Has IC or pelvic pain prevented you from exercising? If so, you are certainly not alone. Exercises which jar, traumatize or put pressure on the pelvic floor and bladder, such as: running, stair master and/or sitting on a bicycle, can trigger IC flares. On the other hand, exercises which protect the pelvis and keep the hips level are ideal for IC patients. Swimming, walking, fast walking, yoga, pilates, elliptical and rowing are ideal for those of us with a tender bladder and pelvis.
