Bro you're a life saver. You and Wim Hof. My symptoms started in may and continued for months. They were on and off. Pain in the penis, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, frequent urination, rectal pain, burning feet, hard flaccid, premature ejaculation (literally seconds, while flaccid) and pain after ejaculation which lasts for days. Went into depression and anxiety to the point I didn't wanna talk to anyone, just stayed in my room googling, even ended up losing my girlfriend. I visited every urologist in my city and did all tests under the sun. Urine pcr tests, urine cultures, semen cultures, biopsies, blood tests, ultra sound, diabetes test. Everything came back negative. In the beginning of November I ran across your video. Started the stretching, plus the Wim Hof breathing exercise. My daily routine is as follows. First thing in the morning I drink coffee, emptying the bowls daily is a MUST. Then 22 mins of stretching. At some point during the day 10 mins of Wim Hof breathing exercise (doesn't have to be daily), then another 22 mins of stretching exercises before bed. It's been a month now following this routine. Symptoms are almost completely gone. Some flare ups every now and then but only last for a short time. Erectile dysfunction is gone, premature ejaculation is gone, even realized that controlling the breathing delays it significantly and lets u take control, plus makes the refractory period almost instant. I am by no means a doctor but my personal conviction is that this all is mental. It is caused by stress and suppressed emotions. This causes contractions in the muscles which leads to the mentioned symptoms. The combination of stretching and breathing exercises is the optimal solution. Controlling the breathing fights the cause which is stress and stretching heals the contractions caused by stress. This is by no means a disease. It is a dysfunction that needs constant work. First step is to take the necessary tests though, to rule out any infection. I hope my comment helps others, I know going through this is hell in itself.
I have pain in my scrottom and penis ‘ it moves around’ I had an mri done when it was bad and everything looked good in the mri’ Then I saw a urologist’ he said it is Prostatitis . he gave me medications’ it made me feel lethargic’ so stopped it . I have been dealing with bad anxiety as well. I have had erectile dysfunction . Ended up today in this video.. how to deal with suppressed emotions!! ?? !!
@@travelingfornewviews5070 first stop doing jerking or checkung your penis just do stretches, 30 minutes walk daily, don't take so much stress about it,try to get aroused by without hand stimulation but will work definitely but take time
Sir, you gave me my life back at the age of 22 I felt my life was over after 8 months of multiple tests, multiple rounds of antibiotics did these stretches 2 times a day along with sitz bath and my pain is 95% gone .Thank you soo much
You are welcome! A sitz bath sounds interesting. Going to add that to the list of things to look into! I don't need it now, but others might get better faster with that info.
Hi there. This video changed everything for me around 3 years ago. These basic stretches done consistently paired with going to your website gave me all the tools I need to heal and maintain my health. I have not missed evening of stretching since I first watched this video. I bought a standing desk, stretch, take cold chowers, do breathwork, and stay positive. It tooks around 6 months of persistent discipline. I'm coming back here now to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're an absolute hero.
@@nursha2021 not really pain for me. More having the urge to use the bathroom a lot at night. I forgot to mention that I went to a urologist to rule out anything serious then had them refer me to a physical therapist to give me more stretching options for my pelvic floor.
Great video but you should consider making an edited version of this. 2 minute timers that begin at the appropriate places would let people play this video and follow along without needing to get up and pause.

Guys, I’ve had CCPPS symptoms on and off since I was 22 years old. I’m 43 now. It comes and it goes. Sometimes I’m 100% healthy for YEARS. Absolutely no symptoms and sometimes it comes back for days, weeks, months. I’ve had all the symptoms - shooting pains in the dick, feeling like a golf ball is stuck in my rectum, burning during and after peeing, head of penis pain, you name it. I’ve learned a lot over the years and the number one thing I can advise to cure this issue is you need to RELAX your mind and anxieties and believe you will beat this 100%. Do your stretches. Ian is right, this is caused by a combination of anxiety and clenching your pelvic region unconsciously. Workout at least 30 minutes a day if you can. It doesn’t have to be extreme, just something to get your heart rate up and endorphins flowing, see a pelvic PT if that is feasible for you, they are great and can really help you but you can beat it without seeing a pelvic floor PT regardless. Plus they are expensive and I know we don’t always have the extra money. Try to stay off the doom and gloom internet. People do get better and then disappear after bitching about their symptoms on the chat rooms and CZcams channels. That’s proof enough that they beat it! If they didn’t beat it they would still be here saying woah is me and feeding you more doom and gloom saying you can’t get better. That’s absolute BS! You will get better, you will beat this! You might have flares from time to time but knowing that you can and will beat this and symptoms will again fade is half the battle to victory over this syndrome.
I’m dealing with the same thing. Had a flare up two years ago and beat this. Now I’m back in it again and worse than ever. I feel my life is falling apart and I’m trying to put it back together!!I’m hopeful I will be this and i would give anything to live a normal life like I once did!
Good morning, brother. I have two months with this and I am desperate and inpatient. I am so...worry about cronic paint and the negative effect in my sexual life.
I am 43 years old, exercise daily, eat healthy, and I got this situation. I got inspired by your comments.. One of the best Urologist in Houston said his best alternative to care the problem is pt.
I suffered from Prostatitis for over a year, fifteen years ago, in my early 20s. It slowly went away, after 11 months no help from antibiotics, and I almost forgot what the symptoms felt like. It came back two weeks ago. I'm trying to do everything I can this time. CZcams didn't even exist back when I had it the first time. There is so much more information out there now. I went to my Urologist and he started me right away on Cipro(4 weeks) and Flomax (1month). And now I'm searching for anything else that I can do to help alleviate the symptoms. Last night was bad. The first half of today was decent, but I'm not doing well now. It's obvious there is more at play here. Stress and anxiety make it worse for me. Which makes it harder to empty my bladder fully, which feeds the cycle. Thank you for making this video. Im starting right now. The emotional impact of this condition is almost worse for me. It ruined me 15 years ago. I can't have that happen again.
@@gamesmaster1060 I'm feeling pretty good lately. I took Cipro for 4 weeks, along with Flomax (generic) and the stretching routine every morning, and sometimes at night too. I have continued the Flomax, as it really does help with emptying the bladder and urine flow. My Urologist said I could stop it any time and see how I feel. The common side effects were apparent at first, but come and go. 80% of the time, I don't experience them. The main thing is that I'm emptying my bladder much better than before. Ive been on it for a couple months now, and I may try to stop it for a week and see how I feel. He wrote me a 1-year prescription so I can re-fill it anytime without having to go back to the office. A big difference now is really the support and information on the internet too. 15 years ago, the internet was not much of anything. I lost hope way back then. Seeing these videos, and talking to a new Urologist really changed my outlook. If I do have a not-so-good day, I don't get really down about it. I also know not to force and strain. I know the feeling now and I know what it is. Back 15 years ago, I thought I really had to pee more. But it was just swelling in the prostate giving me that feeling. I think part of the reason it hung around for so long back then was because I kept straining and forcing to try and get more out. It was like a self-fulfilling prophecy, in a sense. I also know now to abstain from any sexual activities for a few days during a "flare up".
Starting your treatment methods now, been down the antibiotic medication route for months...taking quercetin and pumpkin seed oil with a quality pro biotic now. Told urologist to kick rocks. I'm hoping with your stretches and techniques I can beat this
Dude, I can't thank you enough for these. I'm 21, got this pain in my rectum at 18 right after I graduated high-school. I became unbelievably depressed, I'd never tell the souls around me but I made a promise to myself that at 25 I'd probably kill myself if this condition never got better and I couldn't live the life I wanted. I was weak, and I can't believe I went to that dark of a place. I felt I couldn't be the person I wanted. I would sit down and not stand up for hours because I knew as soon as I stood up I'd get a shooting pain through my rectal area, reminding me that I still had this demon living in me. I'd try to lift weights with friends and be in agony at home. Let them down when I would avoid lifts I was so enthusiastic to try. During all this I saw multiple specialists, none could help me. I even had surgery, none of it helped. Then the rectal doctor said my pelvic floor was tight and prescribed a medication for muscle relaxant. Symptoms went 80% away, I couldn't stay on it forever and saw a physical therapist. Those sessions were so painful, but she made me feel a lot better after. I concluded my meetings with her with around 85% solved. I found your channel just did these stretches and feeling damn near 100%. I got an ebook reader so I can finally order your book when it arrives as I'll be shipping to basic training for the AirForce in about a month and want every bit of help I can. Thank you for everyone who recognizes this unbelievably debilitating ailment. I see most have to suffer through it to understand. I also started laugh/crying doing the legs on wall stretch, nothing like feeling chronic pain melt away.
@@Tempplee sorry to hear my friend, I totally understand where your head is right now and the darkness you are in. I'm not out of it yet either completely. I've gotten to manageable levels but sometimes, like when I eat really hot food it creeps back in. So I don't have much pain in adductors, but the legs on wall stretch is unbelievably painful in that region. Now that I've been stretching daily it's not as bad. I have pain just around the rectum, it's a sore feeling. When I stop pissing, and you flex those muscles to stop the flow, that's when I get the most pain. I sometimes have a burning sensation in my penis when I have bad days. I don't get an abdominal pain. Just pain around the rectum almost exclusively. I've also found that my hamstrings are probably the tightest out of everything. Again, I can't say much, I've been there too and still have lingering mental issues from this curse, but hold on. Truly. Keep trying new methods, we always think that the body aging will make everything worse but sometimes the body is too good at things and this is why we hurt. Don't rule out the idea that your pain can decrease in the future. Best of luck, and keep stretching.
@@Director_yahya never go in for surgery if you truly have this issue. I did that and truly regret it. Eat foods that are good for you. If that is hard, find something else in life to give you that kick of dopamine that you get from food. I've noticed when I have a really good show I don't care as much about food cravings. You can't see food as a happy drug, only as nutrition. Stretch as often as possible. Always try to put your legs in positions where they can get proper blood flow. Flex and stretch whenever you feel a little stiff. Breathe deep, with your stomach. Imagine your muscles relaxing. Actually picture them in your head relaxing. Try to not get stressed, remind yourself that time will pass regardless if you worry or not. Stay in the moment, and do NOT dwell on your issue. If you become obsessed it will just make you stress more. Always see yourself outside of your injury, your injury does not define you.
Thank you Soo much At first i was planning for a surgery but let me try your idea first and if it will help me i will find you wherever you are and help you too
For the many of you watching this who just came down with this awful ailment, you can beat it in less than 6 months if you are persistent with the exercises. You do not have cpps. You have pelvic floor dysfunction (pfd). Ian is a godsend and I love his videos. These stretches are a staple in my routine. Thanks!
hi bro! finally i found his videoes and the diagnose (cpps), after almost a year with antibiotics and "prostatits". How did the exercises work for you? You are doing it every day? Ive been doing that for 1 week and became better. But after ejaculation the pains really came back..
