074 Is Peeing When You Sneeze Normal?


Listen Later

Do you pee when you sneeze? Or cough? Laugh? Run? While it may be common, it’s not necessarily normal and you don’t have to just put up with it. On today’s episode, we’re focusing on one of the most critical aspects of your core and spinal stability - the pelvic floor (and no, this isn’t unique to women as all humans have pelvic floors!).

I share...

  • Why a weak pelvic floor is to blame for peeing when you laugh, but kegels aren’t the answer
  • What breathing mechanics have to do with it
  • And when you should consider going to a pelvic floor physical therapist
