If you've been told that leaking when you sneeze, jump, or run is just part of having kids or getting older, this episode is going to challenge that. Leaking is not inevitable and it is not a bladder problem. It is a signal that something in your body's pressure system has broken down. And in most cases the answer has nothing to do with kegels and everything to do with how your whole body is moving together. In this episode Dr. Arneka breaks down the three things she looks at first when a patient comes in dealing with leaking and why fixing these three things changes everything.

She covers why your rib cage, pelvis, and breath have to work together before your pelvic floor can function properly, why tight hips are one of the most overlooked contributors to leaking, and why single leg strength and glute control are the missing piece most women never address. Whether you've been dealing with leaking since your first pregnancy or it showed up with high intensity training, this episode gives you something specific to assess and work on today.