@@arashamirian8148 I had frequent urination, pain in my perineum, and ED. Took me about 3 months to get to about 95% cured after I knew what was happening. Number one is managing anxiety and two, strengthen the ABS and glutes. Stretching helps but will only give temporary relief
@@Frontsided thank you for replying mate . Im in the beginning of this journey and today was my first day stretching but need to manage my anxiety level as its insane . Are you 100% now ?
@@arashamirian8148 close. I get mild flare ups if I sit for a long time. Just got to keep working on stretching and strengthening muscles that support the pelvicfloor and I'll be good. It's a long healing process but we get there with persistence.
Been doing for two days and breathing exercises…feel about 75% better already. Insane how simple stretching and breathing can effect so much. Thank you so much you are a life saver!
@@mackosajt86 100%...then I took a long trip and was traveling for about 45 hours over a 7 day period, sleep messed up, not doing stretches etc. and started to flare up again....began routine again a few days ago and feeling much better...but not 100% yet.
@@bhooper5624 this comment gave me hope and made me hopeless at the same time lol :D it is nice that u can recover 100 percent this fast. but even after full recovery, there is a flare risk. I don't want to live my life with the paranoi of flare. I just want to recover and not worry about flare. I know not everything I want happens in life but to me definition of full recovery is this.
The leg on the wall stretch immediately fixed my lower back pain on my left side. The more I stretched my toes to point left the better the feeling. Honestly the greatest feeling I’ve had in ages as my back pain was really effecting my daily life . I’ll do it every day
Thank you so much for this video! Seriously!! I had only been in pain for a month, but when I called the doctor about it (phone consultation instead of a visit due to COVID-19) I was told it could be testicular torsion and I should go straight to hospital as a medical emergency. Panicked, I headed straight to the hospital, only to have bloods taken, wait 8 hours in a waiting room (up the walls with worry having been told that it could be testocular torsion!) to be seen by a doctor who told me that there was nothing wrong with me. He said "Its not torsion, and it doesn't look like there's any infection. I cant see what wrong with you. You shouldn't be in the emergency room" and walked out. I was left to feel like i was imagining the pain, that I had wasted his time and that I had medical anxiety or something. It wasn't until I did further research (MYSELF) that I discovered it was a pelvic muscular issue. Doing the stretches in this video have nearly completely healed the pain (I've only been doing it a few days but already there is a HUUUUGE difference!!) Before all this started, I was jogging long distances regularly and was doing core workouts everyday. So when it came to doing the cobra stretch in this video (which i have done before no problem) I was so tense in the abdomen that I could barely stretch!! 😂 Doing the cobra (along with the other stretches) everyday for the past few days has almost completely healed the pain. I've gone from thinking id need my testicles removed due to a doctor, to feeling like I was imagining the pain due to another doctor, to having the pain acknowledged and healed due to you Ian. Thank you!
Hey Evan just read your description, did one testicle hurt at all for you? As well did it almost feel like the cord to your testicle was swollen? I’ve been in and out of doctors, been on antibiotics and nothing has helped. Hoping to find this to work
@@Stewdinkski Hey! Both of my testicles and the scrotum were sore. (Actually, one did hurt more than the other, but this alternated. One day the left was more painful, and the next day the right could be more painful). I cant say for certain if I felt like the chords in particular were swollen or sore, because literally everything down there was sore 😂 But I've been doing these stretches every morning and night, and the pain has gone :)
Cure CPPS interesting! Ya I’ve only got the one testicle hurting but antibiotics for epididymitus did nothing. Hoping with these stretches it goes away. Did you ever have a shorter routine?
You legend!! I am smiling as I do these stretches as it's the first bit of relief I have felt from this condition in a long time. Suffered for almost 4.5 years now. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I swear that is so beautiful for me watching a lot of people under this video finally finding a relief after years of struggling also because of people that sell fake solution for a ton of money. This is only pure and kind information and you are a special person.
Bro i love you. 23 male here, been back and forth to the doctor about prostatis, negative results, no relief in pain. This has been a godsend. Only three days in and i feel marginally better
Same im 25, having this for about year now, when i first started doing the stretches i felt really hopeful and great relief, but after 2 weeks, my body still feels like shit, the stress prostatis causes is insane, im having low fever all the time also, was curious how did it go for you?
@@_1z_ you might have a bacterial infection if youre running a fever, my brotha. The stretches have 95% eliminated the pain and the trips to the bathroom. I dont reccomend doctors for much, but if you havent, get tested and see if there is any bacteria or whatever present in your prostate. The stretches helped relieve the on-going golf-ball in your crotch feeling and that has helped me in doing normal activities to lower my stress/on top of not stressing because of that pain. I was suffering with this shit for 3 years and all my tests were negative and i even tried going to the doc again last year, only to be told that they found nothing (did another urine analysis and a bladder ultrasound because with the prostate symptoms, i also been having issues fully empyting my bladder). Id recommend taking Saw Palmetto and pumpkinseed oil to aid in your recovery if in fact your prostate is inflamed. Supplements like that did help for some time but the stretches and stress management have helped tremendously
@@_1z_ also, man to man, refrain from beatin yo shit or having too much sex. Might not affect you but it sure as hell made my symptoms way worse or flared them up. It’s not forever and im not saying dont do it at all, but definitely cut back especially if your shit bothering you. Good luck homie
@@Anthony-cp9se hello mate . I have the same symptoms you had . Its all started last week . I havs cytoscopy and ultrasound appointment next week but u know doctors won't help as there is no sign of any infection in my blood urin and semen . I started the stretches from today and change my diet and ordered same supplements you mentioned too I hope it will help me to get rid of this crap it drives me insane ! Is there any chance that we could talk so i can get some tips and advice from you and how you recovered . Thanks bro 🙏
Thank you so much. I've been diagnosed with depression and have severe stress. I recently got diagnosed and I felt about 10% normal. I always feel like to pee around 20 minutes and it was always tense around my private area even when I didn't feel like to pee. these stretches brought me to about 40% back to normal and I have hope. nothing else I've tried seemed to help as much like hot baths. you have renewed my hope. thank you again.
I actually have the same problem. I always have a pressure on my bladder even directly after urinating. It makes me crazy. It feels I have to go all the time and around this area it feels tight that I have also breathing problems sometimes. I tried Oxybutynin and Betmiga to stop the urinating a little bit but the side effects are uncomfortable. Anyone has an advice about this peeing feeling sensation?
@@flyingdutchman8829 i also tried oxybutynin for a month, but it didn't do anything for me. i suggest looking into bldder retraining. I've been doing it for like 4 months now and I can say it helped me. don't over do it, just go slowly and increment slowly at a time
@@andrewwoan where can I find that training? Are there some exercises in CZcams for that? I was thinking about an injection also in the pelvic or Botox in the bladder. Oxybutynin helps me actually for not peeing long time and it helps immediately. Just the side effects are bad. I have emselex as well here but never tried it yet
@@flyingdutchman8829 it's not exactly a stretch, see more here: www.ucsfhealth.org/education/bladder-training#:~:text=Bladder%20Retraining%20Instructions%201%20Empty%20your%20bladder%20as,techniques%20like%20deep%20breathing.%20...%20More%20items...%20. essentially you hold your pee for longer that usual and slowly increase your time. this way your body knows to pee when your bladder is more full than usual and thus "retrains" the bladder from spasming too earl
@@flyingdutchman8829 it's difficult because your never sure whether to hold it or go. And then sometimes when you wanna go you can't or there's not much there. But if you fight the anxiety then you'll already start making progress. It will take time so don't lose patience
Holy shiit and I thought I was going crazy. I was like too much sex? Infection? Prostate cancer? Thank God for this video. I had done multiple urine culture, 1x cystoscopy, antibiotics, flomax and none helped. I felt like I was going to give birth from the pressure around my groin. Thank you so much.

I've been doing 1-6 for one week now and the past three days I've felt incrementally better than I have in a very long time. I'm also taking your advice on taking walks. I'm off sugar and I follow each stretch by pressure massaging painful regions and follow that with a hot bath morning and night. In the past twelve months I've had random days where I felt better out of the blue but never an incremental improvement. Three days of 'comfort' is my record from February and tomorrow could be a record-breaking day four. Fingers crossed man!!!
Good for you! Once you've got that down, move into the mind control stuff. There are better books out there than what I provide. Find somebody you resonate with. I loved "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living Your Life," but now I'm reading "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins and it's amazing. In the end though, that's also practice - controlling your thoughts, planning things to look forward to, and letting life do its thing while you fight on.
@@CureCPPS Thanks for the reply! Mentally speaking I've been in a wonderful place since April, it's just been very hard dealing with the urgency. I'm happy, singing on my walks, and planning for the future so we're good on that front. That and I've had the *best* support from my co-workers, friends, family, and above all wife :)
Muscle relaxers are one day cures. You need to stretch everyday, foam roll and never get mad. Then you can proceed to not getting anxiety. That happens when you face your fear (whatever gives you anxiety, breathe and say this is nothing to be afraid of. I'm not going to let this fear make me feel inferior. When you're afraid or anxious of anything, your pelvic muscles tighten up and (I) have frequent urination. When you feel anxious, you can take deep breaths (breathe into your stomach) and relax. That's what I did and it helped me.
Thank you for sharing. Starting these tonight, after 2 lumbar surgeries and a 4 layer stem cell lumbar operation, 2 hernias and a 4 layer c-spine disk replacement with fusion it's time to slowly get back into shape again and run half marathons.
It’s crazy how much the calf stretch helps Like I started to fell looser and then a few days later could feel that it had a ripple effect on pelvic issues, less pain !
dude you are my life saver. I haven't been sleeping well for more than a week I had to keep waking up at 4 to 5 in the morning whenever I felt pelvic pain. it's my second day to follow your stretches routine, I slept well lastnight thank you.
OMFG...why has it taken me 10 months of pain to do this!!! I’ve got 4 weeks until I’m back at work, I really hope to be much better if I stay consistent with these! Thank you so much bro, you’ve no idea how much you’re helping people! 🙏👍
I had a lot of pelvic pain for 2 months to the point I would just lay down and sit to not feel pain. I could barely walk. I also would barely eat. Then I the found this video and I did the first exercise the squat stretch I did it for 2 min and holy hell 90% of the pain went away. I started doing these stretches 3 to 4 times a day for a month and I can finally walk and do stuff now. I also started realizing how all the stretches help in their own way.
