Inside the Box

Should you participate in weight lifting after a prolapse diagnosis? What are some of the most common reasons athletes leak when lifting weights? What are the pros and cons of bracing when lifting heavy weights?

In this episode, we pick the brain of Julia Hlaing. Julia is a physiotherapist working in Women’s Health, just like us! However Julia has a special interest and further training in the areas of Crossfit, Olympic Lifting and high-intensity exercise. We discuss all things prolapse, leaking and pelvic floor in the context of athletic performance and high-intensity exercise.
