Rebounding and Your Pelvic Floor: Helpful or Harmful?

Your pelvic floor needs load. Fascia and soft tissue thrive on load—it stimulates collagen and elastin production, keeping your tissues strong, responsive, and well-hydrated.

Rebounding (aka bouncing on a trampoline) delivers dynamic, elastic load through the whole body—hips, spine, core, feet—and, when done well, can actually support pelvic floor resilience.

In fact, studies show that trampolining offers greater biomechanical stimulus than running, especially when it comes to gravitational loading. So yes—it’s effective.

But effective isn’t the same as appropriate—especially if your system isn’t ready.

Why Voice Projection Can Overload Your Pelvic Floor

Do’s and Don’ts for Voice & Pelvic Floor Health

✅ DO:

  • Practice exhaling while speaking rather than holding your breath and pushing.

  • Use diaphragmatic breath before and after long speaking or singing sessions to reset pressure.

  • Check your posture: Tall spine, soft knees, relaxed jaw. Alignment helps the canister function.

  • Incorporate voice and breath coordination drills (see below).

  • Use voice resonance (vibration in the chest or face) instead of pure force.

❌ DON’T:

  • Yell or speak forcefully while breath-holding.

  • Tuck your pelvis or lock your knees while speaking.

  • Push your belly out on inhale or clench your abs on exhale.

  • Ignore signs like pelvic heaviness or leaking—those are cues your system needs support.
