Exercise: Leakey Bladder Aid

Title: Can Exercise Prevent a Leaky Bladder?

A leaky bladder, also known as urinary incontinence, is a common issue that many people face, especially as they age. While there are various causes of urinary incontinence, such as childbirth, aging, and certain medical conditions, research suggests that exercise can play a role in preventing and managing this condition.

Exercise, particularly pelvic floor exercises, can help strengthen the muscles that control the bladder and improve bladder control. A study published in the International Urogynecology Journal found that women who performed pelvic floor muscle exercises experienced significant improvements in urinary incontinence symptoms compared to those who did not exercise.

In addition to pelvic floor exercises, other forms of exercise can also be beneficial for bladder health. Regular physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight, which is important for preventing urinary incontinence. Excess weight can put pressure on the bladder and pelvic floor muscles, leading to leakage.

Furthermore, exercise can help improve overall muscle tone, including the muscles that support the bladder and urethra. This can help prevent leaks by providing better support to the bladder and surrounding structures.

At Modality Life Practice, we offer a range of classes and therapies that can help improve bladder health and prevent urinary incontinence.