Thank you so much for this amazing video.I am suffering from chronic prostatitis almost 1 year ago.Tried every possible way (including medications-herbals- prostatic massage) nothing gave me a relief .But your video definitely did.Thanks again,
brother I have also gone through all those symptoms but my additional symptoms is between a week gap during bowel movements white sticky fluid get discharge from my urethra and start more burning in the tip of penis. did you also have symptoms? are this discharge is also symptoms ko chronic prostatitis ? I will be grateful if you tell how did you get fine
Thank you Ian.. this video has literally changed my life and given me hope. I've lived in pain for over 30 years. These stretches are helping and taking away the discomfort of this decades long problem. Thank you again St.Jimbo
I was at a dead-end and by a miracle I found this video and other Pelvic Pain Related videos with various stretchings. I sure do hope it helps you as much as its done for me. Take it slow....and keep me posted on how you're doing.
I have had some nasty episodes and your exercises have been wonderful. I cannot believe the difference and how quickly it has relieved the problem. Thanks so much.
I couldn't stop laughing when after 20 mins of researching these videos all I saw were females explaining In depth topics.. and then I clicked on your video and you jumped right into exercises and they actually helped me.
I could cry because watching these videos and reading your website guide I feel hope for the first time in forever. I’ve had prostatitis / CPPS problems for over a decade now. I just had another immense flare up last week and again, new antibiotic. They’ve never found any bacteria or any anomalies in any of my tests or exams. I have started and wanted to ask, is it possible to stretch too much starting out and make the symptoms worse? I did my stretching this morning then felt like someone kicked my right nut about an hour later and have felt a pulling burning in the pelvis right above the right nut. It’s so hard to believe this can get better but I am going to follow your guide and pray!
I do think you can overstretch, and you're not the first to report it. Use pain as your guide. And try to relax while you stretch! Breathe deep and savor that breath. And also, thank you for this comment. I'm glad I can do something to help. Been a crazy time for everybody.
Cure CPPS I did have one other question, I think on your website I read that you learned how to do pelvic floor trigger points right through your clothes and was wondering if that was something you ever did a video on. I understand at first those can be rough but can really aid in recovery so was hoping to learn more.
@@8BitAssassinTV brother I have also gone through all those symptoms but my additional symptoms is between a week gap during bowel movements white sticky fluid get discharge from my urethra and start more burning in the tip of penis. did you also have symptoms? are this discharge is also symptoms ko chronic prostatitis ?

Try the figure 4 stretch with the foot of your straight leg against the wall and push gently on your bent knee. Much more controlled stretch and better for those of us with back issues.
Hi 28 year old from Canada. I had a persistent urethritis, then it turned out to be epididitymitis. Even though it was treated(6 weeks of antibiotics it was insane), after 10 weeks I’m experiencing all of a sudden pain (stabbing or pain as if acid coming out) in urethra. I’m 28 and was very fit male but now I feel discomfort constantly in that area. I started doing your stretches. I feel like my life is ruined completely. I’m questioning the existence of God everyday and feel closer to death everyday. Thank you for your video and I hope someday I will watch your videos without suffering constantly.
Thank you so much. Started physiotherapy with two different pelvic floor therapists. I’m trying all I can. Even if I can’t make it, thank you for your amazing videos.. Life is crazy.
@@BenJamin_1497 Hi, I am doing so much better but it is very depressing to still have some flare ups. Like sometimes it gives tingling or pain in urethra as if it is being cut or something. I really don't understand, I didn't get any surgery or anything, no injury, tissues are all healthy. But muscles got insanely tight after an epididitymitis infection. They didn't get tight in one night I guess. During the infection I had insane anxiety due to various reasons. I thought the infection will never go away. Anyways long stories and I don't even wanna remember. Also everything started at the same time with this stupid pandemic. So yeah, infection symptoms got replaced with the CPPS symptoms. I don't have frequent urination, burning etc for months. I mean, my frequent urination was rare, only after straining myself too much after some bowel movements. But then I learnt more and more about bowel stuff and stopped straining. Straining makes some muscles more tense there. Since 2020 I have learnt so many things, so many realizations.. I deal with extreme soreness and tightness around my sitting bones sometimes. Anxiety is one of the biggest thing that contributes to my situation. My abdomen area was too tense and with the help of my physiotherapist, I started to do some exercises like laying down on my stomach on a ball and stay like that for 5 minutes. 3 different location each side. When I first started, my stomach was hurting a lot as if being cut but now, usually I don't feel anything. I also do a lot of stretching exercises like knee to chest, figure four, cobra pose, child pose, frog stretch, stir the pot, hooklying position, obturator internus and some more and at work I do passive squad position a lot and it helps my soreness instantly. These muscles are -as my physiotherapist says, GOSSIPY. It is not like your biceps. Both volunteer and involunteer... I think also during those tough times, my body became more and more overprotected of myself, if you have pain, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with your tissues sometimes. Just like how some people experience heart attack symptoms when they have only a panic attack. Our brain is crazy for sure.. But yes however the muscles got tight, it can get looser as well! I had various symptoms like dull ache next to the penis sometimes, all of a sudden pain deep inside the anus, some tailbone pain, some weird sensations that I can't even identify. And so many times they were happening the same time I was getting so much stress and anxiety. But most of them are gone. The most depressing thing was, during ejaculation, it was like as if its on fire but that disappeared mostly as well. Now I am able to lay down more without constantly rotating right and left over and over, and sometimes I can sit all normal. But sometimes, something triggers something and bam, it becomes uncomfortable so I stand up or do some releasing position etc.There are a lot of things to say about these pelvic floor muscles and this type of youtube comment is not enough obviously, so I highly recommend a pelvic floor physiotherapist. Also Ian is doing an amazing job, we talked some about his videos and website with my physiotherapist. Definitely great job! Those ignorant urologists, speacialists etc make me so pissed! This fucked up planet is not fair, yes it is very cruel and it gets on my nerves badly but I try my best and fight! Tougher than steel! There is no other option. Cheers mate.
@@anilbarkman7822 I’m glad to know that you’re doing much better. Sorry for the delayed response. But wow, all of these trials and what you’re going through. I want to encourage you to keep pressing forward! As you have been. You’ve persevered through so much and have come a long way. Keep it up!
I was suffering from this condition for five years from doctor to doctor, urologist, physiotherapy etc. Till one day they found I had internal hemorrhoids which they put me a rubber band ligationand thank God I recovered my life with no pain… this hemorrhoid’s nerves even affect how you pee and all the perineal area swallows, get checked by a proctologist might be your case too good luck! 😊
Thanks. These helped a lot. Also I’d recommend working out the glutes and doing pelvic floor drops. And using magnesium oils on flared areas. Had these conditions like 7 years ago and kept in check for the last 6.5 years until about a month ago after a traumatic experience. Practicing pelvic drops again and these stretches and more personalized trigger point therapy and workouts. I’m already back at 90% In my experience the most important thing was being able to relax the floor Muscles and release the other muscles that are causing it.
Been struggling with cpps/chronic Prostatitis on and off for about 9years now.. These stretches are amazing !! With me the problem is the hamstrings they are extremely short and tight from heavy lifting. Probably creating severe pelvic tension If i eat very low carb i have mutch less symptomps sometimes even non. Probably as there is mutch less muscle pump then... So less pevic tension This is one off the best videos for cpps stretches !! It just takes a little time and dedication for them to work Thanks man !!
The 1 that u put your forehead on the floor stretching your arms forward with your legs bend,it makes a huge relief, give thanks man all of them are working it depends on how your body responds to that particular stretch
Love love your stretches!! They are actually a lot of the same ones my physiotherapist recommended to me but the difference is yours you hold for a solid 2 minutes which I found a lot more effective and that’s after one time doing your stretches. I will definitely keep them up and hopefully things will get better and better!! Thanks again for taking the time to share what you do, it means a whole lot to me and I’m sure so many others!!🤗
Hey Ian. I discovered your videos after over a year of fluctuating levels of pain and four rounds of antibiotics, one of which lasted 6 weeks and left me struggling to walk without losing my balance. It sounds weird saying it but at 53 years old it took permission (from you) to get pissed off at my condition and take a different route than the doctors had laid out for me. I don't want to jinx myself but I started your stretching routine 3 days ago and this is the best I have felt since my symptoms started. I have also set up a consult with a physical therapist and plan to follow your system and tweak it after I start PT. If I can make one suggestion to your viewers that has really helped me. I work at a desk all day for my job. About 6 months ago I put in an order with Facilities for an adjustable height desk. This way I can stand when sitting is uncomfortable/ painful and vice versa. I actually stand for about 80% of the day now and it has made a difference. Many thanks for inspiring us to lay siege to our pelvic pain.
@@MrDmac423 yeah iam a hardcore caffeine junk lol but the past months I have insane lower back pain bladder pain need to pee every 15 min but nothing comes out sometimes It feels iam peeing in my pants on work this shit sucks man the doctor says I have tight pelvic floor
Thanks , the two legs apart to the wall take out the pain at once , I have been having this pain for over 4yrs but it comes and goes for months and back for a few weeks , this stretches really helps .
Thank you, I will. I have taken a lot of antibiotics and alpha-blockers and no response to supposedly prostatitis, but lately I am in therapy and all natural treatment. thanks for the ideas
@M. friend it depends, each person is different I experienced 26 symptoms. from depression to pain and a strong urge to urinate and above all a weak immune system.
@M. my symptoms were many friend burning when urinating, golf ball in the anus, swollen lymph node, depression, lower back pain, pain in the penis, a lot of urge to urinate, etc, I'm fine now friend Thank you Thank you Thank you
The Figure-Four stretch, after 1 min, always make my hard flaccid go away. But as soon as I stand up I get it again. I got to keep working. Thank you for these stretches.
I’ve had surgery and all kinds of medications for my chronic prostatitis and still have major symptoms. I’m going to try this! Praying it works. Thanks man.
gurri singh Man in my situation I think I have to do this twice a day along with some type of anti-anxiety medication! No immediate relief to my perennial pain area but every other part of my body felt great. I think relief might come if I’m consistent with this every single day but that’s pretty challenging. I’m still a bit confused. I don’t know how much of my pain is related to chronic prostatitis or pelvic pain syndrome, or both. This totally sucks and hopefully it’ll go away one day.
@@jpegv4741 bro i had a chronic prostatitis but only have haveyness in my testis and sum time in prieuim area hope this will help i am doing this forlast 3 days
Oh my Gods!! Best video ever!! I need this so much!!! The calf stretch is brilliant addition.. Its all connected. Have had Pains all around the groin area if you know what I mean.. Thank you!! You should have a hundred times as many subscribers! You are Cool Brother!! Subscribed! 👍👍
Thanks Dan! Once these give you results, I'll probably create a shorter stretching routine, but I'm testing it out now, and I can't pull it off in just 3 stretches. Probably 5. But it's going to vary for everybody.
