This is going to sound strange.
But stay with me.
Most bladder leaks do not start in your bladder.
They start in your shoulders.
When the muscles in your chest get tight, they pull your shoulders forward.
That changes your posture.
That changes your breathing.
And when your breathing mechanics change, your pelvic floor cannot function the way it was designed to.
Everything is connected.
Your diaphragm at the top.
Your abs around the middle.
Your pelvic floor at the bottom.
When your chest is tight and you breathe shallow, that whole system falls out of sync.
That is when leaks show up.
Laughing.
Sneezing.
Coughing.
And most women are told to squeeze harder.
More kegels.
But tightening a system that is already out of balance often makes it worse.
The real solution is releasing the tension that is throwing everything off.
There is a simple upper body stretch that takes about 17 seconds and helps restore proper breathing and pelvic floor coordination.
No equipment.
No 100 rep routines.
Just one specific movement done correctly.
You can see how this 17-second stretch works here.
Move Well. Look Well. Live Well.
