Do you have a headache in your pelvis?

If you have discomfort, pain, or other symptoms in the pelvic floor, perineum, pelvis, lower abdomen, low back, groin, or genitals, massage and myofascial release can be of great benefit. Pelvic floor muscles are the foundation of the core, and problems can stem from overuse, disuse, misuse, and abuse, as well as mental and emotional stress. Some evidence has shown that the pelvic floor muscles can cause pain and sexual dysfunction. In addition to some conventional medical treatment such as anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers, pelvic floor and prostate massage with myofascial release massage  can be an effective therapeutic option for both treatment and prevention of pelvic floor pain times called Category III chronic prostatitis.  A strong pelvic floor can increase your power in your core.

Some risk factors for developing pelvic floor pain/ nonbacterial chronic prostatitis include Cycling.  Cycling has a much higher potential to adversely affect the pelvic floor (including the genitals) due to direct and significant compression of these tissues by the bicycle seat (regardless of protective equipment). If you must cycle then routine pelvic floor massage and core strengthening exercises i.e. kettle bell, pilates and yoga can help mitigate some of the injury.

Prostate massage or “Prostate Milking” and pelvic floor myofascial release increases circulation and reduces suffering in many cases. Improving circulation can also increase the effectiveness of medicines. Few things compare with the simplicity and effectiveness of strengthening your pelvic floor muscles and reflexes. Physicians have prescribed prostate massage for centuries, as it is one of the oldest therapies and when done by a trained professional for the right candidate it can have many beneficial effects.

Benefits of prostate and pelvic floor massage:

1.    This complimentary alternative treatment helps in draining the seminal fluids, which have been collected and creates pressure in a lot of cases leading to inflammation.

2.    Pelvic floor massage helps to relax the tension and stress many men carry in the muscles of the pelvis, causing discomfort along the nerve endings in the prostate area. Men could truly feel relaxed when the muscles of the pelvic floor and prostate gland are massaged.

3.    Pelvic floor massage increases the circulation to the prostate gland, providing nourishment and oxygen.
