Brief Summary
This video discusses the role of physical therapy in addressing erectile dysfunction (ED) by focusing on improving blood circulation within the penis. It explains how the penis functions as a sponge filled with blood vessels and how age-related issues like atherosclerosis, internal clotting, and capillary damage can impair erectile function. The video suggests that physical therapy, particularly using a penis pump at home, can help rehabilitate blood vessels, improve blood flow, and strengthen the tissues responsible for maintaining an erection.
- Erectile dysfunction is often related to impaired blood circulation in the penis.
- Physical therapy can help rehabilitate blood vessels and improve blood flow.
- Using a penis pump at home is a suggested method to strengthen blood vessels and improve erectile function.
The video introduces the concept of physical therapy for the penis, clarifying that while the penis isn't a muscle, it functions as a sponge-like structure filled with capillaries, arteries, and veins. Arteries bring blood in, while veins keep the blood in, and capillaries facilitate communication between them to fill the sponge with blood, enabling an erection. The presenter notes that erectile dysfunction often arises from issues with blood circulation, which can worsen with age.
The discussion shifts to blood circulation and its relevance to physical therapy, emphasizing that blood vessel walls are muscular and contract/relax to pump blood. Atherosclerosis, or hardening of blood vessel walls due to scar tissue and calcium deposits, impairs their pumping function. Veins also need to maintain valve closure to hold blood in for a sustained erection. Internal clotting or plaque formation, influenced by lifestyle, cholesterol levels, diabetes, toxins (nicotine, alcohol), and environmental factors, narrows blood vessels. Smaller blood vessels or capillaries are susceptible to chemical and internal damage, thinning walls and collapsing, leading to a loss of blood vessels with age, which can weaken erections and reduce penis size.
The video explains how physical therapy can aid in treating erectile dysfunction by repairing blood vessels. Shockwave therapy can be used to address atherosclerosis and stimulate new blood vessel formation. Rehabilitation involves strengthening these blood vessels through physical therapy, re-educating the muscles of the blood vessels to enhance their pumping ability and endurance. This process aims to restore the body's capacity for healthy erections.
The presenter suggests using a penis pump at home as a tool for physical therapy. The pump expands blood vessels, strengthening them through pressure. Regular use, a couple of times a day, can retrain arteries to pump blood into the penis, reinforce vein walls to retain blood, seal valves to prevent blood leakage, and stimulate the production of new capillaries. For mild erectile dysfunction, using a pump alone may suffice to re-enhance erection strength without needing additional treatments like shockwave therapy. The video creator will provide a list of recommended pumps in the video description.

0:00 hi guys Dr arcade with rebalance physical therapy for the penis what is this guy talking about how's it relates to the penis I have physical therapy for the spine for the joints muscles tendons maybe vestibular system maybe a pulmonary system to breathe better vascular system there's also Physical Therapy houses relates to the penis well let's dissect it you absolutely right if you tell me arcade the penis is not a muscle we cannot do physical therapy for it and you're right penis is not a muscle as a matter of fact penis consists of a colonist tissue make it simple it's a sponge sponge that's full of millions of capillaries arteries and veins we have some major arteries and veins the
0:46 arteries are there to bring the blood in and the veins are there to keep the blood in now the capillaries are there to communicate between veins and others and fill the whole sponge with blood and that's exactly how we get erected and that's exactly why with age we start losing that ability to get erection because majority of the cases the problems they're actually has to do with blood circulation well let's talk about blood circulation and how's that relevant to physical therapy the wall of the blood vessel is a muscle it's actually a spot muscle it has the same functions and the other muscle it contracts and relaxes well it does it to pump the blood when it contracts and relaxes it pushes the blood through when it stops Contracting relaxing it
1:33 stops pushing the blood through so few things that can happen to blood vessels number one atherosclerosis what is atherosclerosis other sclerosis is a hardening of the blood vessel wall in other words that smooth muscle fills with scar tissue and even some calcium tissue it deposits there from wear and tear and overuse and of course different toxins that we're exposed to but the point is it stops doing the essential function of the blood vessel it stops pumping so there's no longer help within the blood vessel it turns into a pipe it still carries the blood but it doesn't assist therefore it doesn't enhance the circulation whose veins is almost the same with a little addition when it comes to erection the
