be tight from gripping and clenching. That tightness can inhibit how the diaphragm is working which is a major player in how the core and pelvic floor system works. By releasing this area it can help the breathing muscle length. Keep up the great work!
Hi Dr Melissa, can i do this exercise during pregnancy in the first trimester. I have been having the urge to pee constantly especially at night. Would appreciate some advise. Thank you so much.
Namaste maam
💫
Great thank you
Your welcome! Thanks for being here. 💕
I am hopeful that something can help . I had TSS back in my past because of tampons so I moved to pads then started using the diapers for piriods and recently I started endlessly tinkling lately at 45 . I once used to be athletic as a youth then had two kids and life had been living me for so long just keeping going . I will not be in diapers for peeing to now . I will try to update after I have tried them . I also lost 60 pounds and started micro working out trying to work all I can as much and as often threw out the day . I now see that my workouts having lunges in them kind of is what has been helping some by spreading the hips . So I was helping with things I just started doing like a week ago . So patient healed thyself works here lol .
Amazing keep up the good work and let us know how you are progressing !
I have had both knees replaced and can't get down on them like this. I also am a pretty large woman and can't get down on the floor so do you have some exercises for this condition that can be done standing up!
We have some all standing videos for knees and core exercises, but such a great suggestion. I will add an all standing class for pelvic floor relaxation for OAB. Stay tuned! Keep up the great work 💕
hii doctor Melissa i take different medications for my uti but still it's not working even though the results of bacteria is few but my urgency to urinate is still high my mother gave up since i have another medication for my heart so i decided to take exercises and natural remedies i only have a symptoms frequency to urinate only that one and its so convenient as a student is this exercise really helpful to my bladder? pls answer i just done this today and if you have tips pls reply
When dealing with OAB, do you recommend only release and stretching and stop strengthening?
So many sources are conflicting. I’ve been dealing with urgency since my late teens, I’ll be 35 in a couple weeks. “Kegels” have never done me any good. Been to two PTs and have only been instructed strengthening movements.
Such a great question & it all depends on how you are doing the exercises. The key is learning to manage intra-abdominal pressure, when there is too much pressure this can lead to tightness and gripping in the pelvic floor which can cause OAB. Things that create too much pressure could be how the exercises are done, sucking in abs, holding breath and so much more. So for my clients we work on releasing the pelvic floor and getting to the root cause of the tightness and then learning how to manage intra-abdominal pressure.
Does it's works for men?coz i just to know from doctor that i had anxiety bladder 😔
I did these exercises in bed. Is that ok to do them in bed? I just felt so tired but have the urge to start and do something for my urinary incontinence.
I love that you did them in bed! It's all about doing what feels best for your body so way to go!!
Thank you let me try if it helped me as I have been suffering OVB pls suggest me more exercise
Glad this was helpful! We have another video for overactive bladder coming out in the next couple weeks.
Thank you waiting for that video dear
Do I have to do all of these exercises at once or just any one of them?
Everyone is different with what works best for them. The key with the exercises is how you are doing them and what you are feeling while doing them to relax the pelvic floor💕
For OAB do we just do these exercises or also do pelvic floor strengthening exercises as well?
Great question and it all depends! It's learning how to use the core and pelvic floor through by managing intra-abdominal pressure. You do this through breathing and posture for your pelvic floor. Breathing is so important with these exercises.
This exercise only took 1 time to heal my overactive bladder!!! Omg thank you I was peeing every 10 minutes!😢😅
Love this! So awesome!!! Keep up the great work and glad to hear you found this helpful!
Thanks so much for this!
Happy to help!!!
Hi there
Im 53 years old &.For a year & a half ive been suffering with constant utis..
The only symptoms i have are an overactive bladder, leakage when i laugh or cough..
A very uncomfortable Feeling that my bladder is constantly full & it hasn't emptied completely & every time i pee its a tiny amount...
An absolute nightmare,
ive taken antibiotics so many times, yet the e-coli just
won't shift..😢
Will these exercises help me in any way..
Even i am having the same problem of constant utis from 2 years and now after multiple urine test all i am having is just urge of frequent urination and peeing all the time
2 months back i used to have this dry throat problem and frequent urination. Whether going to bank or any other place. I started doing this once a day after 2 months feel so much better though i still have a dry throat, but my frequent urination problems are almost gone.
So glad you found this video helpful! Keep up the great work!
I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis years ago after I had my firstborn in 2013. Then years later another Dr said she thinks it’s overactive bladder. Food and certain drinks to tend to aggravate the bladder. It can be debilitating and cause anxiety and depression. I have two children to care for at home. It gets stressful and stress makes it worse. Do you think there’s a correlation with these conditions and pelvic floor issues being the culprit? I did have two c-sections. My bladder was significantly worse after pregnancy and having children. But what I struggle with is when these bladder flares come at times and it’s so debilitating and I’m embarrassed to be around anyone because of how bad the spasms get for hours and I just keep feeling the urge to urinate and keep peeing. It’s 95% of the time not an infection.
