Pelvic Health for Female Runners: Episode 61 with Jessica W. Dorrington
Description
Hello & Welcome to 2025!
The New Year is here - and this is often when we see many runners back on the road again - with or without their pelvic rehab issues!
In this conversation we discuss all things running & women's health including:
- the overlap between ortho/musculoskeletal and pelvic health for female runners, whether we're talking about elite level or weekend warriors
- how we can avoid pelvic health problems becoming a problem or even a barrier to running
- recognising REDs throughout the lifespan
- the issues facing pregnant & postnatal runners - setting a good foundation over the 9 months of pregnancy and markers for return to running
- managing expectations about return to running after any injury - the physical, the pelvic and the emotional needs
- masters athletes - how can we help them avoid pitfalls like tendinopathies or stress fractures
- and much more!!
Jessica brings so much expertise as a runner herself, as well as her vast clinical experience in sports medicine and pelvic health. You can find Jessica on Facebook and instagram as @Jessica.w.dorrington
