Why do many Women ‘Leak’ when they work out?
So apart from strengthening your pelvic floor muscles which is the commonly accepted exercise given to women with a weak bladder; I’m guessing you might also want to learn about the structures above the pelvic floor, the psoas muscles, that produce huge downward pressure onto the Pelvic floor exacerbating the problem that is never talked about and find out why it is that many women leak when they work out.
The Psoas Muscles Create a Huge Downward Pressure On Our Bladder
So the huge downward force is why many women leak when they workout. Most workouts create intra – abdominal pressure just from lifting and jumping and it is this pressure that also creates a downward pressure over the bladder.

So having that downward pressure acting over the Bladder is going to contribute to why women leak when they work out.
In treating these muscles in my clinic for Back pain many of my clients tell me that it has greatly helped with their incontinence and I was not even aware that they had incontinence.
They tell me that they have stopped going to the gym or running, even stopped going out with friends for a walk because of the Fear of leaking when they work out. They tell me they have to wear pads when they just go out for the day in case they cough or sneeze causing leaking.
So if your one of the many women who leak when working out or experiencing this problem or you know someone who does just pass this onto them so they can get the best information on the other contributing cause.
And lets face it many women feel stigmatized even talking about this problem, so may hide it or have to wear pads wherever they go. So why do many women leak when they work out? Even just lifting their own children or avoiding certain normal activities, like lifting the groceries into the car.
Let me show you about the other structures that contributes to this problem that has helped many of my clients.
