Active Women

An active lifestyle can take a toll on your vagina, bladder and pelvic floor.

Some exercises have the potential to put downward pressure on the part of your body that helps you control your bladder and bowel. This can result in a feeling that exercise is impossible, particularly as you get older.

The good news is there are ways to treat these problems without giving up the exercises and adventures you love. The first step is to understand what’s going on, then you can put a plan in place that will help build strength where you need it.

Regardless of your age, you should be able to work out without leakage or the ‘urge to go’ making it feel impossible. Let’s get started with a simple conversation.

  • Unable to squat without leakage pressure
