Yoga for Pudendal Neuralgia- Working with neuropathic symptoms around the genitals, anus or perineum? Allow Melissa Patrick, PT, DPT, RYT to guide you through an exploration of movements to find relief and ease in the entire body.
Therapeutic Backbends for Pudendal Neuralgia– Let’s open through the front line of the body to reduce tension along the posterior chain. These supportive and gentle backbends can be a great way to reduce strain & stretch along the pathway of the pudendal nerve. Backbends have other benefits, too! They help us to breathe more deeply by improving recruitment of the diaphragm. The better belly breaths we can get, the more our pelvic floor can lengthen and relax. Not to mention, deep breathing helps to calm our nervous system and induce physiological quieting. Finally, backbends have a natural antidepressant effect! Because backbends activate the heart, they invigorate and uplift the mood. Happy heart opening!