Travelling so not tried these yet but looking forward to it. Thanks in advance! Other things that temporarily relieve my blood flow issues down there: 1. Magnesium baths & 2. lying flat on my back, wiggling the tops of my legs in and out / flapping my knees together, 3. No smoking, caffeine, alcohol, minimise sugar ... Also breathing deeply in to the exact point of tension, in front of my bum hole behind knob & balls. As others have said, definitely a mind/body issue & definitely tension / tight muscle related
Thanks Ian! This video is so helpful. I’ve been dealing with what I honestly thought was a number of different forms of prostatitis over the last 8 months. I completed all the typical blood and urine tests, was on 9 weeks of antibiotics with no help, saw a urologist and still no relief. Doctors honestly don’t seen to be that helpful or knowledgeable when it comes to diagnosing CPPS. After doing my own research it seems to be a very common disorder. Thank god I found your video! The stretches are certainly helping. Wow am I ever out of shape, but the stretching pain honestly feels good! Feel better even after just a few days. Thanks again!
brother I have also gone through all those symptoms but my additional symptoms is between a week gap during bowel movements white sticky fluid get discharge from my urethra and start more burning in the tip of penis. did you also have symptoms? are this discharge is also symptoms ko chronic prostatitis ? I will be grateful if you tell how did you get fine ?
@@sabinbhandari2641 sorry to hear about your discharge symptoms. No I have never had anything like what you have described. I would definitely go and see a doctor.
Thank you, this provided some instant relief! It sucks having this as a 25-year old but good to know there’s things I can do to reduce the pain/discomfort.
@@quintonhollis2262 I'm from Queens, NY. I have chronic nonbacterial prostatitis which sucks. Tried multiple things to help with the pain. Daily stretching helped me a bit. Diet also plays a big role in pain/inflammation!
@@ten10zinG have you been able to get to a good pelvic floor therapist ? That’s what I’m working on rn finding a really good therapist in pelvic floor in ca.
@@quintonhollis2262 No I haven't. I have a referral for one from my urologist so maybe I should go. I've tried bio feedback (they stick a tube up your behind and send shocks to strengthen the pelvic muscles LOL), urgent pc (which is basically acupuncture), and a few meds too. Nothing has made a huge difference so far so seeing a therapist might be my next option...
I'm 28 years old and started having pelvic pain and perineum pain after doing martial arts. It is so painful that I can't sit down properly anymore. Shit sucks man
Not sure if it’s a coincidence but I actually felt a lot better after doing these for 10 mins. Been taking a ton of different antibiotics lately which offer a day or two of relief.
Ur stretches are miracle,i followed them and my symptoms are gone around 95% in just 10 days of stretching but don't know why symptoms are not going fully.
Mine are going away after about 8 days, but this is something we gotta stay consistent with. I do them twice a day, we will eventually see 100 percent results soon
@@PassionatePursuits-bv2mu not that much for me, the stretches do work, u just have to keep doing them and try to not sit for too long or it will irritate your pelvic floor muscles
@@Ndjhdjdnsjsjjd I had everything but erectile dysfunction and quick ejauculation. My symptoms changed over time, for a while I didn’t know what I was going through so the stress made it a lot worse, that I got a urethra scope by my urologist and got everything else ruled out, and he knew that I was experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. Mine started in November of 2023, and is still kinda ongoing, it’s comes about feeling like a crazy bat UTI, but that’s only the beginning. I had urination urgency, pain in my pelvic, stiffness in my glutes, pain in my urethra, throbbing in my prostate/perineum area. Couldn’t sit for long periods of times, sometimes felt like I would be sitting on a marble, crazy constipation… here’s my advice, I don’t know how long you’ve been going through this bro, but the moment you’ll start to get better is when you take control of your own symptoms, I don’t know if you have yet but start by seeing a urologist to get everything else ruled out, then start by doing these stretches twice a day, take the routine serious. Also add a sitz bath to this routine, if u don’t know what a sitz bath is just search it up on google, try avoiding to sit for to long, which is way more easier said then done, try not to stress. Its been 8 months for me, since March I have been doing the stretches in this video and others I found online along with the sitz bath, my urge to urinate and a lot of pain has went away, but everyday is not always easy, it’s a work in progress. I start seeing my pelvic floor therapist in august, and I just tell myself that if I found all this success on my own, imagine how much a therapist will help me. Sorry to type out such a long message but I really feel for people that are going thru this, because it’s been 8 months for me, but my biggest advice is to not let this take over your life, and whatever you like to do in life that makes you the happiest, continue to do it !!
Hi, you mean well and I applaud you for trying to help others. I found static stretching did not work for me. I suffered horridly with pelvic pain for years. I do almost all these stretches you did here, but the only difference is I add RESISTENCE to each one of them. Makes a world of difference. I've been doing it for almost a year now, no more pain. Just my two cents. All the best to you.
@@voorstenkamp Look up DCT for pelvic pain. There is a guy on here who has a free follow along routine for this, he goes by the name "resistance stretchers". Good luck!

I'm thinking about doing the stretches again, I used to do them awhile back but then stopped because I wasn't sure if it was helping but I'm tired of just sitting around doing nothing . Might give it another try, I learned that progress doesn't have to be linear. Are you still seeing improvements?
@@nicholasharris5480 Yes, please look after for what you eat and keep your mental health in optimum condition, those affect greatly on your symptoms.. God bless
@@alexandros4608 Hi I have a question, do you have CPPS and therefore also pain in the penis and testicles? And the exercise make the pain go away? Unfortunately, my English isn't that good, so I don't fully understand the author of the video. Don't know if he had this pain too or just when urinating and stuff like that.
OMG amazing video about time someone made a video about this so many men are getting no help with them stupid doctors all they do is give you antibiotics for a muscles problem lol
My pelvic pain started 4 days ago. only felt sore/ tender when I touched the area but I managed... then today the area felt inflamed and numb ... all bad thoughts went threw my head on what could be happening ... UTI's, hernia ect then found a video about pelvic pain and the symptoms match what I'm feeling they suggested pelvic stretches ... then I found your video.. thanks for sharing what you learned it's great.. I tryed a few and it actually felt some relief
@@shubhamrawat1658 im good now the pain last a couple weeks then went away. But the stretches did help me. I still don't know exactly what caused the strain to my pelvic floor so hope I don't do that again
As simple as these exercises are, they work and I love the way you guide us through it. So accessible. I've had this condition for many years and stretching and healthy forms of exercise always brings down the pain, but these exercises together are very effective. I have a torn meniscus so some of the exercises involving the knee are difficult to do. If you have any alternatives I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
First day of going through this and already feel relief. Thank you thank you thank you. I've been having testicular discomfort for years and its ruined my sleep schedule, doctors couldnt find anything, finally decided to do something about it. Cant wait to see how the next few months will be.
@@miguelpina6890 On the whole much better but its a long process that doesnt get fixed overnight. Been getting physio too and seeing a pelvic floor specialist soon.
Same problem, I have all the symptoms that you describe in the video and additional testicular pain, I have an apparent varicocele but I have been to 3 urologists and the last one was a very young one and he told me that I could have a varicocele but my symptoms are from the pelvic floor and I recommended this video and go to physical therapy.
After 4 months of antibiotics which has left me with what seems to be permanent tinnitus I get a diagnosis of non bacterial prostatitis. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I am in severe pain and discomfort 24/7 for the past 6/7 months. I am going to give the stretches a try as I have no other clue on how to heal myself. Doctors just don't have a clue how to treat this condition .... I really hope this works for me.
Dude I also have bad tinnitus after taking antibiotics!!! Did it get better for you ?? I don’t even listen to music or use headphones since I can barely sleep at night the ringing noise is soo loud
@@shawnabid9327 yeah it's very distressing for me too. No it hasn't gone away. I took ciprofloxacin for 2 months followed by doxycycline for 2 months. It was towards the end of the 2 month doxycycline course that the tinnitus started. I can't be sure if it was a delayed reaction from the cipro or the doxy that did it. I finished the doxy about 2 months ago so I've had this tinnitus for 2 months now. I've spoken with a couple of people online. 1 that said it went away after 4-6 months and another said it took a year. But I really don't know man. I live in hope that it's not permanent
chris hutchinson why were you on such heavy antibiotics? For prostate infection ? I took them for chlymadia because I had discharge now I feel I may have prostasis
I've had CPPS for around 15 years... I've had very mild to severe pain... during that time I've gotten to the point of just mild issues, but the it comes back with the severity intermittently.. recently, I've started doing mediation, which I think has been tremendously helpful, but last time I did it Indian style . I woke up the next morning with the most severe pain ever.. the only time I've hurt that bad is with bikram yoga, which I also find helpful.. but If you have tight muscles, you can definitely over stretch. And over do it... which has the opposite effect.. so gentle stretching I think is the key...
Absolutely! And I'm glad you mentioned the "Indian style" thing - I did that for an upcoming video, but I don't want people to assume they have to sit that way.
At 27 I'm at a wits end with my fairly recent diagnosis. Since may of 2023 I've been dealing with my issues until I was diagnosed with prostatitis in August. It's but a little bit of up and a lot of down ever since then. On and off a medicine cabinet of medications and nothing has really helped. Antibiotics and beta blockers have shown a minor improvement over the short term, but as time goes on symptoms only seem to reintroduce themselves in more obvious ways when they appear. ED and PE are glaringly present which has led to lengthy periods of isolation and despair. I'm lost and in a desperate search of relief and solace from this godforsaken problem. I just discovered this guide now and I'm going to stick to it religiously, I don't know what else to do when doctors are not able to solve this issue
@@gc8328 I started stretching with physical therapy a couple weeks ago and the pain is almost gone! Therapist did mostly pelvic floor massages. I think most of my problems were coming from my lowest ab muscles pinching the dorsal nerve. I'd lay backwards on an exercise ball to hit those. G/L

Bro you're a life saver. You and Wim Hof. My symptoms started in may and continued for months. They were on and off. Pain in the penis, erectile dysfunction, pelvic pain, frequent urination, rectal pain, burning feet, hard flaccid, premature ejaculation (literally seconds, while flaccid) and pain after ejaculation which lasts for days. Went into depression and anxiety to the point I didn't wanna talk to anyone, just stayed in my room googling, even ended up losing my girlfriend. I visited every urologist in my city and did all tests under the sun. Urine pcr tests, urine cultures, semen cultures, biopsies, blood tests, ultra sound, diabetes test. Everything came back negative. In the beginning of November I ran across your video. Started the stretching, plus the Wim Hof breathing exercise. My daily routine is as follows. First thing in the morning I drink coffee, emptying the bowls daily is a MUST. Then 22 mins of stretching. At some point during the day 10 mins of Wim Hof breathing exercise (doesn't have to be daily), then another 22 mins of stretching exercises before bed. It's been a month now following this routine. Symptoms are almost completely gone. Some flare ups every now and then but only last for a short time. Erectile dysfunction is gone, premature ejaculation is gone, even realized that controlling the breathing delays it significantly and lets u take control, plus makes the refractory period almost instant. I am by no means a doctor but my personal conviction is that this all is mental. It is caused by stress and suppressed emotions. This causes contractions in the muscles which leads to the mentioned symptoms. The combination of stretching and breathing exercises is the optimal solution. Controlling the breathing fights the cause which is stress and stretching heals the contractions caused by stress. This is by no means a disease. It is a dysfunction that needs constant work. First step is to take the necessary tests though, to rule out any infection. I hope my comment helps others, I know going through this is hell in itself.
