As a physiotherapist, especially having the honour to work with many women with pelvic health concerns, I have come to learn the true “why”.

Women want to be active, to exercise regularly, and to lift weights for far more (and better) reasons than just weight loss. In fact, we know that we are more likely to adhere to exercise if the motivation and rewards are intrinsic in nature.

So why do you exercise? What would you add to the list?

Being “cleared” to exercise at 6 weeks postpartum and being ready to run are two very different things.

In clinic, I rarely look at a calendar first.
I look at capacity.

✔️ Can your pelvic floor tolerate load?
✔️ Can your hips and core manage single-leg impact?
✔️ Is your sleep, stress, and nutrition supporting recovery?
✔️ Do you have a graded plan or are you just hoping for the best?

Return to Running postpartum guidance isn’t about fear. It’s about respecting tissue healing, progressive overload, and physiological stress.

When we layer these factors properly, return to running becomes smoother, stronger, and far less frustrating.

I wrote a full blog post breaking down the best ways we can help people return to running postpartum.
You can read it at the link in my bio.

If you’re postpartum and hoping to run again, comment “RUN” and I’ll send you the link directly.
Or share this with someone navigating this season.

Injury prevention isn’t some magical formula. It’s basic strategies that help you work smarter and not harder.

Sleep, gradual progress, preparation, and listening to your body all matter more than pushing through pain.

If you want guidance with physical activity or help addressing aches and pains early, physiotherapy can support your injury-prevention journey.

Concussion information has changed over the years as more insights have emerged from the ongoing research.

Some of the biggest changes over the years is recognizing signs of a concussion, removing from play (“when in doubt, sit out”) and following a stepwise protocol prior to returning back to play. Each step in this equation is to help decrease the risk of a delay in recovery or severe outcomes such as a second impact syndrome.

Physiotherapists can play an important role in helping athletes recover safely through assessments, targeted exercise, symptom monitoring, and collaboration with the healthcare team.

🧠 Know the signs.
💪 Get the right support.
✅ Return to sport confidently.
