34% of professional dancers in their 20s experience urinary leakage
Nearly 40% report pain with intercourse

These are not postpartum patients
These are elite, highly trained athletes

On Bendy Bodies, I’m joined by pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Brooke Winder to break down what these numbers actually reveal

Because pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t just about age or childbirth
It’s about load, mechanics, and hypermobility

High-demand movement + joint laxity can increase strain on the pelvic floor
leading to both overactivity and under-support

Which is why these symptoms are far more common—and more complex—than most people realize
