10 Minute Tip #25: Barbell Training & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in ALL Genders - YES! Men Too!

Pelvic floor dysfunction is extremely common in all genders but it is most definitely not normal! You should not ignore or allow pelvic floor symptoms to continue but you also don't have to stop barbell training. 

 

In this episode of the PRS Podcast, PRS Clinical Coach and pelvic health expert, Dr. Breanne Maruca, PT, PRSCC, CLT, WCS brings awareness to all the common abdominal and pelvic floor dysfunctions that men and women experience both inside and outside of barbell training. 

 

She describes the following dysfunctions, what they mean, and how you might experience them:

• Hernias

• Diastasis Recti

• Pelvic Pain

• Urinary Incontinence

• Fecal Incontinence

• Prolapse

• Erectile Dysfunction

• Low Back & Hip Pain related to the pelvic floor

 

This episode brings awareness to these dysfunctions and helps you identify if you should see a pelvic health specialist for help. Remember, these are common pelvic health dysfunctions but certainly not normal. They should not be ignored and they should be addressed while modifying your program, technique, and equipment to continue to barbell train while addressing them.
