READY TO RUN?
Were you once a runner and took some time off?
Have you always had a goal to become a runner?
Did you just have a baby and are eager to return to running?
How do you know when you are ready to start a running program again or for the first time?
Can you perform...
-
30-minute brisk walk
-
20 single-leg sit to stands
-
20 single-leg bridge
-
20 single-leg calf raises
-
20 side-lying leg lifts
But wait...
If you answer YES to any of the following questions...
-
Do you leak urine when walking, jumping, coughing, or sneezing?
-
Do you have a sensation of heaviness or dropping in the pelvic/vagina region?
-
Are you unable to control gas or bowel movements?
-
Do you see doming coming from your abdomen when you move or exercise?
-
Do you have low back or pelvic pain with physical activity?
Consider seeing a pelvic physical therapist for a formal assessment before you start running.