I have pain in my scrottom and penis ‘ it moves around’ I had an mri done when it was bad and everything looked good in the mri’ Then I saw a urologist’ he said it is Prostatitis . he gave me medications’ it made me feel lethargic’ so stopped it .

Guys, I’ve had CCPPS symptoms on and off since I was 22 years old. I’m 43 now.
It comes and it goes. Sometimes I’m 100% healthy for YEARS. Absolutely no symptoms and sometimes it comes back for days, weeks, months. I’ve had all the symptoms - shooting pains in the dick, feeling like a golf ball is stuck in my rectum, burning during and after peeing, head of penis pain, you name it. I’ve learned a lot over the years and the number one thing I can advise to cure this issue is you need to RELAX your mind and anxieties and believe you will beat this 100%. Do your stretches. Ian is right, this is caused by a combination of anxiety and clenching your pelvic region unconsciously. Workout at least 30 minutes a day if you can. It doesn’t have to be extreme, just something to get your heart rate up and endorphins flowing, see a pelvic PT if that is feasible for you, they are great and can really help you but you can beat it without seeing a pelvic floor PT regardless. Plus they are expensive and I know we don’t always have the extra money. Try to stay off the doom and gloom internet. People do get better and then disappear after bitching about their symptoms on the chat rooms and CZcams channels. That’s proof enough that they beat it! If they didn’t beat it they would still be here saying woah is me and feeding you more doom and gloom saying you can’t get better. That’s absolute BS! You will get better, you will beat this! You might have flares from time to time but knowing that you can and will beat this and symptoms will again fade is half the battle to victory over this syndrome.
One of the good comments i saw. 🥰
I’m dealing with the same thing. Had a flare up two years ago and beat this. Now I’m back in it again and worse than ever. I feel my life is falling apart and I’m trying to put it back together!!I’m hopeful I will be this and i would give anything to live a normal life like I once did!
and iam 16 years old boy who is suffering this problem..one day,we will be get the victory soon
Good morning, brother. I have two months with this and I am desperate and inpatient. I am so...worry about cronic paint and the negative effect in my sexual life.
I am 43 years old, exercise daily, eat healthy, and I got this situation. I got inspired by your comments.. One of the best Urologist in Houston said his best alternative to care the problem is pt.
I suffered from Prostatitis for over a year, fifteen years ago, in my early 20s. It slowly went away, after 11 months no help from antibiotics, and I almost forgot what the symptoms felt like. It came back two weeks ago. I'm trying to do everything I can this time. CZcams didn't even exist back when I had it the first time. There is so much more information out there now. I went to my Urologist and he started me right away on Cipro(4 weeks) and Flomax (1month). And now I'm searching for anything else that I can do to help alleviate the symptoms. Last night was bad. The first half of today was decent, but I'm not doing well now. It's obvious there is more at play here. Stress and anxiety make it worse for me. Which makes it harder to empty my bladder fully, which feeds the cycle. Thank you for making this video. Im starting right now. The emotional impact of this condition is almost worse for me. It ruined me 15 years ago. I can't have that happen again.
很奇怪的症状 不知道出现也不知道怎么消失了
.
How are you doing now? Im suprised it went away by itself the first time, I had to do these stretches as well as other exercises
@@gamesmaster1060 I'm feeling pretty good lately. I took Cipro for 4 weeks, along with Flomax (generic) and the stretching routine every morning, and sometimes at night too. I have continued the Flomax, as it really does help with emptying the bladder and urine flow. My Urologist said I could stop it any time and see how I feel. The common side effects were apparent at first, but come and go. 80% of the time, I don't experience them. The main thing is that I'm emptying my bladder much better than before. Ive been on it for a couple months now, and I may try to stop it for a week and see how I feel. He wrote me a 1-year prescription so I can re-fill it anytime without having to go back to the office. A big difference now is really the support and information on the internet too. 15 years ago, the internet was not much of anything. I lost hope way back then. Seeing these videos, and talking to a new Urologist really changed my outlook. If I do have a not-so-good day, I don't get really down about it. I also know not to force and strain. I know the feeling now and I know what it is. Back 15 years ago, I thought I really had to pee more. But it was just swelling in the prostate giving me that feeling. I think part of the reason it hung around for so long back then was because I kept straining and forcing to try and get more out. It was like a self-fulfilling prophecy, in a sense. I also know now to abstain from any sexual activities for a few days during a "flare up".
I’m so sorry. How are you doing?
bro your a life saver. im pretty sure with all the good you have done from this single video alone, you will go to heaven
Is that one of the Hodge Twins on your avatar? If so, pretty sure you'll go to heaven too :)
Starting your treatment methods now, been down the antibiotic medication route for months...taking quercetin and pumpkin seed oil with a quality pro biotic now. Told urologist to kick rocks. I'm hoping with your stretches and techniques I can beat this
This is the kind of video we need to make it viral. Greetings from Colombia South America.
@@nortesur9504 hi, how are you now and which Symptoms did you have?
Dude, I can't thank you enough for these. I'm 21, got this pain in my rectum at 18 right after I graduated high-school. I became unbelievably depressed, I'd never tell the souls around me but I made a promise to myself that at 25 I'd probably kill myself if this condition never got better and I couldn't live the life I wanted. I was weak, and I can't believe I went to that dark of a place. I felt I couldn't be the person I wanted.
I would sit down and not stand up for hours because I knew as soon as I stood up I'd get a shooting pain through my rectal area, reminding me that I still had this demon living in me. I'd try to lift weights with friends and be in agony at home. Let them down when I would avoid lifts I was so enthusiastic to try. During all this I saw multiple specialists, none could help me. I even had surgery, none of it helped. Then the rectal doctor said my pelvic floor was tight and prescribed a medication for muscle relaxant. Symptoms went 80% away, I couldn't stay on it forever and saw a physical therapist. Those sessions were so painful, but she made me feel a lot better after.
I concluded my meetings with her with around 85% solved. I found your channel just did these stretches and feeling damn near 100%. I got an ebook reader so I can finally order your book when it arrives as I'll be shipping to basic training for the AirForce in about a month and want every bit of help I can. Thank you for everyone who recognizes this unbelievably debilitating ailment. I see most have to suffer through it to understand.
I also started laugh/crying doing the legs on wall stretch, nothing like feeling chronic pain melt away.
Can you please tell him how you go about the problem...am suffering the same problem since last month and am soo depressed
@@Tempplee sorry to hear my friend, I totally understand where your head is right now and the darkness you are in. I'm not out of it yet either completely. I've gotten to manageable levels but sometimes, like when I eat really hot food it creeps back in.
So I don't have much pain in adductors, but the legs on wall stretch is unbelievably painful in that region. Now that I've been stretching daily it's not as bad. I have pain just around the rectum, it's a sore feeling. When I stop pissing, and you flex those muscles to stop the flow, that's when I get the most pain. I sometimes have a burning sensation in my penis when I have bad days. I don't get an abdominal pain. Just pain around the rectum almost exclusively.
I've also found that my hamstrings are probably the tightest out of everything. Again, I can't say much, I've been there too and still have lingering mental issues from this curse, but hold on. Truly. Keep trying new methods, we always think that the body aging will make everything worse but sometimes the body is too good at things and this is why we hurt. Don't rule out the idea that your pain can decrease in the future. Best of luck, and keep stretching.
@@Director_yahya never go in for surgery if you truly have this issue. I did that and truly regret it. Eat foods that are good for you. If that is hard, find something else in life to give you that kick of dopamine that you get from food. I've noticed when I have a really good show I don't care as much about food cravings. You can't see food as a happy drug, only as nutrition.
Stretch as often as possible. Always try to put your legs in positions where they can get proper blood flow. Flex and stretch whenever you feel a little stiff. Breathe deep, with your stomach. Imagine your muscles relaxing. Actually picture them in your head relaxing. Try to not get stressed, remind yourself that time will pass regardless if you worry or not. Stay in the moment, and do NOT dwell on your issue. If you become obsessed it will just make you stress more. Always see yourself outside of your injury, your injury does not define you.
Thank you Soo much
At first i was planning for a surgery but let me try your idea first and if it will help me i will find you wherever you are and help you too
Did you also have testicle pain?
If you have CPPS, listen to this man. This is the way out. And learn to relax. He saved my life.
For the many of you watching this who just came down with this awful ailment, you can beat it in less than 6 months if you are persistent with the exercises. You do not have cpps. You have pelvic floor dysfunction (pfd). Ian is a godsend and I love his videos. These stretches are a staple in my routine. Thanks!
hi bro! finally i found his videoes and the diagnose (cpps), after almost a year with antibiotics and "prostatits". How did the exercises work for you? You are doing it every day? Ive been doing that for 1 week and became better. But after ejaculation the pains really came back..
Can I ask what were your symptoms and how long did it take to to beat it ? Thanks
@@arashamirian8148 I had frequent urination, pain in my perineum, and ED. Took me about 3 months to get to about 95% cured after I knew what was happening. Number one is managing anxiety and two, strengthen the ABS and glutes. Stretching helps but will only give temporary relief
@@Frontsided thank you for replying mate . Im in the beginning of this journey and today was my first day stretching but need to manage my anxiety level as its insane . Are you 100% now ?
@@arashamirian8148 close. I get mild flare ups if I sit for a long time. Just got to keep working on stretching and strengthening muscles that support the pelvicfloor and I'll be good. It's a long healing process but we get there with persistence.
Been doing for two days and breathing exercises…feel about 75% better already. Insane how simple stretching and breathing can effect so much. Thank you so much you are a life saver!
how are you doing now after one month?
@@mackosajt86 100%...then I took a long trip and was traveling for about 45 hours over a 7 day period, sleep messed up, not doing stretches etc. and started to flare up again....began routine again a few days ago and feeling much better...but not 100% yet.
