Peeing Your Pants is Not Normal
Bladder Leakage Is Like an Injury: How to Recover and Rebuild Confidence
Bladder leakage is your body's way of signaling that something isn’t quite right.
Picture this: You’re at the gym, crushing your workout, and suddenly, you pee your pants. It catches you off guard just when you were feeling great.
That moment of leakage can leave you feeling defeated and embarrassed.
But here’s the thing—just like a muscle injury, bladder leakage requires attention and time to heal.
Recovery doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process. When you injure a muscle, you don’t expect it to heal in a day. You may need exercises, physical therapy, and modifications to your routine to keep moving forward.
Bladder leakage is no different. It’s a sign that your body needs care and adjustment. But it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It doesn’t mean you have to stop working out or give up on your goals.
Instead, it’s a call to reflect and address the problem.
Here’s how to approach it:
Modify Your Movements: Just like with any injury, you might need to adjust how you’re moving to avoid further strain.
Reflect and Learn: Ask yourself, what triggered the leakage? What can you do to improve? What should you focus on to prevent it in the future?
When I work with patients experiencing bladder leakage, I start by identifying the specific activities that trigger the issue. We discuss bladder habits and then assess functional movements—how you move during your daily activities.
I also emphasize the importance of the basics, like proper breathing and pelvic floor mobility throughout the day. Often, these foundational practices are overlooked or not done consistently enough to make a difference.
If you’re looking for guidance, try incorporating this quick Bedtime Mobility Routine into your day.
