Take Control of Your Bladder with Pilates

20/2/2022

It's something we don't like to talk about, but occasional bladder leakage (especially in women post childbirth) is incredibly common. But just because something is common, it doesn't mean it's normal or something that can't be addressed. There are many simple treatments available, but one of the simplest is regular targeted exercise focused on rebuilding strength in the muscles responsible for continence. Here at Articulate its' no secret that we love Pilates. This blog looks at what Pilates  is and how it can be used as a therapeutic intervention for urinary incontinence. The Pilates method of exercise comprises a series of interconnected components that focus on physical awareness or mind body connection, control, strength and endurance.  The evidence shows Pilates to be beneficial in a variety of populations, including those with urinary incontinence.
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. Urinary incontinence can happen to anyone of any age, gender, race or income however, it is more common in women. Urinary incontinence may be associated with certain conditions such as a history of childbirth or pregnancy, and has a variety of other contributing lifestyle factors (for example, age, BMI, intake of carbonated drinks or coffee).
​
Stress urinary incontinence is the most common kind of urinary incontinence. Stress urinary incontinence is when you leak urine when doing physical activity, coughing or sneezing. Stress urinary incontinence can be improved and managed through lifestyle changes and pelvic floor muscle exercises, which are often incorporated into Pilates.

One of Pilates biggest benefits is its ability to improve a person's mind-body connection - helping with day to day life as well as with long term injuries and chronic pain conditions Pilates exercises promote deep breathing, which in turn helps the Pilates student gain a greater sense of their body and where all of their muscles are and how to activate them appropriately.

In Pilates classes you learn about yourself and your body from the inside out. You learn to listen to your body and use Pilates exercises to strengthen, lengthen and support it while learning how to correctly release tension from muscles.

Pilates is a great way to keep fit, improve your posture and coordination. It is also a good way of getting back into exercise if you haven't exercised in a while, have been injured, or have recently given birth (at least 6 weeks postpartum is recommended before commencing Pilates) .

Pilates can help women with urinary incontinence focus on their pelvic floor muscles by doing Pilates exercises designed for this condition. Pilates instructors may cue specific times to engage or relax the pelvic floor during specific movements and breaths as appropriate.

Pilates is a low-impact exercise that helps to improve muscle tone, strength and flexibility while being gentle on the pelvic floor. Pilates is an exercise routine that uses slow, smooth and flowing movements performed on a mat, with the use of specialised equipment, such as reformers.

If you suffer from urinary incontinence please know that you aren't alone, and there are many health professionals here to help! Book an appointment with one of our friendly physiotherapists here at Articulate Physiotherapy Tarragindi to better understand your pelvic floor and its relationship to stress urinary incontinence We'll show you where it is, what it does, and how to activate and strengthen it with Pilates (we have Pilates Reformer classes running 7 days a week)!  Not sure if Pilates is right for you? Give one of our friendly Tarragindi Phyisio & Pilates team a call on 07 3706 3407 or email us at info@articulatephysiotherapy.com.au

I suffered from what they called peripheral artery disease (PAD). I have been suffering for years, Me and my wife searched for a medical cure, and then we came across a testimony of a man who suffered the same and was cured by Dr Chief Lucky. So my wife and I contacted Dr Chief Lucky via an email and thank God he replied. I explained what was wrong and he sent me herbal medicines that helped heal me completely. I am happy to say that herbal medicine is the ultimate and Dr Chief Lucky I am grateful. You can contact him on his email: chiefdrlucky@gmail.com or whatsapp: +2348132777335, Facebook page: http://facebook.com/chiefdrlucky or website: https://chiefdrlucky.com/.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
