Is incontinence only something women face after childbirth? Absolutely not. In this episode, Claire Sparrow dives into the truth about continence, busting the myth that only mums experience leakage. You’ll discover why balance, breathing, and whole-body movement matter just as much as pelvic floor strength, and why any woman—at any stage of life—can be affected.

Claire shares the two main types of incontinence, why your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation, and how everyday habits (like crossing your legs or holding your tummy in) can quietly create imbalances. Most importantly, she leaves you with hopeful, practical steps you can take today to support your pelvic health.

It’s time to stop accepting incontinence as “normal” and start seeing it as something you can change.Incontinence isn’t just a post-childbirth issue. Any woman, at any age, can experience it.

Two main types matter: Stress incontinence (leakage with pressure like coughing, laughing, or running) and Urge incontinence (sudden, desperate need to go).

Your pelvic floor is part of a team. It works with hips, glutes, spine, breath, and posture—so balance is key.

Movement creates strength. Stiffness, scar tissue, or injury reduce coordination between brain and pelvic floor, increasing risk of leakage.

Hopeful truth: Incontinence isn’t inevitable. Small, whole-body changes—like better breathing and more pelvic mobility—can make a real difference.
