Ep.46 ‘Guidelines for Returning to Running Post Pregnancy’
In Ep.46 of Runchatlive Podcast, Matt is joined by leading Women’s Health Physiotherapists Emma Brockwell and Grainne Donnelly, who discuss “Guidelines for Returning to Running Post Pregnancy”. In 2019, Emma & Grainne published along with co-author Tom Goom the first comprehensive guide on the hugely important topic of postnatal running, in an attempt to help fill what was up to that point a clear lack of information available for both clinicians and runners.
In this episode, Emma & Grainne discuss subjects including:
- Risk factors and contraindications to returning to running
- Signs & symptoms of pelvic floor and/or abdominal wall dysfunction
- Assessment of strength, impact management and readiness to run
- Key considerations such as breastfeeding, sleep and psychosocial factors
