Why Do Bowel & Bladder Issues Happen?

Bowel and bladder symptoms aren’t just about a weak pelvic floor. They often relate to:

  • How your pelvic floor muscles coordinate, not just their strength
  • Breathing patterns and core pressure management
  • Pregnancy, birth, surgery, or hormonal changes
  • Chronic tension or overactivity in the pelvic floor
  • Posture, movement habits, and nervous system stress

At Uplift, we look at all of these factors, not just the symptom you came in with.
