Nashville Physical Therapy & Performance

Pelvic Floor Therapy for Endurance Athletes - why its needed! We push ourselves to the limit...running marathons, competing in triathlons, obstacle racing, competitive swimming, miles of cycling. While most athletes focus on strengthening their abs, back, and hips, one often-overlooked component of core stability is the pelvic floor. Pelvic floor strengthening is not only needed for quick burst but is essential for endurance activities. Pelvic floor dysfunction is more common than you realize! And it can significantly impact performance.
