Cold and flu season can be tough on your pelvic floor. Coughing and sneezing put extra pressure on your pelvic floor muscles, sometimes leading to unexpected leakage. Learn how to protect and strengthen your pelvic floor this season with expert guidance from our Boston pelvic floor specialists at Foundations Pelvic Health.

At Foundation Pelvic Health’s Boston clinic, our pelvic floor physical therapists talk a lot about breathing. Your breath isn’t just about getting oxygen — it’s a tool for pelvic health, core strength, and whole-body stability. That’s why our pelvic floor PTs spend time helping you connect your breathing with your movement. When your core canister is working in harmony, you feel stronger, more supported, and more in control. Let’s break it down and talk about why it’s such an important part of pelvic health!

Urinary leakage is a common issue for many women - about 1 in 3 women will experience some form of urinary incontinence in their lives. While this issue is common, it doesn’t mean it’s something you have to live with. Pelvic floor physical therapy can offer effective solutions to help manage and alleviate symptoms to help get back to doing all the things you love to do while staying dry!

Your bladder and pelvic floor work in tandem to prevent issues like urgency, urinary incontinence, and discomfort. Whether you're looking to reduce urinary leaking or alleviate pelvic discomfort, adopting these habits can have a significant positive impact.