2:18 arteries bring the blood in the veins have to fill up with blood and close the valves to hold the blood in otherwise and I'm sure many of you noticed it you get erected and all of a sudden you lose it right away without even starting the sexual relationship so what happens all the veins is just too weak the valves open up and the blood leaks out the second problem is internal clotting or internal plaquing of the blood vessel for some patients is you know a lifestyle an overweight perhaps abundance of cholesterol bad cholesterol in the body for other patients is problems like diabetes or immune problems or toxins like nicotine or
3:05 alcohol or even the toxins in the air and the water we drink and the air we breathe so all of those toxins including some of the internal problems can cause an erosion inside of the lining of the blood vessel and that allows that cholesterol to start adhering to the walls and starts narrowing down the veins orders from inside so it closes diameter of the blood vessel limiting the amount of blood that can leak through the blood vessel third but not least is a problem with smaller blood vessels or capillaries small blood vessels are very susceptible to chemical damage as well as some of the internal damages like autoimmune problems or high blood sugar level and what happens to those walls they become very thin and the
3:51 blood vessel collapses as a matter of fact with age we'll lose a lot of blood vessels especially those small capillaries and that's exactly why you probably noticed that that along the years you started getting maybe a little weaker erection maybe the size of the penis shrunk a little bit maybe the girth of the penis is not the same as it used to be you know in general you cannot hold the erection for as long as it used to hold so how's the physical therapy can help well when we start treatment of erectile dysfunction or even a weakness interaction or even trying to stimulate the ability for you to have a better erection we have to start first and foremost repairing your blood vessels and we'll start repairing your blood vessels we usually use shock wave
4:37 therapy there's a different video that you can watch that spells out exactly how we do it the benefits the contraindications the indications and everything else please follow a channel you'll find a lot of useful information there but when we talk about further Rehabilitation of the problem we need to understand that once we do the work here in the office and we can restore a lot of that circulation right we can break the adhesions so remove atherosclerosis we can stimulate the formation of new blood vessels new vascularization to occur at much much higher rate so you can actually produce a lot of new capillaries and refill the cavernous tissue with blood but now we need to make those blood vessels stronger and that's exactly what the rehabilitation
5:23 comes into play so the physical therapy is for the blood vessels we can re-educate the muscles of the blood vessels the water blood vessels just like we would re-educate your biceps or triceps or any other muscle to become stronger to create more endurance for that blood vessel and to be able to pump at much stronger rate therefore really restore the ability of your body to have a healthy erection what do we use for that well there's a great news you can do it by yourself at home and that's an amazing tool what we suggest is to use a penis pump yes it may look silly and weird but it really works just like any other good
6:09 Physical Therapy would work the penis pump allows you to pump the blood into the blood vessel so basically expand right and by expansion you will put the pressure on the blood vessel to become stronger it literally takes five minutes you pump it you deflate allowing the penis to keep the direction as long as it does and then it relaxes and then you pump again you do it few times and you time just like any other exercise the best is to do it couple of times a day you will not believe how well it actually works it will retrain your arteries to pump the blood into the penis it will retrain the walls of your veins to keep the blood and the penis and close those valves seal them so you can actually don't lose
6:55 a reaction before you ejaculate and of course you're gonna start producing significantly more capillaries because you're pumping the blood into those new small young capillaries to become stronger to be able to fill with blood and and birth out and of course you're going to help your body to produce more capillaries and make this stronger as well now if you just have a mild case of erectile dysfunction or once in a while you don't feel you know the same strengths of the erection you used to have pump would be also very sufficient because you may not need an actual treatment you know with shockwave and everything else that we usually do especially in early stages you can just try to re-enhance it with using a pump
7:42 so I hope you find this video useful and if you do please like it by the way if you have a question what type of pump is better to purchase we're going to put a list of some of the recommendations in the description of this video started physical therapy today start pumping and get stronger all the best
