We why we need to treat pregnancy and delivery like the endurance sport it is and discuss why every woman needs a rehab and recovery program.

Topics covered in this podcast:

• The injuries we call pregnancy and delivery
• Why every woman who goes through a pregnancy and delivery should go through a rehab/recovery program.
• The significance of the pelvic floor and core
• Injuries that occur during a healthy pregnancy and delivery
• Physical and emotional injury of problematic pregnancy and different delivery types
• And more...
