Leaking When You Sneeze, Jump, or Run? Let’s Talk About What’s Really Going On
Leaking isn’t normal.
It’s common, yes. But it’s not something you just have to live with.
And no, the answer isn’t “just do kegels.”
Leaking during sneezing, jumping, running, or lifting usually comes down to pressure management, not weakness alone.
Your pelvic floor is part of a system. It works with your breath, deep core, posture, and nervous system. When pressure increases and the system can’t manage it, leakage happens.
That’s why doing random pelvic floor exercises without understanding how they connect to the rest of your body often leads to frustration.
In many cases, the pelvic floor is already working too hard. It’s tight, reactive, and overwhelmed. Adding more contractions without addressing breath, alignment, and deep core coordination can make symptoms worse.
What helps instead:
Learning how to exhale and brace properly
Reducing downward pressure during movement
Building strength gradually and intentionally
Training your core and pelvic floor together
Leaking is information. It’s your body asking for support, not punishment.
