In this guided audio practice, I’ll walk you through a simple mindfulness-based exercise that can help you feel a little calmer and more connected to your pelvic floor. These types of exercises are often helpful for people navigating pelvic pain, erectile dysfunction, or early ejaculation by building awareness of the body, breath, and pelvic floor muscles.

This practice will walk you through:

Breath awareness

Three-point breathing (chest, belly, and pelvic floor)

Gentle pelvic floor contractions coordinated with exhalation

Relaxation and expansion during inhalation

Body awareness and nervous system regulation

This is an opportunity to slow down, tune into your body, and explore the connection between your breath and pelvic floor muscles.

You may notice sensations you’ve never paid attention to before. You may discover areas of tension, effort, or ease. Or you may not feel much at all right now—and that’s all okay. Like any skill, developing awareness takes practice.

Find a comfortable place where you can listen without interruption for a few minutes and allow yourself to be curious about the experience.

After listening, I’d love to hear from you:

What did you notice?

Were you able to feel movement or engagement in your pelvic floor?

How did you feel after the practice?

Thanks Dr Susie, a good audio to repeat and deepen

Hey Dr. Susie, I did not realize how much tension I hold in my face, chest, shoulders, glutes and penis. Since starting PFPT I've not been able to feel the contractions in my anus, penis or scrotum when doing biofeedback exercises because of all the spasms I have. I did feel them with this exercise though, and I even stayed focused and aware walking to the garden this morning to pick some fresh raspberries for my oatmeal. Because of my recent heart issues, my last PFPT stopped treatment. I have an appointment next week for counsel with her about my lower circulation issue that couldn't be repaired because of the aneurysms. Any suggestions for options to ask about? Another great exercise from my favorite Dr. Susie Gronski!

Perhaps asking about techniques and strategies to promote circulation to your pelvis and lower body? I would also suggest asking about the use of a penis pump and whether or not that would be indicated especially with pelvic pain.

Hey Dr. Susie, it’s been a while since my last comment on this suject so you may not remember — I’m still getting over three unwanted erections a day with painful spontaneous ejaculations from the spasms. Would a penis pump make that worse?

Dr. Susie Gronski - Doctor of Physical Therapy

Ah yes, Rex. My apologies for the oversight. It may or may not make things worse...difficult to say. A penis pump can be used as a graded exposure tool to gradual penile engorgement and tissue tolerance with erections. I would direct this question to your treating provider for more guidance. xx

No need to apologize, Doc. I don’t expect you to remember every detail when you’re helping so many men with pelvic issues. Your help is always so much appreciated. XX right back at ya!
