Breathe Better, Pee Less: The Secret to Bladder Control For Moms And Active Women
HI FRIEND,
Today's episode is inspired by all of my patients! If you’re a women, this is for you!
Did you know that the way you breathe affects your bladder control? Many women unknowingly make their stress incontinence worse by holding their breath or breathing too shallowly. When you don’t use your diaphragm properly, your pelvic floor can become overly tight, leading to nerve compression and weakened bladder support.
In this episode, we dive into the power of breathwork and how deep diaphragmatic breathing can relax your pelvic floor, improve blood flow, and even stimulate the lymphatic system to reduce swelling. Plus, we discuss how breathing correctly can support fertility and help prevent bladder leaks caused by running, jumping, sneezing, or even laughing.
Breathwork isn’t just about relaxation—it’s a crucial tool for pelvic floor health. When you breathe deeply, you activate the diaphragm, which works in harmony with your pelvic floor to provide stability and support to your bladder. We’ll also talk about the pudendal nerve, which helps the urethra contract, and how improper breathing can compress this nerve, making leaks worse. If you're ready to take control of your body and stop peeing your pants, this episode is packed with simple, actionable steps to help you breathe better and strengthen your pelvic floor naturally!
Our breath is EVERYTHING! Try this quick test to see if you’re breathing correctly!
I would love to invite you to my course Stop Peeing Your Pants , where you can get rid of this problem all together, and become leak-free in 90 days or less! We really shouldn’t have an issue with holding our bladder and there is always a deeper cause. For example, when I was dealing with urge incontinence, my root cause was the food/drinks that were in my diet because there were so many bladder irritants I was consuming. I lead you through all of this, the education, workouts, and have a plan on a calendar, a 1:1 session with me, private facebook group for Q & A’s! Check out both tier options below!
