Post Natal – Return to Running Assessment

This is an assessment of the factors that contribute to a safe guided return to impact training. This includes

• Analysis of posture, strength, core control, diastasis and a pelvic floor examination.
• Advice on a safe, graded return to loading and impact whilst considering recovery and rehab of the pelvic floor and surrounding musculature.

There are many changes which occur in the body during pregnancy, childbirth and in the post natal period. These may include ligament laxity and reduced pelvic floor control along with weak core muscles as your abdominal muscles have accommodated your bump in the ante natal months.

These all will improve with time, but you can benefit from advice and sport specific exercises to return to impact exercise.

If you are keen to get back to your running and any other impact sport then this assessment is for you. Our pelvic health physio will assess your posture, strength and core control and your pelvic floor to give you tailored advice for a safe and graduated return to your favourite sport.
