Ladies - let's talk weeeeeeee 🏐
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.
💧 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.
🚨 This is NOT “just part of the game.”
🚨 And it’s 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 👏)
💬 If you’re leaking, feeling pressure, or noticing pelvic pain during or after games, you’re not alone, and support is available.
Strong athletes take care of their whole body - including their pelvic floor 💪
