If you’ve been told to "just do Kegels" to fix your bladder leaks, pelvic pain, or prolapse, but it hasn’t helped—or worse, made things feel tighter and more uncomfortable—you’re not alone.
Many people with Generalized Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) also experience POTS, a condition that affects blood flow, heart rate, and the nervous system.
If you’ve been told you have prolapse, experience feelings of heaviness or pressure in your pelvis, or struggle with bladder and bowel dysfunction, hypermobility could be a contributing factor. But here’s the good news—you are not powerless.
Women with EDS and pelvic floor dysfunction can absolutely benefit from strength training, but the key is smart programming, mindful movement, and gradual progression.
