Ready for Tennis Nationals 🎾

🤣 Love this. Echoed by my husband “just go for a run”.

Do you get ‘rangry’ if you haven’t had a run for a while?
I know I do 🫣
Like or share if you do too 👍

See you at the finish line for your post race flush or injury advice. It’s going to be hot ☀️ so keep hydrated, have fun and good luck 🏃‍♀️

Proud to do Pioneer Women’s Walk this morning with my mother in law. Lovely scenery. Amazing history behind it. 5hrs fast walking. Still think it’s more time efficient to do a marathon 🤣

Nice day at the office. Australian junior champs finals start 💪🎾

Recently, Foster et al. (JWHPT, 2021) took a look at hip strength in women with and without urinary urgency and frequency. Urgency and frequency are often part of a symptom cluster associated with an over-recruited pelvic floor, a common pattern with my athletic females (along with painful s*x, constipation, and tight sore low back and hips). So I was really excited to read this article, and now to share it with all you!

In short they found that women with self-reported urinary urgency and frequency had significantly weaker hip external rotators and abductors than their case matched controls. In addition, NO significant differences in pelvic floor strength and endurance were detected between those with and without symptoms. These results are consistent with other studies that have shown hip musculature weakness in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), in conjunction with no difference in the strength of the pelvic floors between those with or without SUI.

The authors discussion made some great suggestions to help explain their findings that warmed my heart, as someone who has been looking outside the pelvis for solutions for a long time! In particular, they noted that studies similar to this one examine ONLY force production of the pelvic floor, while in clinical practice and interventional studies other variables are addressed and taken into account when treating pelvic health.

AMEN! It is exciting to have more and more support for looking at other variables in pelvic health considerations. As evidence grows to show the interrelationship and interdependence of the hip and pelvic musculature, it is reasonable to consider the absence of HIP strength, endurance, power, motor control, etc. asks more of the pelvic floor to pull off pelvic-hip movement patterns. This could lead to the over-recruitment patterns we see in women with urgency and frequency (and the other components of that symptom cluster noted above).

When we go beyond looking only at the pelvic floor as both the source and solution for all thing pelvic health, a new world of integrated treatment options opens up for all us! (see what I did there?)
