Endometriosis and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
JUN 19, 2024Endometriosis can significantly impact one’s quality of life, but a well-rounded approach with various strategies can help to manage the condition.
Read MoreThe New Year is upon us - many of us may be making resolutions to increase our physical fitness. This goal can be complicated by pelvic floor issues like urinary leakage (otherwise known as incontinence).
Do you avoid running, jumping or lifting due to fear of peeing your pants at the gym? Or can you only wear black leggings or shorts to avoid an embarrassing wet spot after participating in a workout class? If you can relate, you may benefit from pelvic floor physical therapy.
Your pelvic floor is a set of muscles that make up the base of your core. The pelvic floor muscles work together with your diaphragm and abdominal muscles to provide you with a strong foundation to be able to go for a run, lift weights, or do a high intensity interval training workout that includes plyometrics.
Your pelvic floor is highly active during exercise, and it is essential you can appropriately coordinate your pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, and breathing to help prevent leakage.
If you need help to start a new fitness program or to maximize your current workouts with less leakage, a CHI Health pelvic health physical therapist can help. Reach out to our Pelvic Health Navigator at (402) 717-7358 or visit our website.