@@bhooper5624 Hello
Wanted to ask how you're doing or if you're already pain free?
And where did you feel pain? Because I'm in a lot of pain.
@B Hooper are your sexual functions ok?
@@bhooper5624 this comment gave me hope and made me hopeless at the same time lol :D it is nice that u can recover 100 percent this fast. but even after full recovery, there is a flare risk. I don't want to live my life with the paranoi of flare. I just want to recover and not worry about flare. I know not everything I want happens in life but to me definition of full recovery is this.
The leg on the wall stretch immediately fixed my lower back pain on my left side. The more I stretched my toes to point left the better the feeling. Honestly the greatest feeling I’ve had in ages as my back pain was really effecting my daily life . I’ll do it every day
I’ve been pain free after doing these stretches every day for the past year. Thank you!
Everyone making video on women's pelvic pain but u cares men thanku for this
Thank you so much for this video! Seriously!!
I had only been in pain for a month, but when I called the doctor about it (phone consultation instead of a visit due to COVID-19) I was told it could be testicular torsion and I should go straight to hospital as a medical emergency. Panicked, I headed straight to the hospital, only to have bloods taken, wait 8 hours in a waiting room (up the walls with worry having been told that it could be testocular torsion!) to be seen by a doctor who told me that there was nothing wrong with me. He said "Its not torsion, and it doesn't look like there's any infection. I cant see what wrong with you. You shouldn't be in the emergency room" and walked out. I was left to feel like i was imagining the pain, that I had wasted his time and that I had medical anxiety or something.
It wasn't until I did further research (MYSELF) that I discovered it was a pelvic muscular issue. Doing the stretches in this video have nearly completely healed the pain (I've only been doing it a few days but already there is a HUUUUGE difference!!)
Before all this started, I was jogging long distances regularly and was doing core workouts everyday. So when it came to doing the cobra stretch in this video (which i have done before no problem) I was so tense in the abdomen that I could barely stretch!! 😂 Doing the cobra (along with the other stretches) everyday for the past few days has almost completely healed the pain.
I've gone from thinking id need my testicles removed due to a doctor, to feeling like I was imagining the pain due to another doctor, to having the pain acknowledged and healed due to you Ian. Thank you!
Hey Evan just read your description, did one testicle hurt at all for you? As well did it almost feel like the cord to your testicle was swollen? I’ve been in and out of doctors, been on antibiotics and nothing has helped. Hoping to find this to work
@@Stewdinkski Hey! Both of my testicles and the scrotum were sore. (Actually, one did hurt more than the other, but this alternated. One day the left was more painful, and the next day the right could be more painful). I cant say for certain if I felt like the chords in particular were swollen or sore, because literally everything down there was sore 😂 But I've been doing these stretches every morning and night, and the pain has gone :)
That is the precise, first symptom that led me to the doctor. Just one connector. Scans showed inflammation. Antibiotics did nothing.
Wow, I'm so glad! Interesting how everybody needs different stretches. My calves are still awful, but I can finally flex my toes on a lunge.
Cure CPPS interesting! Ya I’ve only got the one testicle hurting but antibiotics for epididymitus did nothing. Hoping with these stretches it goes away. Did you ever have a shorter routine?
Feeling much better after one week. This is a life saver. Thank you.
I'm just curious after 8 months is this still working for you?
Thanks to Dr osezele on CZcams for helping me to cure penis enlargement.
Should we do it every day?
You legend!! I am smiling as I do these stretches as it's the first bit of relief I have felt from this condition in a long time. Suffered for almost 4.5 years now. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I swear that is so beautiful for me watching a lot of people under this video finally finding a relief after years of struggling also because of people that sell fake solution for a ton of money. This is only pure and kind information and you are a special person.
Thanks Bullio! Today I had a discussion about putting ads on the site. I don't want to tarnish it and lose credibility.
Cure CPPS So admirable❤️
Bro i love you. 23 male here, been back and forth to the doctor about prostatis, negative results, no relief in pain. This has been a godsend. Only three days in and i feel marginally better
Good! I hope it gets better than marginal though :D
Same im 25, having this for about year now, when i first started doing the stretches i felt really hopeful and great relief, but after 2 weeks, my body still feels like shit, the stress prostatis causes is insane, im having low fever all the time also, was curious how did it go for you?
@@_1z_ you might have a bacterial infection if youre running a fever, my brotha. The stretches have 95% eliminated the pain and the trips to the bathroom. I dont reccomend doctors for much, but if you havent, get tested and see if there is any bacteria or whatever present in your prostate. The stretches helped relieve the on-going golf-ball in your crotch feeling and that has helped me in doing normal activities to lower my stress/on top of not stressing because of that pain. I was suffering with this shit for 3 years and all my tests were negative and i even tried going to the doc again last year, only to be told that they found nothing (did another urine analysis and a bladder ultrasound because with the prostate symptoms, i also been having issues fully empyting my bladder). Id recommend taking Saw Palmetto and pumpkinseed oil to aid in your recovery if in fact your prostate is inflamed. Supplements like that did help for some time but the stretches and stress management have helped tremendously
@@_1z_ also, man to man, refrain from beatin yo shit or having too much sex. Might not affect you but it sure as hell made my symptoms way worse or flared them up. It’s not forever and im not saying dont do it at all, but definitely cut back especially if your shit bothering you. Good luck homie
@@Anthony-cp9se hello mate . I have the same symptoms you had . Its all started last week . I havs cytoscopy and ultrasound appointment next week but u know doctors won't help as there is no sign of any infection in my blood urin and semen . I started the stretches from today and change my diet and ordered same supplements you mentioned too I hope it will help me to get rid of this crap it drives me insane ! Is there any chance that we could talk so i can get some tips and advice from you and how you recovered . Thanks bro 🙏
Please don't delete this video, I've been trying to do this twice a day....it's giving me hope
and its good now??
Thank you so much. I've been diagnosed with depression and have severe stress. I recently got diagnosed and I felt about 10% normal. I always feel like to pee around 20 minutes and it was always tense around my private area even when I didn't feel like to pee. these stretches brought me to about 40% back to normal and I have hope. nothing else I've tried seemed to help as much like hot baths. you have renewed my hope. thank you again.
I actually have the same problem. I always have a pressure on my bladder even directly after urinating. It makes me crazy. It feels I have to go all the time and around this area it feels tight that I have also breathing problems sometimes.
I tried Oxybutynin and Betmiga to stop the urinating a little bit but the side effects are uncomfortable.
Anyone has an advice about this peeing feeling sensation?
@@flyingdutchman8829 i also tried oxybutynin for a month, but it didn't do anything for me. i suggest looking into bldder retraining. I've been doing it for like 4 months now and I can say it helped me. don't over do it, just go slowly and increment slowly at a time
@@andrewwoan where can I find that training? Are there some exercises in CZcams for that?
I was thinking about an injection also in the pelvic or Botox in the bladder.
Oxybutynin helps me actually for not peeing long time and it helps immediately. Just the side effects are bad. I have emselex as well here but never tried it yet
@@flyingdutchman8829 it's not exactly a stretch, see more here: www.ucsfhealth.org/education/bladder-training#:~:text=Bladder%20Retraining%20Instructions%201%20Empty%20your%20bladder%20as,techniques%20like%20deep%20breathing.%20...%20More%20items...%20. essentially you hold your pee for longer that usual and slowly increase your time. this way your body knows to pee when your bladder is more full than usual and thus "retrains" the bladder from spasming too earl
@@flyingdutchman8829 it's difficult because your never sure whether to hold it or go. And then sometimes when you wanna go you can't or there's not much there. But if you fight the anxiety then you'll already start making progress. It will take time so don't lose patience
Been doing these stretches for almost a week and my symptoms have improved a lot. Thank you so much for sharing

Holy shiit and I thought I was going crazy. I was like too much sex? Infection? Prostate cancer? Thank God for this video. I had done multiple urine culture, 1x cystoscopy, antibiotics, flomax and none helped. I felt like I was going to give birth from the pressure around my groin. Thank you so much.

How are you now?
I've been doing 1-6 for one week now and the past three days I've felt incrementally better than I have in a very long time. I'm also taking your advice on taking walks. I'm off sugar and I follow each stretch by pressure massaging painful regions and follow that with a hot bath morning and night.
In the past twelve months I've had random days where I felt better out of the blue but never an incremental improvement. Three days of 'comfort' is my record from February and tomorrow could be a record-breaking day four. Fingers crossed man!!!
Good for you! Once you've got that down, move into the mind control stuff. There are better books out there than what I provide. Find somebody you resonate with. I loved "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living Your Life," but now I'm reading "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins and it's amazing. In the end though, that's also practice - controlling your thoughts, planning things to look forward to, and letting life do its thing while you fight on.
@@CureCPPS Thanks for the reply! Mentally speaking I've been in a wonderful place since April, it's just been very hard dealing with the urgency.

@@saneerish do each these stretches asap. I do each of these for 2 mins. Every day and night. I felt instant results as far as the pain going away.
@@Ochimusha108 how you know?
God bless you! Chronic pelvic pain sucks! I hope one day you can just take a pill for that and be over with pelvic pain 🙏🏽
It certainly does suck!
Muscle relaxers are one day cures. You need to stretch everyday, foam roll and never get mad. Then you can proceed to not getting anxiety. That happens when you face your fear (whatever gives you anxiety, breathe and say this is nothing to be afraid of. I'm not going to let this fear make me feel inferior. When you're afraid or anxious of anything, your pelvic muscles tighten up and (I) have frequent urination. When you feel anxious, you can take deep breaths (breathe into your stomach) and relax. That's what I did and it helped me.

This video has give me some much needed relief recovering from epididymitis! Thank you
I could cry because watching these videos and reading your website guide I feel hope for the first time in forever. I’ve had prostatitis / CPPS problems for over a decade now. I just had another immense flare up last week and again, new antibiotic. They’ve never found any bacteria or any anomalies in any of my tests or exams. I have started and wanted to ask, is it possible to stretch too much starting out and make the symptoms worse? I did my stretching this morning then felt like someone kicked my right nut about an hour later and have felt a pulling burning in the pelvis right above the right nut. It’s so hard to believe this can get better but I am going to follow your guide and pray!
I do think you can overstretch, and you're not the first to report it. Use pain as your guide. And try to relax while you stretch! Breathe deep and savor that breath.
And also, thank you for this comment. I'm glad I can do something to help. Been a crazy time for everybody.
Cure CPPS I did have one other question, I think on your website I read that you learned how to do pelvic floor trigger points right through your clothes and was wondering if that was something you ever did a video on. I understand at first those can be rough but can really aid in recovery so was hoping to learn more.
