Leaking, Laughing, Lifting: 4 Reasons you're not Weak!


Listen Later

Want practical tips on how to approach healing incontinence based on the real reasons you are leaking?

Listen up!

In this solo episode, Marianne busts the myth that all pelvic floor symptoms stem from weakness. You'll learn how overactive muscles, neurological misfiring, and core coordination issues can all play a role in pelvic floor dysfunction. And strategies to get better!

If you've ever experienced leaking when laughing, running, or lifting, and were told to “just do Kegels”, this conversation is for you! 

What This Episode Covers:

  • Why leaking isn’t always a strength issue
  • The difference between underactive andoveractive pelvic floors
  • How breathing and timing matter more than we think
  • The surprising role of the nervous system in pelvic floor health
  • What compensation patterns are — and how to spot them
  • Why “tight” doesn’t mean “strong”
  • Why some bodies need coordination, not just contraction
  • When to seek support from a pelvic health physio or from your movement therapist
