Bladder Pain represents a broad set of annoying and uncomfortable symptoms affecting your pelvic floor and lower abdomen. Maybe it’s pressure on your bladder after you pee, feeling as though you have a UTI without actually having an infection, or feeling as though you need to urinate all day long only to release a very minimal amount of fluid.
Bladder Pain is not something to glaze over, keep personal, or be treated with a glass of wine. Check out six moves to help with your overactive bladder.
- Supine Twist: Lay on your back dropping your bent legs over to one side, maintaining a straight spine and shoulders flat to the ground. Gaze goes to the opposite direction of your knees.
