Conditions of chronic pelvic pain are often caused by tightness in the pelvic floor. As many as one in seven people suffer from chronic pelvic pain, often spending years trying to receive a proper explanation and diagnosis for their pain.

The pelvic floor muscles, the sling-like group of muscles that support the pelvic organs, can become tight or restricted for various reasons. In some instances, the restriction in the pelvic floor muscles is caused by poor posture, a fall, injury, surgery, or emotional trauma.

Stress can cause people to clench the pelvic floor in a subconscious protectionary manner, leading to trigger points, or knots, in the pelvic floor muscles.

The good news is that it is possible to release the muscles by using gentle pelvic floor stretches, using a trigger point release wand, and practicing relaxing the pelvic floor.

What is Pelvic Floor Release?


Pelvic Floor Release Stretches

Gentle stretches or poses commonly used in yoga are helpful in releasing or relaxing the pelvic floor.

When the stretches are coupled with relaxed breathing, it is possible to learn to observe when the muscles have become clenched and to consciously relax to them to avoid a flare-up in pelvic pain.

Exercises to Release the Pelvic Floor Muscles


Using a Pelvic Floor Trigger Point Wand

The pelvic floor muscles can develop knots, also referred to as trigger points or tender points. These trigger points can be highly sensitive and painful, and when pressed can refer pain to other parts of the body.

They can develop due to strain or stress on the muscles or chronic clenching. Pelvic floor muscle trigger point release can be performed vaginally or rectally using a trigger point wand (PFM wand).

The Intimate Rose patented pelvic therapy wand and vibrating wand were designed to ergonomically reach both the superficial and deep pelvic floor muscles to release trigger points and tender points in the pelvic floor.
