How to Tell if Your Pelvic Floor Is Weak or Tight (and Why It Matters)

Leaking when you sneeze, cough, jump or lift weights can both be a sign of weakness as well as tightness. Tightness often comes from overuse and poor posture habits...while weakness shows up as lack of support, stability or control. This is why It’s important to know the difference so you can understand what your body needs more of to start eliminating leaks and embarrassing moments. Sometimes the symptoms do overlap and signs from weakness can also be a sign of tightness like leaking with jumping or lifting. But if we look deeper into other symptoms we can start to identify which camp you may fall into.. Because doing more kegels isn’t always the answer. While symptoms can tell us a lot about our body, seeing an internal pelvic floor PT will be the best option to get a true statement of the condition of your pelvic floor.
