Leaking and Pelvic Pain is Common During Lifting, Running, and Jumping...But It Isn't Normal.

 

​If you’re struggling with pelvic floor issues during exercise (leaking, pressure, pain, etc), you’re far from alone. However, we may be some of the first ones to tell you that you don't have to accept it.

​

Pelvic Floor Rehab traditionally gets thought of as just doing Kegel's or completely avoiding the activities that cause problems to allow your pelvic floor to "rest." But that won't prepare your pelvic floor to rip that barbell off the floor, or to tolerate your 40 kilometers of running this week.

​

During pelvic floor physio at Apollo, we take you through a 5-stage Rehab Process to ensure that you are prepared for everything you will encounter in your active life. That includes clear goals and tests to know exactly when you are ready for the next phase of rehab.

​​

Our pelvic floor physios have both personal and professional experience in dealing with severe Pelvic Floor injuries, and coming back stronger than ever before. And remember, Pelvic Floor Physio isn't just for Women! Men have a pelvic floor too!

The problem with most pelvic floor rehab plans:

  • Lack of a clear plan or guidelines on when it is safe for you to return to your sport.

  • General "pelvic floor" exercises with no clear progressions towards things that will actually help - running, squatting, deadlifting, etc. 

  • No clear framework to help with making adjustments in order to build the strength and coordination you need without unneeded flares of symptoms.

  • Fear after you are told that you will likely have to deal with your symptoms for as long as you are doing your activities.

Our Pelvic Floor Rehab Process

  • Lifters dealing with pressure, pain, or leaking when squatting, deadlifting, or pressing.

  • Runners and endurance athletes dealing with leaking or pelvic pain during training.

  • Active people that want to workout and be active without fear or restriction.

  • Anyone frustrated that their previous Pelvic Floor rehab experiences didn't feel like it progressed them towards their goals. 

  • Pre- or Post-Partum moms looking to get back to an active lifestyle after birth.
