Why do some women leak during jumping or running — while others don’t? And is there a one-size-fits-all fix? (Spoiler: Nope.)
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Carrie Pagliano, a leading pelvic floor physical therapist helping postpartum and perimenopausal women move confidently without leaks, pain, or prolapse. We dig into the real reasons behind urinary leakage during high-impact activities (like jump rope) — and why it’s not always as simple as "just do your Kegels."
We cover:✅ Why leakage happens for some women but not others✅ The role of hormones, genetics, breath mechanics, and timing✅ What you can try right now — from breathing to body awareness✅ Practical cues and movement modifications for plyometrics✅ How to know it’s time to see a pelvic floor specialist
Dr. Carrie breaks it all down with zero shame and a whole lot of empowerment. If you or your clients have ever skipped the jump rope because of leaks — this one’s for you.
