Do you leak urine when you exercise or sneeze? What about that belly… does it pooch out during certain movements? Maybe you are pregnant, or just had a baby and your body needs a little TLC to whip it back into shape…

Do you have a bad habit of holding your breath, or you feel like you just can’t coordinate your breathing during work outs?

“Well then let’s get to the bottom of this!” (…pun intended)

Join us Sunday - March 4th @ 10am to discuss pelvic floor health and what you can do to help!

Urinary incontinence affects 2 out of 5 women. We want to work out to stay fit and be healthy, right? But for some, these conditions may be a source of anxiety and cause embarrassment. Where should you start? With your pelvic floor! Come and learn about common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction and how you can put an end to these conditions.

Some things that will be covered in the seminar:

  • Anatomy of the pelvic floor

  • What is normal?

  • What is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, and the different types?

  • How does all of this relate to CrossFit?

  • Things that may make the problem worse.

  • What can you do to help the problem?

 

Don’t just deal with it.  Put an end to it! Even if you do not have leaking of urine, you will benefit from this educational get together. These muscles span the base of the bony pelvis and are responsible for not only continence of urine and stool, but stability of the pelvis and spine. They are an integral part of your core that are often neglected. I’d love to teach you how to give this part of your body the attention it needs!
