Osteoporosis Exercises and Pelvic Floor Problems

If you have been diagnosed with decreased bone density you may also have been advised that resistance exercises for osteoporosis can help to improve your bone density. This presents a great challenge for women who also have pelvic floor dysfunction. This is because lifting heavy weights and using the wrong technique can cause pelvic floor problems such as prolapse or incontinence. Resistance exercises can be potentially harmful for women who have had pelvic surgery in the past such as bladder surgery, prolapse surgery or hysterectomy surgery. For this reason try to ensure that resistance exercises that you undertake are pelvic floor safe, and use the correct technique for bone strength exercises to protect your pelvic floor and improve your bone health, especially if you also have pelvic floor problems.