I always recommend checking in with your healthcare provider and a pelvic floor physical therapist can be so helpful for your exact needs. I have found for my clients the pelvic floor is involved and working on breathing and position changes, things throughout their day, and combination of a few exercises they can get some relief.

Does this really help. I've been suffering with OAB 11yrs now.
Dr's took my money n still no relief.
I'm 50 n lives in the Caribbean Islands..
Please any feedback will be greatly appreciated.
It's all about getting to the root cause of OAB. Learning how to use the core and pelvic floor as a system and manage intra-abdominal pressure. This starts with breathing and posture for your pelvic floor. How you do the exercises are what matters most.
Hi doctor iam 19 and i have been suffering from frequent urination and pain in the pelvic area.i have consulted many doctors and I didn't get any changes and any relief to my problem
I dont know which type of pelvic floor exercises should i do? Pls reply and help me
I have issue uterus fibroid heavy due to this I m facing urine problems since 1 year, can I do this exercise
Thank you😢
You're welcome!
When performing these exercises, how long does it take for your bladder to get better?
It all depends. The most important this is how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling. Getting to the root cause of OAB is key and learning how to use the core and pelvic floor as the system it is. Breathing and posture are key for this. Some notice a difference right away, some takes longer.
I have oab after delvry .
ill start these excerse let u guys know
Yes we'd love to know how these go for you! The breathing is key with the movements as well. We also have a few other videos on our channel on this topic you might enjoy. Keep up the great work!
Hi, i am suffering from multiple Sclerosis and I don't have control below my waist, spasticity in my limbs which will restrict me from straightening sideways, urine control also I have lost. Please help me out
Thank you ❤
I’m only 19 and I suffer from ibs so hopefully this helps. I hate the feeling of having to urinate all the time
Keep up the great work!
did it work?
@@saamiyajaffer5572 yes! It’s been very helpful
@@shea7534 How many times did you do it
@@shea7534 and how do you stop the frequent urination?
Mam,can OAB linked to IBS?
Hey doctor!
Whenever I pee it doesn't come out all at once it drips little by little time to time and I have to put pressure to release urine
Which exercise should I do?
Did you find anything?
Is this beneficial for mens
Absolutely! These are helpful for men!
Hey doctor i am 18 yr old male i have the problem in which i feel urine sensation in my penile , so can i perform this exercises? Also should i add kegels?
Can men do same exercise to eliminate oab symptoms
Absolutely! We also have a few videos on our channel for men as well too you might enjoy!
How many times a week can I do this? Can I do it after every workout like Monday to Friday?
Great question & everyone is different so listening to your body is key. Some do these daily, some every couple of days, and some when needed. It's more about how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling that matters most 💗
Would you recommend just these stretches for an overactive pelvic floor before delivery??? Also, no kegels if you have and overactive pelvic floor correct?
Everyone is different and it's about learning how to manage intra-abdominal pressure. When there is too much pressure this can lead to gripping and tightness which can contribute to overactive bladder. So it's about learning to both relax and lengthen and then activate pelvic floor.
After how long these exercises start working on body? When i can get to normal
Everyone is different. Consistency is key and it is all about how you are doing the exercises and what you are feeling that matters most. Some have noticed relief right about some it takes a little longer. Keep up the great work!
Never drink water when you standing.Instead of this always drink your water by sitting.Your bladder will be relax by time
I'll try this one and I'm gonna do an update in a month hehehe ❤
Yes please let us know how you go ! ❤
Where are you where is update plz
Update guys i was overhydrated because uti after delvring the baby i was worried so that it doesnt happen again i was drinking tones of water
Omg sorry for the late reply but it definitely helped me yess it helped me
I'm 28 and my OAB is only getting worse. Can't leave my home anymore because of it. I feel like I need to pee all the time and it's making me depressed. Will try this at least once a day. Hopefully it will work since nothing else does. Been to the doctors and medicine doesnt give any affect sadly.
You are not alone this is common, but so many things that can help. Learning how to use your core and pelvic floor system is key. It's all about managing intra-abdominal pressure, too much pressure causes pelvic tension and tightness which contributes to OAB, leaks, pains, and more. Breathing and posture are key for this. You'll have to keep us posted with how these exercises go. We also have several other videos on our channel for OAB. Keep up the great work 💕
Did you find the solution? 😢
Suffering from the same kind of problem, did you find any kind of solutions?
Thanks.
Hii I am 15 will this help mam?
I can get up in the am, not drink anything, urinate 3 times, & still need bathroom breaks to drive 100 miles. I hope these help!
Breathing is so important with these movements as well. It's learning how to use the core and pelvic floor as the system that it is and managing intra-abdominal pressure.
I don't know if I have an overactive bladder. But I go to the bathroom almost 12 to 15 times everyday. Can I still practice this so that I can reduce my bathroom trips?
These exercises can help with the feeling of constantly having to go to the bathroom by easing pelvic tension and tightness. The key is combine breathing with these movements.
How many days should do these exercise plse tell me
Everyone is different in what works best for them 💕
