In this episode, Dr. Fisher explores how your pelvic floor impacts your running, including hip and groin injuries, bladder control while running, and even the runner’s trots. We have received many questions about these topics and felt it best to bring on an expert about running and your pelvic floor. 

Discussion points are:

  • What is your pelvic floor and why does it matter for running?

  • What are symptoms of a dysfunctional pelvic floor?
  • Are kegel exercises appropriate for all runners?
  • What to expect when you visit a pelvic floor PT
  • Do yoga or Pilates help your pelvic floor?
  • How to strengthen your pelvic floor for running after childbirth?
  • How to manage if you pee yourself while running
