A side note. Breathing in really deep ALSO really helps oxygenate the blood which helps the whole body but most important while exhaling from a deep breath you are moving and cleaning the lymphatic system (the body sewage system) 15 times it's idle breathing rate. This will help with body endurance and energy simply because it is not working so hard fighting the toxins that you just removed by deep breathing. This is why athletes have a much lower sickness and death rate than the general public because their body is so clean of toxins. Also, deep breathing relaxes and releases stress from the body and helps to reset the stress hormone back to normal function. Excellent advice in this video.
You are literally a life saver. I would go to the bathroom 3 times in the middle of the night. I tried your method and was pleasantly surprised to visit the restroom only ONCE!!! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! You and Dr. Mandell are the two best doctors on RU-vid!😊
Thanks for this video. I'm wondering if people who have had both hips replacement surgery and have developed a sedentary lifestyle are at greater risk of developing bladder issues?
I'm in the process of retraining my bladder based on yours & others teachings This is supposed to correct to normal bladder function 1. I do your pelvic floor exercise 2 or 3 times a day 2. I do 20 kegal contractions after each time I have a pee 3. I try sometimes unsuccessfully to resist having a pee when I get the first urge 4. I find it hard to hold my pee after the first urge 5. Dr Eric do you have any tips for holding my pee when I get the first urge 6. I was informed that this method alongside kegal contractions & exercise will retrain the bladder in 6 weeks if done religiously Please help
Thanks. One of my issues is that with my knee problems it’s difficult for me to be as flexible as much as I need to be for the floor exercises. I think I’ll get a pt referral to help me build the strength to do these.
Yes I think that would definitely help you! There's a colleague of mine here on youtube (he's also a physiotherapist) that can help you with this: @morelifehealth
Yes, they will help you hold your bladder a bit better. You’ll also need to look at what fluids you’re putting into your body. Ex: caffeine and sodas can irritate the bladder and act as a diuretic along with alcohol.
Yes all should be fine for you to do except for the warrior 1 lunge (last exercise in the video). When you do this exercise just skip the part where you extend your arms and chest to the ceiling 💪
Not a dumb question at all. I would pick one stretch to do right before you do your kegels. For example: Do the happy baby stretch and complete 2 sets of 30 sec holds and then jump into your Kegels.
Yes they can. Especially the Kegels exercise. There could be a few other reasons for your weak flow. Check out this video I made on this topic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qhMUns1Fv4Y.html
If you're strength training, it's more likely that your pelvic floor is too tight, not weak. Try this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TFehvry2TVA.htmlsi=AXMB_Vzt5V7LE1V4
