Alright Doc thanks for the reply and wow man congrats on your success I hope to have that success in my next 2 - 3 months lol. I will be starting tomorrow with my routine and tracking progress from there. Im going on full blow hardmode like you said RomeoMD and im going to follow what you told me by doing hindi and belly breaths and continue with stretches I also have am anterior pelvic tilt so I probably have to fix that as well but im sure thats not the cause of my Hard flaccid.
You're welcome, Millionaire. Thank you
Ok. Great :thumb:
I have some questions for you.
1) what do you think was most important to your recovery like what exercises in particular.
Everything. Everything written in the first post is important. Perhaps supplements and medication can be secondary, if your diet is perfect. But all the other items are important. You have to apply all of them, simultaneously.
You can ask me, "Aren't Reverse Kegels and Hindi Squats the most important thing?" No. If you do RKs and Hindi Squats, but, at the same time, you masturbate every day, you are full of stress, you do not train posture and flexibility, nor you sit in a softer chair (if you are sitting all day), the effect and effectiveness of RKs and Hindi Squats are going to be weak. Everything is important.
2) how do you heal a IC injury? Or how do you strengthen it?
The answer to that question is exactly all the items that are written in the treatment list of the first post
This entire thread is dedicated to healing injuries and muscular contractures of the IC muscle. That's what Hard Flaccid is. Regarding specifically the strengthening of the IC muscle, I recommend no more than my 95% flexibility and 5% IC Kegels routine during Edging. And I only started that routine after 6 weeks of pure flexibility. You have a muscular contracture. You mostly need flexibility in the pelvic floor. Applying a higher proportion of Kegels is contraindicated and risky.
3)Have you heard of angion method? Apparently it helps heal Hard flaccid.
Yes, I've heard of it. The first time I read about Angion Method was 2 years ago. Regarding Hard Flaccid, I think that if the benefits exist, they will be few.
First, regarding Penis Enlargment. The Angion Method is nothing more than a very light Jelqing and a moderate Edging exercise. I think it is simply because of this that some rare members claim to have some penis size gains over the course of several months. But its effectiveness for PE is very low. However, it may have benefits regarding the quality of erection, because it improves blood flow (arterial and venous) in the penis.
Regarding Hard Flaccid. The Angion Method is mostly a vascular exercise. Hard Flaccid is not a vascular disease. It's a muscular problem. Which causes, secondarily, a decrease in blood flow, due to the muscle contracture. Therefore, the Angion Method is not acting directly in the cause of Hard Flaccid.
"Romero, but some people have improved Hard Flaccid with the Angion Method." - I know. I read the cases. I think the only way that the Angion Method can have a small
direct benefit on Hard Flaccid is:
1 - Through the Angion Method 2.0 - you are activating the Bulbocavernous Reflex when you are squeezing the penis glans. Which will give rise to a Front Kegel, which gives a little physiotherapeutic stimulation. But I think it will have no more advantages than my Edging routine in the first post. Also, don't forget that doing Front Kegels alone is highly counterproductive for Hard Flaccid. You can make the injury worse. You have a muscular contracture, you need flexibility training. Hence, my routine of 95% flexibility and 5% strength.
2 - Through the Angion Method 3.0 (lying down) - when you apply the continuous movement to the corpus spongiosum (CS), you are applying a small stretch to the IC and BC muscles at the base of the penis. And, consequently, applying a small physiotherapeutic stimulus. Once again, I think it will have no more advantages than my Edging routine.
Indirect benefit:
1 - Theoretically you are improving the quality of erections. It will have the same effect as stopping watching porn, decreasing the frequency of masturbation, practicing Edging, exercising, sleep well, eat well and taking supplements that improve the blood flow of the penis. However, the origin of Hard Flaccid is not vascular. It's muscular.
Therefore, in my opinion, the Angion Method does not add any benefit to what is already advised in the first post. If you still want to give the Angion Method a chance, pay attention to excess Kegels. And you can't force erections with Hard Flaccid. You will make the injury worse if you do. The percentage of Reverse Kegels has to be much higher if you want to cure Hard Flaccid. Do the Angion Method always with Reverse Kegels, if you want to try it.
4) Did the splits help or contribute to your recovery?Are they necessary? Thanks in advance
Hahaha :biggrin1: Interesting. Several people have asked me this question...
I admit that it is my fault. Most likely because of my post 21. Alright...
-
No, I don't think they are strictly necessary.
-
Yes, I think they contribute to recovery.
A LOT.
"Romero, what's the damn logic?" - What matters is the journey. Not the destination. You need to improve your flexibility. Period. By improving flexibility, you will improve your posture and you will improve the mobility of all the muscles that are around the pelvic floor, increasing the flexibility of the pelvic floor. This does not happen only when you manage to do full splits, right?
I am cured of Hard Flaccid, but I am far from being able to do full splits. However, I am much more flexible.
A LOT more flexible. And that was extraordinarily important for my recovery. I can't do the full splits, but the flexibility I gained was very important to cure Hard Flaccid.
Therefore, no, doing the full splits is not necessary. But your goal is to be able to do them
