Abdominal Soreness with Postpartum Running
A fantastic reader question being answered in this post!
A mama recently returned to postpartum running. She is experiencing abdominal soreness in the days after her runs. Is this normal? Is this a sign of core and pelvic floor dysfunction? What can she do differently!
My thoughts in the video below!
[ANNOUNCEMENT!]
My 10-week, online course called, the Postnatal Fitness Specialist Academy, is currently open for registration until Tuesday, April 23rd.
This program is for current and aspiring fitness and health professionals (and enthusiasts) who want to help moms return to effective exercise post-pregnancy, recover from C-section and vaginal births, treat core and pelvic floor dysfunction, and support them in motherhood.
I give this running mom a few things to consider during her runs and what she might do before and after running.
If you are a personal trainer, fitness instructor, or health professional that works, or wants to work with moms, you are working with postnatal populations.
Upgrade your coaching skills and strategies by becoming a Certified Postnatal Fitness Specialist in my 10-week online course that will educate you on diastasis recti, the pelvic floor, postpartum mental health, body image, strength training, exercise programming and more!
Registration is open now through Tuesday, April 23rd. The program will again close for at least 6 months.
![My fitness coaching was leading moms to feel like trash about their bodies. 🫣
As if they needed that when inundated with messages to “get their bodies back” and programs to fit back in their pre-pregnancy jeans.
‼️ AND AND AND. As if I could continue to contribute to them keeping their mental energy on their size of their stomachs (when so many people in the world are living within oppression and true horrors).
Not to mention…
👉🏻👉🏻 The more hyper vigilant my clients felt about their bodies, the more their pelvic floor symptoms RAMPED UP.
A pillar of our Prenatal and Postnatal Fitness Specialist Academies - our fitness and pelvic health coaching certifications - is supporting perinatal folks from a size inclusive, non-diet perspective.
🗣There are ZERO discussions and no guidance on how to help your clients get smaller bodies.
You can coach in this way, too. But, you’ll need to commit to it.
