Our pelvic floor is an important part of the body, with essential muscles for movement, carrying your body, sex, your breathing and digestion. There are also important organs that influence the pelvic floor: the prostate, the bladder and the rectum.
You can see the basin as a bowl. If the pelvis is tilted, turned, or crooked, this can cause a lot of pain. Tension in the pelvis area also leads to pain for many people in the form of cramps and stings. A pelvic floor massage reduces the tension of the muscles, attachments and connective tissue.
There is a powerful energy center in your pelvic floor: your first chakra. That is where your feeling of vitality, well-being and well-being arises. At the same time, the pelvic floor is an unknown area for many. We only pay attention to it when problems arise. Often pain in the prostate, urination, defecation and sexual problems originate in the pelvic floor. A massage aimed at releasing and releasing tension in the pelvic floor is a special experience. Deep relaxation at the bottom of your body makes you feel safe and grounded. You feel more complete, more connected to your body.
The muscles in and around the anus hold quite a bit of tension, which we are often unaware of. You may notice that you tighten your anus in unpleasant situations, for example when work pressure or when something unexpected happens. This automatic tightening in unsafe situations happens so often that we hardly notice it. Little by little, over the years, your pelvic floor muscle and your sphincter muscles contract. In this way a lot of emotional charge, stress, shame, tension, etc. collects. These old emotions, such as fear and anger, become embedded in your perineum and your anus area.
A pelvic floor massage ensures that you become aware of that tension. Once you are aware of it, the massage helps you to let go of the tension and experience a deep rest.
Your pelvic floor is also a source of excitement and pleasure, it is rich in nerve endings. So you can experience both pleasure and pain there. But old emotions can also be released. If you give it a little space, you will clean up emotionally.
Preparatory massage
Before the pelvic floor is massaged, other parts of the body are first massaged to create an overall relaxation. This ensures that the parasympathetic nervous system creates rest throughout the body. Muscles that have a direct or indirect relationship with the pelvic floor receive extra attention, such as the adductor muscles on the inside of the thigh, the lower abdominal muscles, the buttocks and lateral rotators of the pelvis and the hips.
To help you become aware of your pelvic floor muscles, use is made of Active Engagement . You will be asked to contract certain muscles while I gently apply pressure to specific areas. This – in combination with specific breathing techniques – helps release and release tension.
There can be tension not only at the muscle level. Connective tissue can also be under tension on a more subtle level. With Myofascia Energetic Release pressure is exerted on your connective tissue. When springing back, the tension and adhesion of the connective tissue decreases, thereby improving the flow of energy. You also release emotional tension, which we are often not aware of. That gives an unexpectedly liberating experience.
Internal anus massage
A pelvic floor massage can be extended with an internal anus massage for both women and men. There is still a taboo on this - especially (straight) men - because of a possible association with gay sex. But it is precisely in the sphincter muscles of the anus that a lot of tension and pain is stored. If you can let this tension dissolve inside, it feels enormously liberating. You can suddenly sink deeper into your body and become absorbed in the moment. With an internal pelvic floor massage, the prostate can also be massaged. Massage of the prostate not only leads to relaxation and pleasure, but is also good for your health and your libido.
Massaging your anus by someone else's finger is something that requires safety, trust and patience. It can evoke all kinds of feelings to be touched like that. You may also encounter sore spots. Sometimes you have to go through that pain for a while before the built-up tension dissolves.
