🚨 This is what the evidence has to say:
✅ You are 12+ weeks post partum
✅ Good pelvic floor strength
✅ No vaginal heaviness/pressure/drag/bulge
✅ No urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence / leaking with cough/sneeze
✅ No pelvic pain
✅ Can walk 30 mins with no issues
✅ Single leg balance 10 sec each leg
✅ Single leg squat x10 reps each leg
✅ Jog on the spot for 1 min
✅ Forward bounds 10 reps
✅ Hop on the spot 10 reps each leg
✅ Running man drill 10 reps each leg
✅ Good core/pressure management (minimal DRAM)
To pass testing, you need to be able to complete each of the exercises with no symptoms of:

💡 It is important to be cleared by your medical team and physiotherapist when retuning to running. This will health reduce the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction.
