Leaking When You Work Out? Let’s Talk About It (St Paul Pelvic Floor PT)
You’re mid-workout. Maybe it’s a jump, a sprint, or a heavy lift—and it happens.
A little leak.
And suddenly you’re thinking:
“Is this just part of being a mom?”
“Do I just need to do more Kegels?”
At The Good Movement Pelvic Health & Wellness, we want you to know:
👉 Leakage during exercise is common—but it’s not “normal” and you deserve better.
Staying active throughout the life span is so important. It helps us maintain strength, function, and improves our mental health.
Don’t let leaking hold you back from living a life where you fill strong and confident in your body!
Why Am I Leaking During Exercise?
In the Twin Cities, we see this all the time—especially in active women who are doing all the “right” things.
Leakage can happen when your pelvic floor isn’t coordinating well with pressure in your system. This can look like:
Pelvic floor muscles that are too weak
Pelvic floor muscles that are too tight
Poor timing between your breath, core, and pelvic floor
High-impact movement without proper load management
Changes in estrogen levels that impact pelvic floor muscles and vulvar tissue
So no—it’s not just about doing more Kegels or making your pelvic floor stronger.
The Missing Piece: Pressure + Coordination
At The Good Movement, we look at your body as a system.
When you lift, run, or jump, your body creates pressure. Your pelvic floor’s job is to respond to that pressure.
If that system isn’t working well together → leakage happens.
That’s why we focus on:
Breath + core connection
Timing and coordination (not just strength)
Movement patterns specific to YOUR workouts and goals
