๐๐ฝ Are you ready to return to running after having a baby?

๐จ This is what the evidence has to say:
โ You are 12+ weeks post partum
โ Good pelvic floor strength
โ No vaginal heaviness/pressure/drag/bulge
โ No urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence / leaking with cough/sneeze
โ No pelvic pain
โ Can walk 30 mins with no issues
โ Single leg balance 10 sec each leg
โ Single leg squat x10 reps each leg
โ Jog on the spot for 1 min
โ Forward bounds 10 reps
โ Hop on the spot 10 reps each leg
โ Running man drill 10 reps each leg
โ Good core/pressure management (minimal DRAM)
To pass testing, you need to be able to complete each of the exercises with no symptoms of:

โ Urinary urgency
๐ก 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.
