Weightlifting Incontinence Treatment - Lift With Confidence — Without Leaks
Leaking During Lifting, Training, or the Gym?
If you’re experiencing leakage during:
-
Squats
-
Deadlifts
-
Running or jumping
-
Core exercises
You’re not alone — and it’s more common than people realise.
This is often linked to Stress Urinary Incontinence, where pressure during lifting exceeds the support of your pelvic floor.
At Active Therapy Clinic, we specialise in helping active individuals return to training with confidence using targeted pelvic health physiotherapy and our advanced Pelvic Health Chair.
Why Does Leakage Happen During Weightlifting?
Weightlifting creates high intra-abdominal pressure.
If your pelvic floor isn’t:
-
Strong enough
-
Coordinated with your core
-
Activating at the right time
…it can lead to leakage during effort.
Common Signs You Might Have Pelvic Floor Weakness
You may notice:
-
Leaking during heavy lifts or impact
-
Reduced confidence in training
-
Avoiding certain exercises
-
Feeling of pressure or instability
This doesn’t mean you have to stop training — it means you need targeted support.

Why Weightlifting Incontinence Doesn’t Fix Itself
Many people try:
-
Avoiding heavy lifts
-
Doing occasional pelvic floor exercises
-
Ignoring symptoms
But without:
-
Proper technique
-
Progressive strengthening
-
Integration into lifting mechanics
…the issue usually persists.
What Actually Works?
The most effective approach combines:
✔ Pelvic Floor Strengthening
Building strength and endurance.
✔ Core & Breathing Coordination
Learning how to brace correctly during lifts.
✔ Movement Retraining
Adapting lifting technique where needed.
✔ Progressive Return to Load
Gradually increasing intensity safely.
The Game-Changer: Pelvic Health Chair
At Active Therapy Clinic, we use our Pelvic Health Chair to accelerate your recovery.
What is the Pelvic Health Chair?
A non-invasive, high-intensity stimulation device that activates and strengthens the pelvic floor muscles while you sit comfortably, fully clothed.
Why It Works for Lifters
-
Activates deep pelvic floor muscles effectively
-
Builds strength and endurance quickly
-
Improves neuromuscular control
-
Helps bridge the gap between rehab and performance
Ideal If You:
-
Struggle to feel or engage your pelvic floor
-
Haven’t improved with exercises alone
-
Want faster, more structured progress
-
Are returning to heavier lifting
Lift Without Limits Again
Leaking during training is common — but it’s not normal.
With the right approach, you can:
-
Eliminate or reduce leakage
-
Train with confidence
-
Return to heavy lifting safely
