1. Leaking When You Cough, Sneeze, or Laugh
This is called stress incontinence, and it’s not something you have to live with. It often indicates weak pelvic floor muscles or poor coordination between your core and breath.

2. A Heavy or Bulging Sensation in the Pelvis

Feeling like something is “falling down there”? You may be experiencing pelvic organ prolapse, where the bladder, uterus, or rectum shift from their normal positions. A pelvic floor therapist can help manage symptoms and prevent progression.

3. Painful Intercourse or Pelvic Pain

Pain isn’t just in your head—and it’s not something you should ignore. Overactive or tight pelvic floor muscles can lead to discomfort that affects intimacy, mobility, and mental health.

4. Trouble Starting or Fully Emptying the Bladder or Bowel

This may signal coordination issues or tension in the pelvic floor muscles. With proper assessment, we can improve these functions naturally.

5. Feeling Disconnected From Your Core or Posture

Your pelvic floor is part of your core. If you feel weak, unstable, or unbalanced, pelvic floor dysfunction might be the missing link.
