Training With Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: How to Build a Safe, Effective Plan

Описание: Hi everyone, I’m Leigh Merotto and I’m a Registered Dietitian specializing in IBS, Gut Health & Fitness. I help active women break free from gut symptoms and fuel performance with a whole-body, science-based approach.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated, limited, or even afraid to move because of pelvic floor symptoms like leaking, urgency or pelvic pain, you’re not alone. These symptoms are common especially in those dealing with gastrointestinal issues like IBS, IBD and endometriosis.

In today’s conversation, we explore:
✔️ What the pelvic floor is and how dysfunction can show up alongside digestive symptoms like bloating, constipation, urgency, and diarrhea
✔️ How to know if your pelvic floor is tight vs. weak
✔️ The role of nervous system regulation in gut and pelvic floor function
✔️ How exercise — when done right — can help reduce pain, support digestion, and improve overall pelvic health
✔️ And a fun segment where we rate tools like like standing desks, biofeedback devices, squatty potties, and more
