Perimenopause and Pelvic Floor Health for Runners


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re joined by pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Colleen Drahos for a conversation about pelvic floor health during perimenopause. Originally recorded on August 6 and livestreamed on the Sassquad Trail Running Facebook page and YouTube channel, this webinar dives into the unique challenges that runners may face during this season of life.


Dr. Drahos unpacks common issues such as urgency, frequency, leakage, and UTI's, all of which can impact performance and quality of life on and off the trails.


We discuss how hormonal shifts during perimenopause affect pelvic floor function, and Dr. Drahos shares practical strategies to stay strong and confident. Whether you're currently experiencing perimenopause or preparing for it, this conversation provides valuable insight and actionable advice for navigating these changes with strength and resilience.
