Can I do sit-ups?

Yes, you can do sit-ups again, but timing and technique are key. Before returning to sit-ups, it’s important to first rebuild your foundational core strength. Once you’ve built up to the point where sit-ups are safe, you need to make sure you’re not putting extra pressure on your pelvic floor and core while performing them.

Poor form and technique during sit-ups can potentially worsen pelvic floor symptoms. Consulting with a pelvic floor physical therapist will help ensure your form is correct and safe.
