The Impact of High-Impact Sports on Pelvic Floor Health: What You Need to Know
Pelvic floor health is something that many people overlook until they experience symptoms like incontinence, pelvic pain, or prolapse. However, the pelvic floor is an essential part of your body's support system, responsible for supporting vital organs like the bladder, uterus, and rectum. For individuals who participate in high-impact sports—whether it's running, jumping, gymnastics, or contact sports—there can be both positive and negative effects on pelvic floor function.
