Leaking on the Trampoline? Here's How Houston Pelvic Floor Therapy Can Help

💦 "Wait… Was That Sweat or Did I Just Leak?!"

If you’ve ever been jumping on a trampoline (or jump roping) and suddenly paused, wide-eyed, wondering if that drip was sweat or something else — you’re not alone. I’ve been there. Recently, during my own strength training routine, I added jump rope between sets. By round four, I had that moment. And then…I left the gym.

Sound familiar?
First reaction: Panic.
Second reaction: Denial.
Third (and best) reaction: Get help.

That’s where pelvic floor physical therapy comes in.
And if you’re in Houston, we’ve got your back — and your bladder.

🧠 Why Does Leaking Happen When You Jump?

Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bladder, uterus, and bowel — and it functions just like a trampoline.

Let me explain:

  • 🎯 Strong & Balanced Pelvic Floor = kids jump on the trampoline and bounce back up. All is well.

  • 🧵 Weak Pelvic Floor = trampoline stretches and sags. The bounce is lost. That’s stress incontinence.

  • 🪢 Overtight Pelvic Floor = trampoline can’t move. There’s tension and no give. Still no bounce.

  • 🔀 Asymmetrical or Misaligned Floor = the bounce is off, and you might leak or feel off-balance.

💡 What Does Pelvic Floor Therapy Actually Do?

At our Houston-based clinic, pelvic floor therapy helps identify and correct the specific issue behind your leaking. Here’s how we approach it:

Strength Assessment

  • Can you contract your pelvic floor properly (like a kegel)?

  • Does your pelvic floor move like a trampoline?

🕒 Timing Assessment

  • Are you contracting at the right time (i.e., before impact)?

  • Can you still breathe and stay relaxed while doing it?

🏃 Endurance Testing

  • Can your pelvic floor keep up through a 30–60 second jump rope session?

  • Many women leak only after their muscles start to fatigue.

🧍 Form & Technique Optimization

  • We look at your head, rib cage, and spine position while jumping.

  • Small tweaks often lead to huge improvements.

💬 “Sometimes you don’t need a new trampoline — just better technique!”

📋 What You’ll Get After Your Evaluation

  • A comprehensive, personalized home program

  • Practical strategies you can apply immediately

  • Regular accountability and support from your therapist

🎯 Who Is This For?

✅ Moms post-baby
✅ Women who’ve noticed leaking with jumping, sneezing, or laughing
✅ Athletes who’ve changed their workouts to avoid leakage
✅ Anyone who’s tired of “just dealing with it”
