Manage episode 471202100 series 3647649
💦 Breaking the silence, smashing the stigma, and getting real about pelvic health!
In This Episode
Ever had a workout turn into an unexpected waterfall moment? You're not alone! This week, we dive into a real-life listener story about stress incontinence at the gym. Ruth, Faye, and Lizzie break it down, why it happens, how it affects confidence, and, most importantly, what you can do about it!
What We Cover:
✔️ What stress incontinence is and why it happens 💪
✔️ The emotional toll of leaks—and how to regain confidence
✔️ The Pee-O-Meter of Shame—how does this story rank? 🚨
✔️ Proven techniques to prevent leaks during workouts
✔️ Expert advice on pelvic floor exercises (and why you might be doing them wrong!)
✔️ What’s Leaking This Week?—we discuss The Guardian’s take on weightlifting and bladder leaks
🎙 Key Takeaways:
💡 Stress incontinence is common, but it’s NOT normal—you can take action!
💡 Simple strategies, from pre-workout prep to breathing techniques, can help
💡 A pelvic health physiotherapist can assess and support your recovery
💡 You don’t have to ‘just rock on’—you CAN be strong AND leak-free!
