Bladder Leaks During Workouts? How Pelvic Therapy Can Keep You Dry and Strong
If you have ever experienced bladder leaks while weightlifting, running, or exercising in a class setting, know that you are not alone. Many women (and men) do, and when they experience it they often don’t know where to turn for help. The good news is bladder leaks aren’t something you have to accept as “normal.” With the right care, especially pelvic therapy, you can be dry, confident, and strong while doing what you love.
At Proactive Physical Therapy Sunnyvale, we offer women’s health therapy to help with bladder control and pelvic floor issues. Whether you’re a new mom returning to exercise, or noticing changes as you age, we’re here to help you take back control.
Why Bladder Leaks Occur During Exercise
Workout-related leaks are tied to pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor refers to the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowels. When these muscles are unable to handle the pressure exerted on them during exercise, especially if it involves movements such as jumps, running or heavy lifting, there is a consequent leak.
Common causes include:
- Post-pregnancy changes
- Hormonal changes during menopause
- High-impact sports or repeated physical stress
- Poor posture and core weakness
Pelvic therapy aims to retrain and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. At Proactive Physical Therapy Sunnyvale, our therapists utilize various techniques and strategies such as:
- Pelvic Floor Muscle Training: Gentle, guided routines that rebuild strength and endurance.
- Breathing and posture techniques: How to coordinate your core and pelvic floor.
- Biofeedback therapy: Real-time feedback to help you connect and engage the right muscles.
- Lifestyle guidance: Hydration, exercise modifications, and stress management tips.
This means that the affected area will be significantly stronger and more stable, which will definitely boost your confidence during workouts.
