Surprisingly… coughing!
A strong cough creates a sudden spike in abdominal pressure, which your pelvic floor has to quickly counteract.
Running still loads the pelvic floor, but in smaller, repetitive pulses with each step.
So if you’re dealing with a cold, allergies or asthma and noticing more leaks or heaviness, you’re not imagining it.
One of our Women’s Health Physio’s can help you support and protect your pelvic floor through both everyday life and exercise. Make a time to come and see us via our website hillswomensphysio.com.au or phone or email us on 0434 812 616 or info@hillswomensphysio.com.au
