Ladies - let's talk weeeeeeee đ
High-impact, fast-paced, and full of sudden stops, pivots, and jumps⌠netball places a huge load on your pelvic floor. And yet, so many players are dealing with symptoms in silence.
đ§ Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) - leaking with jumping, landing, or sprinting is more common than you think.
⥠Pelvic pain - including deep pelvic ache, heaviness, or discomfort with movement can also show up, especially with repetitive load and fatigue.
đ¨ This is NOT âjust part of the game.â
đ¨ And itâs NOT something you have to put up with.
Your pelvic floor is part of your core system - it needs strength, coordination, and the ability to relax just as much as it contracts.
⨠What can help:
⢠Pelvic floor assessment (not just guessing your exercises)
⢠Learning to coordinate breath + movement (especially landing mechanics)
⢠Strength + impact training that includes your pelvic floor
⢠Managing load across training, games, and life (hello busy schedules đ)
đŹ If youâre leaking, feeling pressure, or noticing pelvic pain during or after games, youâre not alone, and support is available.
Strong athletes take care of their whole body - including their pelvic floor đŞ
