5 Critical Errors Women Make During CrossFit<\/h1>\nCrossFit is a worldwide phenomenon. The CrossFit Games Open had nearly 300,000 entries for the first workout. There are over 11,000 affiliates around the world. CrossFit is here to stay and it is a GOOD thing.\n\nBut just like every other exercise program or sport in the world, sometimes CrossFit isn\u2019t suitable for everyone\u2026or is it? Part of the beauty of CrossFit is that it is \u201cinfinitely scalable.” That means you can change the exercise or modify it so you are working out at a relatively high intensity – a high intensity for YOU.\n\nBut despite the best wishes and efforts of the coaches and athletes, injuries happen. Some are simply unavoidable and unexpected, but others, in my opinion, can have their risk reduced significantly. For this blog post, I want to highlight 5 critical errors I believe women make during CrossFit that significantly increase their risks of injury.\n\nWomen are simply different anatomically to men. Because women have a vagina, there is an extra passage from which pressure can \u201cleak\u201d from compared to a man. Not only that, the vagina doesn\u2019t have a \u201csphincter\u201d like the urethra and the anus does (where you urinate and defacate from). These simple facts put women at higher risk to pelvic structures due to increased pressure without the proper support.\n\nHere are what I consider to be 5 critical errors women make when CrossFitting (or similar kinds of high-load activities):\n
    \n \t
  1. Not using training strategies that take female anatomy into consideration<\/strong><\/li>\n \t
  2. Not listening to their body\u2019s signals<\/strong><\/li>\n \t
  3. Not using the right technique for their body<\/strong><\/li>\n \t
  4. Not considering a pessary<\/strong><\/li>\n \t
  5. Not getting an internal assessment by a Women\u2019s Health Physical Therapist<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Not Using Training Strategies That Take Female Anatomy Into Consideration<\/h2>\nIn a male-dominated world, much of what gets \u201cdecided\u201d is basically whatever is good for the guys and the \u201cgirls\u201d have to just follow. The same occurs in the fitness world.\n\nHowever, strategies men use can be sub-optimal for women. In particular, I want to highlight the way men use intraabdominal pressure to support their trunk.\n\nRemember how I highlighted the vagina and that it doesn\u2019t have a sphincter to close the passage and this leaves it vulnerable to pressure? A common technique men use is to take a breath in, lock everything down and hold their breath to stabilize their trunk. This is a well-known strategy that is effective typically.\n\nThe problem with this strategy is that the pressure will seek the easiest way to leak out if things are not perfectly locked down. Do you get heartburn when you lift heavy? That would be the pressure leaking up through your throat. Does your belly button become a soft bulge or your groin hurt? That could be a hernia. Some people aggravate their back pain – that is the pressure pushing out the back and irritating something that triggers the memory of pain you have had. Or, you might soil your pants or leak some urine. That would be your pelvic floor unable to meet the demands of the task.\n\nBut even worse than that is the use of weightlifting belts. Made of leather or synthetic materials, they support your abdomen and back and allow you to generate MORE pressure which will usually let you lift more. Here’s the issue: The belt will decrease your risk of developing a hernia and maybe even make your back feel a bit safer but all that pressure has to go somewhere. You have a sphincter for your esophagus, one for your urethra, one for your anus and vocal chords for your throat\u2026that means the one passage that can leak pressure is now under MORE pressure!\n\nThe result of putting excessive pressure onto your pelvic organs is that you can develop pelvic organ prolapse. This is where your bladder, your uterus or rectum can actually stretch the walls of the vagina and bulge into it. The consequences of developing a pelvic organ prolapse can range from no symptoms or issues (in mild cases) to being quite serious and beyond the scope of this blog post.\n

    2. Not Listening To Your Body\u2019s Signals<\/h2>\nControlling pressure is a problem for female athletes who CrossFit. Adding to that problem is the fact that the normal menstrual cycle of women means that the tissues in a woman\u2019s body can undergo changes which make them more flexible at certain times during their menstrual cycle.\n\nThis tissue flexibility can seem like weakness – you simply can\u2019t lift the weight you could last week. But it is the fact that the tissue is stretching more. If you put extra pressure onto these tissues, you can \u201coverstretch\u201d them and contribute to problems such as pelvic organ prolapse. Therefore, it is important that every woman who has a menstrual cycle listen to her body\u2019s signals. Pay attention to how you are feeling and how your numbers are going at different times of your period. Some women will feel a funny stretch or heaviness in the vagina or they feel like they might leak urine when they normally wouldn\u2019t.\n

