3-2-1: Beyond the Basics of Pelvic Floor Loading

I. A 10-second hold isn’t always enough
For a patient who walks 20 miles in a day, his pelvic floor may need longer, sustained contractions to match the loading demands of his real life. Sometimes 30-second holds in the positions that trigger symptoms are the missing link.

II. Angle changes everything
One man’s pain with ejaculation only appeared in certain sexual positions. The culprit was not “tightness” but the shaft angle under load. Adjusting his home program to replicate that angle during training, not just the generic movement, unlocked progress.

III. The Pelvic Kamasutra is more than fun names
Whether you are prescribing “pumper,” “boner,” or “rocker,” pairing the right contraction type with the right position lets you match the patient’s triggers, respect tissue tolerance, and keep training relevant.

I. Psychiatrist Carl Jung on seeing the whole picture:
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

II. Coach John Wooden on preparation:
“When opportunity comes, it is too late to prepare.”

If you watched your patient’s activity exactly as they do it at home, what would you change in your prescription tomorrow?
