Returning to Running Postpartum with a Prolapse
Manage episode 480836849 series 2847235
A prolapse doesn't necessarily mean running is off the table. There are many women who return to all sorts of sports with a prolapse!
And the right plan can definitely help.
This episode dives into what it really means to return to running after a prolapse diagnosis. Whether you're newly postpartum or months down the track, understanding your body's readiness is key to avoiding setbacks and regaining confidence in movement.
Here’s what’s covered in this episode:
- What pelvic organ prolapse is and why it may impact running
- Why the 12-week wait before running is about more than just time
- Functional benchmarks to assess if your body’s ready
- How prolapse symptoms (like heaviness or bulging) affect exercise
- What to know about pessaries and pelvic floor assessments
- The role of strength, stability, and gradual progression
- Red flags to watch for and when to seek professional support
- Why every woman’s recovery timeline is different—and that’s okay