    3. Not Using The Right Technique For Your Body<\/h2>\nSimilar to the first point, women often use techniques developed by men for men and then get distressed when they don\u2019t fit a certain pattern. A classic example is the hip in the squat.\n\nThe angles that your legs form during a squat depends on many factors. The angle of the acetabulum, the angle of the femoral neck, and the rotation of the femoral head with relation to the femur all play a significant role in how you will squat. Add to that the \u201cQ Angle\u201d (the angle your femur forms with your tibia) and the flexibility (or lack thereof) of the ankle and you suddenly have many variables to consider when choosing how to train someone who is looking for the \u201cright technique\u201d.\n\nSometimes it isn\u2019t just the anatomical differences that affect the body. The way you hold your breath can cause \u201cbearing down\u201d on the pelvic floor or it can spread the load (#spreadtheload) around the body. Learning the routine I teach on how to #spreadtheload will help get women back to lifting. In theory, it is safer for a woman to lift while still breathing but the reality is that you simply can\u2019t lift as much that way, so learning how to mitigate this risk is important. You need to find good health and fitness professionals to help you.\n

    4. Not Considering Using A Pessary<\/h2>\nBasically, if you use techniques that aren\u2019t friendly for vaginas (increased downward pressure without the right intrinsic muscle\/fascia\/ligament support), you will run the risk of worsening pelvic organ prolapse or developing it. You have to listen to your body to ensure you don\u2019t overload it during heavy lifting and impact exercise as well as find someone to coach the right technique for YOU during the workout.\n\nOne way to help a woman with symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse is to offer her a pessary. A pessary is a device that sits inside the vagina and supports the pelvic organs and the walls of the vagina. This is a great way to help reduce the risks of injury but it isn\u2019t failproof as accidents still can happen. What are we to do? Live a life of \u201csafety\u201d and not taking any risks at all?\n\nNO!\u00a0That is not the human way.\n\nI strongly recommend women wear a pessary if they are doing CrossFit (and have risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse)<\/a>, especially after having babies and the tissues are stretched out and the hormones and breastfeeding are keeping you extra-flexible! This is something that can be further discussed with your GYN, Urogynecologist, or Pelvic Physical Therapist (Women’s Physio).\n\nPessaries are fitted by some OBGYNs, Urogynecologists, or Pelvic Physical Therapists in some countries (Australia is one of them).<\/em>\n

    5. Not Getting An Internal Assessment By A Women\u2019s Health Physical Therapist (Pelvic PT).<\/h2>\nThis last point is my most important point.\n\nA good Pelvic Health Physical Therapist (Physiotherapist) \/ Women\u2019s Health Physical Therapist (WHPT)<\/a> will be able to advise you about A LOT of things that are going on \u201cdown under\u201d. They can see if you have any pelvic organ prolapse, they can see why your bladder doesn\u2019t quite work right. They can help with any pelvic pain you might be experiencing.\n\nIn Australia, we have WHPTs that are expert fitters of Pessaries and there are more modern thinking WHPTs who don\u2019t mind CrossFit and how it can be beneficial with the right environment, the right patient and the right coaches.\n\nAn internal examination done by a WHPT is DIFFERENT to the one performed by your OBGYN at 6 weeks after your baby was born. The WHPT will look for different things during their examination and hopefully test how your pelvic floor contraction is and how you hold your breath and brace for loading. (Pelvic Global sidenote – we will share more in the near future about what an evaluation with a pelvic physical therapist entails)<\/em>\n\nA visit to a good WHPT is worth the money. The very good ones will give me a report about what they have found and I can then help patients with programming and scaling their exercises to suit.\n\nConclusion:\n\nI have listed these 5 critical errors because I believe they put female CrossFit athletes at the greatest risk of injuring themselves.\n\nTry to find a good coach that will take the time to understand how female athletes differ to male athletes.\n\nPlease, please, please understand that females have slightly different anatomy that makes them vulnerable to problems like pelvic organ prolapse. You want to sort those problems out ASAP and an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure!\n\nThe best way to determine your own individual risks is to find a good WHPT who you can work with and have them advise you on the best pessary for you to help protect you during lifting (please note that there are reasons why you may not be able to use a pessary).\n\nIf you try to avoid these critical errors, I believe you will significantly increase your longevity in the sport of CrossFit as well in the lifestyle that CrossFit brings.\n\nPelvic Global side note – As some of you know, I’ve written about my\u00a0concerns about the infamous “CrossFit and pee” video before<\/a>. It’s still one of the top viewed blog posts. My mission was to make sure the correct information made it out to the public vs. condemning CrossFit as a whole. Leaking during high-intensity exercises is actually quite common (particularly after childbirth and years later). Women don’t have to simply accept it –\u00a0\u00a0there’s help<\/a>! \u00a0You can find pelvic health specialists (including pelvic health physical therapists) with the PelvicGuru.Com Directory<\/a>. Instead of suggesting that one is not a “real athlete” unless they leak, we emphatically believe that there are ways women can train to improve these symptoms. \u00a0Thank you! ~ Tracy<\/em>\n
