The Female Athlete SIG and Running SIG are co hosting a great webinar this month 👨‍💻🧑‍💻👩🏿‍💻. Please join us with guest speaker Amanda Olson, DPT, PRPC. Running after childbirth🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️, specifically how or when to return, is a hot topic in the field of physical therapy and on social media. During pregnancy and following childbirth, the body undergoes changes that may impact strength🏋🏾‍♀️, neuromuscular control, endurance, and the ability to withstand the high-impact forces and repetitive nature of running. Many mothers experience new or worsened symptoms of musculoskeletal or pelvic floor dysfunction 🩼following pregnancy and childbirth and require physical therapy to normalize function. Pelvic and sports physical therapists must understand biomechanical features of running gait and safely progress strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control of the kinetic chain when guiding a runner back to running. This discussion will go over existing guidelines and includes a 4-phase rehabilitation framework to help runners initiate and progress running after childbirth.
