Did you know leakage in female athletes is fairly common?

However, it’s not normal!

Listening to our local radio station (Alice 97.3 for my Bay Area followers), the DJ mentioned being a high school xc runner and had leakage.

It happens to the best of us!

AND pelvic floor PT can help.

Leakage happens for various reasons:

1) High stress
2) Tight pelvic floor muscles
3) Tight hip and core muscles
4) Hormones (which I forgot to mention in video)

Pelvic floor therapy can help improve your symptoms.
if you know, a high school athlete experiencing urinary leakage, urge them, and their parents, to get to a pelvic floor physical therapist!

“Root cause” has become such a buzzword that some doctors are now mocking the term. But the truth is, getting to the root cause is real, when it’s done right.

An example: if someone recommends Kegels for urinary leakage without assessing the pelvic floor, they’re not finding the root cause, they’re just making assumptions.

Urinary leakage might stem from:

Fascial restrictions
Pelvic floor tightness
Muscle coordination issues (deep vs superficial layers)
Or yes, sometimes true weakness

It happens in orthopedics:
Knee pain isn’t always about the knee. It can come from ankle tightness or glute weakness. Without looking beyond the obvious, we miss what’s actually driving the issue.

The term isn’t the problem, lazy assessments are. Let’s bring real integrity to root-cause care.

Pain during intimacy is common, but it’s NOT normal!

✨ If s*x, tampons, or pelvic exams feel painful, your pelvic floor might be holding tension.

Dilators can help! They gently retrain your muscles to relax and stretch comfortably over time. Here’s how to use them:
📏 Start small – Begin with the smallest size and go slow.
🫁 Breathe & relax – Deep belly breathing helps release tension.
⏳ Stay consistent – Use them a few times per week and progress at your own pace.

Don’t force it! Pain is your body’s way of saying it needs more time. If dilators feel impossible, pelvic floor PT can help!

💬 Have you heard of dilators before?

We’re hosting a workshop on Intimacy and Sexual Wellness on 4/5.

My absolute favorite weekend is ’s Mastermind. I am forever grateful to learn with and from this amazing group.

My mind is challenged in so many different ways, from thinking nervous system, visceral AND ortho along with the soft skills that come with providing patient care.

If you’re on provider, TAKE Anna’s courses. NOW!

Also so grateful (aka ) got to share miles along the ocean to catch up all thing pelvic, being a mom, a biz owner and runner.

Thanks for the 📸
