Returning to running after childbirth can be a challenging journey, and this week we address a common struggle: lower back and groin pain. We'll be discussing an email from a new mom eager to get back to running, but experiencing persistent deep aches in her lower back and sharp groin pain, especially during stride increases and hill work. We'll dive into safe and effective return-to-running strategies tailored for postpartum runners, focusing on exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor and core. We'll also discuss how to differentiate between normal postpartum discomfort and potential injuries like pelvic floor dysfunction and diastasis recti. If you're a postpartum runner facing similar challenges, this episode offers practical advice and expert insights to help you get back to running safely and confidently.