@@8BitAssassinTV brother I have also gone through all those symptoms but my additional symptoms is between a week gap during bowel movements white sticky fluid get discharge from my urethra and start more burning in the tip of penis. did you also have symptoms?

Try the figure 4 stretch with the foot of your straight leg against the wall and push gently on your bent knee. Much more controlled stretch and better for those of us with back issues.
Hi 28 year old from Canada. I had a persistent urethritis, then it turned out to be epididitymitis. Even though it was treated(6 weeks of antibiotics it was insane), after 10 weeks I’m experiencing all of a sudden pain (stabbing or pain as if acid coming out) in urethra. I’m 28 and was very fit male but now I feel discomfort constantly in that area. I started doing your stretches. I feel like my life is ruined completely. I’m questioning the existence of God everyday and feel closer to death everyday. Thank you for your video and I hope someday I will watch your videos without suffering constantly.
Hey Anil, keep fighting. You may have some serious damage in your pelvic muscles. But it can get better.
Thank you so much. Started physiotherapy with two different pelvic floor therapists. I’m trying all I can. Even if I can’t make it, thank you for your amazing videos.. Life is crazy.
@@anilbarkman7822 I understand your pain with what you said. Sorry to hear about that bro :(
How are you doing now?
@@BenJamin_1497 Hi, I am doing so much better but it is very depressing to still have some flare ups. Like sometimes it gives tingling or pain in urethra as if it is being cut or something. I really don't understand, I didn't get any surgery or anything, no injury, tissues are all healthy. But muscles got insanely tight after an epididitymitis infection. They didn't get tight in one night I guess. During the infection I had insane anxiety due to various reasons. I thought the infection will never go away. Anyways long stories and I don't even wanna remember. Also everything started at the same time with this stupid pandemic. So yeah, infection symptoms got replaced with the CPPS symptoms. I don't have frequent urination, burning etc for months. I mean, my frequent urination was rare, only after straining myself too much after some bowel movements. But then I learnt more and more about bowel stuff and stopped straining. Straining makes some muscles more tense there. Since 2020 I have learnt so many things, so many realizations.. I deal with extreme soreness and tightness around my sitting bones sometimes. Anxiety is one of the biggest thing that contributes to my situation. My abdomen area was too tense and with the help of my physiotherapist, I started to do some exercises like laying down on my stomach on a ball and stay like that for 5 minutes. 3 different location each side. When I first started, my stomach was hurting a lot as if being cut but now, usually I don't feel anything. I also do a lot of stretching exercises like knee to chest, figure four, cobra pose, child pose, frog stretch, stir the pot, hooklying position, obturator internus and some more and at work I do passive squad position a lot and it helps my soreness instantly. These muscles are -as my physiotherapist says, GOSSIPY. It is not like your biceps. Both volunteer and involunteer... I think also during those tough times, my body became more and more overprotected of myself, if you have pain, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with your tissues sometimes. Just like how some people experience heart attack symptoms when they have only a panic attack. Our brain is crazy for sure.. But yes however the muscles got tight, it can get looser as well! I had various symptoms like dull ache next to the penis sometimes, all of a sudden pain deep inside the anus, some tailbone pain, some weird sensations that I can't even identify. And so many times they were happening the same time I was getting so much stress and anxiety. But most of them are gone. The most depressing thing was, during ejaculation, it was like as if its on fire but that disappeared mostly as well. Now I am able to lay down more without constantly rotating right and left over and over, and sometimes I can sit all normal. But sometimes, something triggers something and bam, it becomes uncomfortable so I stand up or do some releasing position etc.There are a lot of things to say about these pelvic floor muscles and this type of youtube comment is not enough obviously, so I highly recommend a pelvic floor physiotherapist. Also Ian is doing an amazing job, we talked some about his videos and website with my physiotherapist. Definitely great job! Those ignorant urologists, speacialists etc make me so pissed! This fucked up planet is not fair, yes it is very cruel and it gets on my nerves badly but I try my best and fight! Tougher than steel! There is no other option. Cheers mate.
@@anilbarkman7822 I’m glad to know that you’re doing much better. Sorry for the delayed response. But wow, all of these trials and what you’re going through. I want to encourage you to keep pressing forward! As you have been. You’ve persevered through so much and have come a long way. Keep it up!
I was suffering from this condition for five years from doctor to doctor, urologist, physiotherapy etc. Till one day they found I had internal hemorrhoids which they put me a rubber band ligationand thank God I recovered my life with no pain… this hemorrhoid’s nerves even affect how you pee and all the perineal area swallows, get checked by a proctologist might be your case too good luck! 😊
Thanks lan for guidance.
I feel 80% relief after doing these exercises.
I was suffering chronic pelvic pain last one year.
Again thanks 🙏
How are you now?
How are you now?
This is the most important channel on youtube for me thank you
Thanks. These helped a lot. Also I’d recommend working out the glutes and doing pelvic floor
drops. And using magnesium oils on flared areas. Had these conditions like 7 years ago and kept in check for the last 6.5 years until about a month ago after a traumatic experience. Practicing pelvic drops again and these stretches and more personalized trigger point therapy and workouts. I’m already back at 90% In my experience the most important thing was being able to relax the floor
Muscles and release the other muscles that are causing it.
Best if one mix the exercises at 6:15 & 7:15
While holding the stretch?
Hey magnesium oil on your pelvic area worked for the nerve/burning like pain?
Been struggling with cpps/chronic Prostatitis on and off for about 9years now..
These stretches are amazing !!
With me the problem is the hamstrings they are extremely short and tight from heavy lifting. Probably creating severe pelvic tension
If i eat very low carb i have mutch less symptomps sometimes even non.
Probably as there is mutch less muscle pump then... So less pevic tension
This is one off the best videos for cpps stretches !! It just takes a little time and dedication for them to work
Thanks man !!
The 1 that u put your forehead on the floor stretching your arms forward with your legs bend,it makes a huge relief, give thanks man all of them are working it depends on how your body responds to that particular stretch
Love love your stretches!! They are actually a lot of the same ones my physiotherapist recommended to me but the difference is yours you hold for a solid 2 minutes which I found a lot more effective and that’s after one time doing your stretches. I will definitely keep them up and hopefully things will get better and better!! Thanks again for taking the time to share what you do, it means a whole lot to me and I’m sure so many others!!🤗
Are things going better?
Hey Ian. I discovered your videos after over a year of fluctuating levels of pain and four rounds of antibiotics, one of which lasted 6 weeks and left me struggling to walk without losing my balance. It sounds weird saying it but at 53 years old it took permission (from you) to get pissed off at my condition and take a different route than the doctors had laid out for me. I don't want to jinx myself but I started your stretching routine 3 days ago and this is the best I have felt since my symptoms started. I have also set up a consult with a physical therapist and plan to follow your system and tweak it after I start PT. If I can make one suggestion to your viewers that has really helped me. I work at a desk all day for my job. About 6 months ago I put in an order with Facilities for an adjustable height desk. This way I can stand when sitting is uncomfortable/ painful and vice versa. I actually stand for about 80% of the day now and it has made a difference. Many thanks for inspiring us to lay siege to our pelvic pain.

No immediate relief to my perennial pain area but every other part of my body felt great. I think relief might come if I’m consistent with this every single day but that’s pretty challenging. I’m still a bit confused. I don’t know how much of my pain is related to chronic prostatitis or pelvic pain syndrome, or both. This totally sucks and hopefully it’ll go away one day.

How are you doing with the pain now guys
I’m going to start doing these stretches every morning thanks!!
Thank-you so much 💯❤️
I have just began doing these stretches, and they just gave such a worldy feeling of calmness.
Great video. A remake that is longer where we can follow along without having to pause and restart would be great.
Oh my Gods!! Best video ever!! I need this so much!!! The calf stretch is brilliant addition.. Its all connected. Have had Pains all around the groin area if you know what I mean.. Thank you!! You should have a hundred times as many subscribers! You are Cool Brother!! Subscribed! 👍👍
Thanks Dan! Once these give you results, I'll probably create a shorter stretching routine, but I'm testing it out now, and I can't pull it off in just 3 stretches. Probably 5. But it's going to vary for everybody.
do some more videos please your a massive help man
I love that you hold stretches for 2 minutes at a time. Subbed😁
Travelling so not tried these yet but looking forward to it. Thanks in advance!
Other things that temporarily relieve my blood flow issues down there: 1. Magnesium baths & 2. lying flat on my back, wiggling the tops of my legs in and out / flapping my knees together, 3. No smoking, caffeine, alcohol, minimise sugar ...
Also breathing deeply in to the exact point of tension, in front of my bum hole behind knob & balls. As others have said, definitely a mind/body issue & definitely tension / tight muscle related
Thank you for sharing this great exercise video, it helps me a lot for my pelvic pain. God bless you sir 👍👌🙏
Thanks Ian! This video is so helpful. I’ve been dealing with what I honestly thought was a number of different forms of prostatitis over the last 8 months. I completed all the typical blood and urine tests, was on 9 weeks of antibiotics with no help, saw a urologist and still no relief. Doctors honestly don’t seen to be that helpful or knowledgeable when it comes to diagnosing CPPS. After doing my own research it seems to be a very common disorder. Thank god I found your video! The stretches are certainly helping. Wow am I ever out of shape, but the stretching pain honestly feels good! Feel better even after just a few days. Thanks again!
brother I have also gone through all those symptoms but my additional symptoms is between a week gap during bowel movements white sticky fluid get discharge from my urethra and start more burning in the tip of penis. did you also have symptoms?
are this discharge is also symptoms ko chronic prostatitis ?
I will be grateful if you tell how did you get fine ?
@@sabinbhandari2641 sorry to hear about your discharge symptoms. No I have never had anything like what you have described. I would definitely go and see a doctor.
@@sabinbhandari2641 any update on this ?
@@Jocelyn123rox I am fine right now after doing stretching exercises about 2 week
@@sabinbhandari2641 I had similar to you. Doctors couldn’t help it seemed. The stretches cured your problem?
If this video heals my pain,i will come back here and thank you...Hope this will cure my pain
Did it cure your pain?
The calf stretches were a game changer for me.....thanks for sharing.
Thank you, this provided some instant relief! It sucks having this as a 25-year old but good to know there’s things I can do to reduce the pain/discomfort.
Bro me too where are you form I’m the same age this is the worst ever barley found these videos after months of pain and doctors visits
@@quintonhollis2262 I'm from Queens, NY. I have chronic nonbacterial prostatitis which sucks. Tried multiple things to help with the pain. Daily stretching helped me a bit. Diet also plays a big role in pain/inflammation!
