Who is this programme for?

  • Would you like to return to running after pregnancy, abdominal or pelvic surgery?
  • Do you lack confidence to run because you are not sure your body is conditioned enough to cope?
  • Would you like to do a specific rehabilitation programme to prepare you for high impact sport (eg netball/football etc) after pregnancy and childbirth?
  • Would you like to feel confident that your body is ready for the repetitive impact your joints and pelvic floor face during running?
  • Would you like the support of a Physiotherapist and Women's Health Specialist in helping you prepare your post natal/post surgical body to run?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this programme is for you!

Before you start the programme you will be deeply screened. This is to ensure there are no ongoing health issues that need to be dealt with before commencing your return to running schedule. If there are any concerns you will have a free telephone consultation with a Chartered Physiotherapist to discuss your individual case.

The course is designed to be completed along with a couch to 5km programme. Depending on your baseline results you can start this at the same time as the course or after the course is complete (when you have met the strength targets).

Please note, if you suffer from any form of stress incontinence, symptomatic prolapse or unexplained bleeding, you will not be accepted onto this course. Please see your GP/local women's health Physiotherapist.

​

  • Educational videos on pelvic floor and core recovery in relation to running
