Pelvic floor dysfunction affects over 32% of females in their lifetime. Among young active females aged 14–24, up to 15% experience bladder leaks, particularly during physical activity. Research from Dublin City University revealed that more than half of women playing Ladies Gaelic Football and Camogie experience clinically significant pelvic floor dysfunction, a condition that impacts quality of life, athletic performance, and psychological well-being, yet remains largely unaddressed.
The good news is that pelvic floor issues are highly treatable, easily improved, and often completely cured. Knowledge is power.

It’s time to empower young athletes from adolescence to early adulthood with the knowledge they need to stay confident, active and performing at their best.