@@ten10zinG have you been able to get to a good pelvic floor therapist ? That’s what I’m working on rn finding a really good therapist in pelvic floor in ca.
@@quintonhollis2262 No I haven't. I have a referral for one from my urologist so maybe I should go. I've tried bio feedback (they stick a tube up your behind and send shocks to strengthen the pelvic muscles LOL), urgent pc (which is basically acupuncture), and a few meds too. Nothing has made a huge difference so far so seeing a therapist might be my next option...
I'm 28 years old and started having pelvic pain and perineum pain after doing martial arts. It is so painful that I can't sit down properly anymore. Shit sucks man
the forth one gave me a huge relief of pain man i haven't felt this good in a while thank you so much

Not sure if it’s a coincidence but I actually felt a lot better after doing these for 10 mins. Been taking a ton of different antibiotics lately which offer a day or two of relief.
Do sometimes feel like you have UTI and taking antibiotics and nothing happen?
@@robm2707 thats what I'm going through right now,im peeing all day and its slightly uncomfortable
@@77Spionkop I’m going thru the same thing man did you ever find out what it was?
Yeah my pee also hurts
Ur stretches are miracle,i followed them and my symptoms are gone around 95% in just 10 days of stretching but don't know why symptoms are not going fully.
Mine are going away after about 8 days, but this is something we gotta stay consistent with. I do them twice a day, we will eventually see 100 percent results soon
Hi bro. Have you had pain in left testicles and left leg ?
@@PassionatePursuits-bv2mu not that much for me, the stretches do work, u just have to keep doing them and try to not sit for too long or it will irritate your pelvic floor muscles
@@tysdogvlogs6697bro what were your symptoms??
@@Ndjhdjdnsjsjjd I had everything but erectile dysfunction and quick ejauculation. My symptoms changed over time, for a while I didn’t know what I was going through so the stress made it a lot worse, that I got a urethra scope by my urologist and got everything else ruled out, and he knew that I was experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. Mine started in November of 2023, and is still kinda ongoing, it’s comes about feeling like a crazy bat UTI, but that’s only the beginning. I had urination urgency, pain in my pelvic, stiffness in my glutes, pain in my urethra, throbbing in my prostate/perineum area. Couldn’t sit for long periods of times, sometimes felt like I would be sitting on a marble, crazy constipation… here’s my advice, I don’t know how long you’ve been going through this bro, but the moment you’ll start to get better is when you take control of your own symptoms, I don’t know if you have yet but start by seeing a urologist to get everything else ruled out, then start by doing these stretches twice a day, take the routine serious. Also add a sitz bath to this routine, if u don’t know what a sitz bath is just search it up on google, try avoiding to sit for to long, which is way more easier said then done, try not to stress. Its been 8 months for me, since March I have been doing the stretches in this video and others I found online along with the sitz bath, my urge to urinate and a lot of pain has went away, but everyday is not always easy, it’s a work in progress. I start seeing my pelvic floor therapist in august, and I just tell myself that if I found all this success on my own, imagine how much a therapist will help me. Sorry to type out such a long message but I really feel for people that are going thru this, because it’s been 8 months for me, but my biggest advice is to not let this take over your life, and whatever you like to do in life that makes you the happiest, continue to do it !!
Hi, you mean well and I applaud you for trying to help others. I found static stretching did not work for me. I suffered horridly with pelvic pain for years. I do almost all these stretches you did here, but the only difference is I add RESISTENCE to each one of them. Makes a world of difference. I've been doing it for almost a year now, no more pain. Just my two cents. All the best to you.
Good luck
Hey man, what were your symptoms and how do you add resistance
@@feradwight7055 Urinary urgency, pressure, swollen lower abdomen, some ED. Check out this link czcams.com/video/zM_GVLwVELU/video.html
Bro can you explain a bit more about this resistance I’m in so much pain I need something to fix this
@@voorstenkamp Look up DCT for pelvic pain. There is a guy on here who has a free follow along routine for this, he goes by the name "resistance stretchers". Good luck!
Thank you.. this really help me on my bladder discomfort and frequent urge to urinate.. only in 1 week and i feel huge different.. btw i also take pumpkin seed oil 1x 2000 mg.. God bless
How are you doing now bro?
@@nicholasharris5480 Doing great, its been a routine, i do it twice a day only half the time mentioned lol.. i also avoid certain foods that trigger me like caffeine, chocolate.. IF also helps..
@@alexandros4608 that's great to hear! I'm thinking about doing the stretches again, I used to do them awhile back but then stopped because I wasn't sure if it was helping but I'm tired of just sitting around doing nothing . Might give it another try, I learned that progress doesn't have to be linear. Are you still seeing improvements?
@@nicholasharris5480 Yes, please look after for what you eat and keep your mental health in optimum condition, those affect greatly on your symptoms.. God bless
@@alexandros4608 Hi
I have a question, do you have CPPS and therefore also pain in the penis and testicles? And the exercise make the pain go away?
Unfortunately, my English isn't that good, so I don't fully understand the author of the video. Don't know if he had this pain too or just when urinating and stuff like that.
OMG amazing video about time someone made a video about this so many men are getting no help with them stupid doctors all they do is give you antibiotics for a muscles problem lol
My pelvic pain started 4 days ago. only felt sore/ tender when I touched the area but I managed... then today the area felt inflamed and numb ... all bad thoughts went threw my head on what could be happening ... UTI's, hernia ect then found a video about pelvic pain and the symptoms match what I'm feeling they suggested pelvic stretches ... then I found your video.. thanks for sharing what you learned it's great.. I tryed a few and it actually felt some relief
You are welcome! Love stories like yours.
how r u now
@@shubhamrawat1658 im good now the pain last a couple weeks then went away. But the stretches did help me. I still don't know exactly what caused the strain to my pelvic floor so hope I don't do that again
As simple as these exercises are, they work and I love the way you guide us through it. So accessible. I've had this condition for many years and stretching and healthy forms of exercise always brings down the pain, but these exercises together are very effective. I have a torn meniscus so some of the exercises involving the knee are difficult to do. If you have any alternatives I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
Maaann, that back stretch feels so good on my cpps, I can feel it relieving something inside me. Like moving a muscle or something.
First day of going through this and already feel relief. Thank you thank you thank you. I've been having testicular discomfort for years and its ruined my sleep schedule, doctors couldnt find anything, finally decided to do something about it. Cant wait to see how the next few months will be.
Epididymitis bro? How’s your pain did you cure with these stretches?
@@miguelpina6890 On the whole much better but its a long process that doesnt get fixed overnight. Been getting physio too and seeing a pelvic floor specialist soon.
@@ftb282 have you been doing these exercises daily?
@@miguelpina6890 Yep every day for the last 2 weeks plus some strengthening excercises I was given for my hip flexors (leg raises, back arches)
Same problem, I have all the symptoms that you describe in the video and additional testicular pain, I have an apparent varicocele but I have been to 3 urologists and the last one was a very young one and he told me that I could have a varicocele but my symptoms are from the pelvic floor and I recommended this video and go to physical therapy.
Thanks for the video! My PT recommended I do these, and I’m ACTUALLY doing them. Looking forward to seeing results. 🤙🏻
How are you now?
I own you so much. Thank You so much for this video. Its made a world of difference for me
After 4 months of antibiotics which has left me with what seems to be permanent tinnitus I get a diagnosis of non bacterial prostatitis. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I am in severe pain and discomfort 24/7 for the past 6/7 months. I am going to give the stretches a try as I have no other clue on how to heal myself. Doctors just don't have a clue how to treat this condition .... I really hope this works for me.
Dude I also have bad tinnitus after taking antibiotics!!! Did it get better for you ?? I don’t even listen to music or use headphones since I can barely sleep at night the ringing noise is soo loud
@@shawnabid9327 yeah it's very distressing for me too. No it hasn't gone away. I took ciprofloxacin for 2 months followed by doxycycline for 2 months. It was towards the end of the 2 month doxycycline course that the tinnitus started. I can't be sure if it was a delayed reaction from the cipro or the doxy that did it. I finished the doxy about 2 months ago so I've had this tinnitus for 2 months now. I've spoken with a couple of people online. 1 that said it went away after 4-6 months and another said it took a year. But I really don't know man. I live in hope that it's not permanent
chris hutchinson why were you on such heavy antibiotics? For prostate infection ? I took them for chlymadia because I had discharge now I feel I may have prostasis
@@shawnabid9327 yeah I have prostatitis. Its a much bigger problem than the tinnitus. Severe pain in abdomen and need to go pee all the time.
chris hutchinson how did you get diagnosed with prostasis ?? I also pee very often but I haven’t been told I have it
I've had CPPS for around 15 years... I've had very mild to severe pain... during that time I've gotten to the point of just mild issues, but the it comes back with the severity intermittently.. recently, I've started doing mediation, which I think has been tremendously helpful, but last time I did it Indian style
. I woke up the next morning with the most severe pain ever.. the only time I've hurt that bad is with bikram yoga, which I also find helpful.. but If you have tight muscles, you can definitely over stretch. And over do it... which has the opposite effect.. so gentle stretching I think is the key...
Absolutely! And I'm glad you mentioned the "Indian style" thing - I did that for an upcoming video, but I don't want people to assume they have to sit that way.
I have been doing it for 20 days and it is helping me, will keep this thread posted about any updates
@THFC All The Way yes, that is the first symptom that got better
How are you now? Did you continue with stretches?
@@avina12341 update?
At 27 I'm at a wits end with my fairly recent diagnosis. Since may of 2023 I've been dealing with my issues until I was diagnosed with prostatitis in August. It's but a little bit of up and a lot of down ever since then. On and off a medicine cabinet of medications and nothing has really helped. Antibiotics and beta blockers have shown a minor improvement over the short term, but as time goes on symptoms only seem to reintroduce themselves in more obvious ways when they appear. ED and PE are glaringly present which has led to lengthy periods of isolation and despair. I'm lost and in a desperate search of relief and solace from this godforsaken problem. I just discovered this guide now and I'm going to stick to it religiously, I don't know what else to do when doctors are not able to solve this issue
How are you doing brother?
This issue can bring a guy so emotionally low in a short time. The fiery hot pain is insane! Hoping for better times...
Facts. I have been suffering from this for more than a year now. All the doctors I have seen think I’m crazy.
@@gc8328 I started stretching with physical therapy a couple weeks ago and the pain is almost gone! Therapist did mostly pelvic floor massages. I think most of my problems were coming from my lowest ab muscles pinching the dorsal nerve. I'd lay backwards on an exercise ball to hit those. G/L
@@GS850GLZ-82 hey can I contact you?
Well 2 steps forward 1 step back, such is healing. I did have a few days in a row that were almost normal. Looking to the future with hope...
