Positively You

My online programme FOUNDATION has the best members.

I feel lucky to start my day with a group of ladies who, like me, want to enhance their bodies; move well and feel good.

Movement is medicine and all of us go through stages in life where, childbirth, injuries, trauma, hormones and aging can impact our physical ability.

The answer is to create habits that enhance your wellbeing. Adding restorative movement to your day is a huge part of the solution.

A persistent Cough can place frequent high pressure on the pelvic floor. This can lead to pelvic floor muscle fatigue and weakness.
Covid, Winter Colds and Flu that make us cough a lot can have an effect on our pelvic floor muscles and sometimes people who don't normally leak start to have an issue when coughing and sneezing .
Typically the issue is that your muscles are tired and can't function properly.
Remember one of the jobs of our pelvic floor muscles is to keep us continent and dry, if they are tired and weak.... Leaks might happen.

Is this you?

Want some tips?

1: set up for success. Try "the knack". Before a cough pre- engage your pelvic floor slightly.
Then lean forwards and try aiming your cough upwards (and into your elbow). This aligns your pelvis in a position where it is easier to activate the right muscles.

2. Give your pelvic floor a break. It's working hard all day. Give it a rest by trying some pelvic floor recovery positions. Check out my previous post about pelvic floor relaxation.

3. When you are feeling a bit better implement some pelvic floor muscle training. This is important for both men and women. You need to be able contract and relax your pelvic floor muscles without using your abdominal muscles, thighs or gluts to help. Next time you are unwell you will be grateful for building up some better baseline strength. Hot tip my FOUNDATION programme ticks the boxes.

4. Talk to your GP about managing your cough. Try all the home remedies to try and decrease your coughing.

Always get insight from your health professional if symptoms persist.

Feel better soon!
