The pelvis is the kinetic center of the body so a problem there will usually result in a compensation further up. We were just discussing this in another thread regarding the jaw, but it effected my neck the most; and might affect any part of the back. The mechanism is that your primary reflex is t...

I don't think hypotonia would cause problems with flexibility, just with strength and coordination. If your pelvis is out of wack, you might not be able to touch your toes due to joint restriction. Hypotonia is more something you would maybe notice during gym class or, if they still do it these day...

Low tone, really called hypotonia, is common but not universal in autism. Not to mention a lot of people without hypotonia manage to injure their pelvis. If you search the term "hypotonia" maybe you can identify whether it is something you have experienced. I get the impression that hypot...

All kinds of injuries can lead to pelvic misalignment; Sometimes sports injuries, sometimes falls, sometimes pregnancy and birth related...One thing I was curious about, was whether the "aspie" part of "aspiesinger" is a reference to Asperger's Syndrome; because sometimes people...

I was acually told on several occasions that I had "minor scoliosis", when it was actually an illusion created by the twisted pelvis. One of my legs was 1.5 inches longer than the other for 24 years before a PT noticed it (sounds insane, but true!) - not actually longer leg bones, just th...

PT only works for some people, it depends on underlying pathology. If the nerve is entrapped in tight bands of muscle it can work very well. If it's trapped in scar tissue, or if you have spinal pathology, or any other number of possible issues, it might not be something that would respond to PT. D...

as pointed out there are sensory and motor components to the pudendal nerve, but also if there is a sensory component it might not necessarily be pain. A lot of people experience numbness, and this is not always readily apparent. I had some loss of sensation that i was not aware of, until I had a n...

Your loop theory does make sense, it's just a shame that the PT isn't 'enough' to break that cycle. Have the therapists been able to identify the muscles involved? I presume they are some/all of the pelvic floor muscles? While a guided PN block is usually targeted therapeutically for pain relief it...

Hi aspiesinger, welcome The pudendal nerve has a motor and sensory function so contains motor and sensory fibers. Much of the time people with PN have no motor function problems i.e bladder and bowel problems and just have pain in the pudendl nerve distribution area. The sensory fibers are obviousl...

My story is a long one, so I will try to make this short. Skip to the bottom if you just want to look at my question. My symptoms are: I feel like I have to pee badly 24/7 (it lessens a bit with laying down for a long while or sitting on a toilet), and I have pretty bad urinary hesitancy sometimes (...
