Why this matters:
The standard advice — "wait until your 6-week clearance, then ease back in" — leaves most moms guessing. Guessing whether that pressure they feel is normal. Guessing if that leaking will go away. Guessing if their body is actually ready, or if they're setting themselves up for injury.
The truth is, the 6-week appointment was never designed to assess running readiness. It's a general check-in — not a green light for high-impact activity. As a physical therapist specializing in postpartum care and return to run, I help moms take the guesswork out of it and come back stronger, smarter, and with confidence in their bodies.
What you'll learn:
✔
✔
How to assess your own run readiness — including the signs your body gives you that it's not quite there yet
Core and pelvic floor reconnection specific to the demands of running (not just generic "core work")
✔
A progressive run/walk plan built around your body — not a one-size-fits-all app
✔
What symptoms are red flags vs. normal adaptation — and when to push vs. pull back
✔
How to prevent the most common postpartum running injuries before they sideline you
