Anyone doing internal sphincter self massage for fullness burning??

[Needtoheal]

Read this book called Headache in the Pelvis, and for rectal fullness and burning, they recommend and show various finger movements for gentle internal massage of the internal anal sphincter muscle using a gloved finger. I tried this twice for about two minutes each time and noticed some minor relief afterwords but it did not last. It is my belief the internal muscle is in an overcontracted state, and with daily massage routine could resolve the discomfort . it's doable on yourself laying on bed. Anyone else trying similar?

My life changed after I read the book written by Dr Wise and Dr Anderson “A headache in the pelvis”. I contacted Dr Wise and went to his clinic for 3 days 7 months ago. I was taught his method called Wise-Anderson protocol and for the last 7 months I’m following this protocol at home. What helped me the most is a relaxation technique with the trigger points release method. I’m highly recommending his method for the pelvic floor dysfunction due to muscle spasm. It will take time to get relief but you just need keep doing it every day. I feel much better now. The sitting pain is still there but less intense. I’m not taking any medications now.

I read the book and was hopeful but how do you manage the protocol and work? If I recall it takes a large chunk of your day to lie down and do the protocol. Are you doing it exactly as they recommend or do they show you something else less time consuming and more “work” friendly? Also, do you use the trigger points release method that the original poster is referring to or are you following something from the book? Any further details would be helpful for those of us who cannot go to their site (in California I believe).

Yes, the managing the protocol is kind a tricky part. Here is what they recommended: internal trigger points should be done every other day, especially in first 2 months. The exercises/ stretching and the external trigger points followed by Relaxation should be done daily. According to protocol, the relaxation part should take 3-4 hours a day. Of course no one has this type of flexibility in our lives. So, here is what I’m doing for last 7 months. I’m doing the external trigger points first 15-20 minutes, then another 10-15 minutes of exercises and then relaxation 30-60 minutes every day. The key word is doing this daily, especially the relaxation part. I noticed when I am doing the relaxation twice a day( for 30 minutes each) it helps with symptoms even better. Usually im following this routine in evenings.

First 2-3 months were hard to adjust to this schedule but now since im seeing an improvement, I just keeping following this every day. I can tell you for sure - it does help! And when you see the difference, it motivates you even more.
