Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Kayla Borchers breaks down how to safely return to running postpartum, with a strong focus on pelvic floor health, gradual progression, and long-term injury prevention. She explains why symptoms like urinary leakage shouldn't be ignored and offers practical guidance on rebuilding strength, stability, and confidence before hitting the pavement again. Whether you're a new mom or supporting one, this conversation provides a clear, evidence-based approach to reintroducing impact training while protecting your body and optimizing recovery.

Takeaways:

  • A gradual, structured return to running is essential after postpartum recovery.
