I remember a pregnant client of mine who in the past had done lots of Ashtanga yoga, and whilst the rest of her muscles and tissues felt soft and were incredibly relaxed, her vaginal muscles and tissues felt like rock. At the first perineal examination at 36 weeks her lower vaginal muscles would not budge at all when pressed. I sent her home with some oil and instructions on how to do the vaginal and perineal stretch massage but thought it would be too late to soften such hard tissues. Within just three days of using the oil and performing the self-stretch she herself reported that she had noticed a big change in her vaginal elasticity and by the time she gave birth, three weeks later, her perineum was sufficiently soft to prevent any tearing at all – a great result despite a difficult start.
