Pelvic Floor Health for Runners
Pelvic floor health may seem like a bit of a taboo topic, but if you’re always looking for the next port-a-john on your runs, then listen up!
In this Find Your Edge podcast, Chris Newport sits down with physical therapist Mbong Henry from Radiance PT. She enjoys working with postpartum runners, but enjoys helping anyone with pelvic floor challenges, including stress incontinence, accidental leakage, lower back pain and more.
We discuss:
- Why you shouldn’t wait to have your pelvic floor health issues addressed
- What percentage of women who have NOT had babies have pelvic floor issues
- Whey kegels are not always the answer to solving pelvic floor issues for runners
- How stress in certain muscles can affect your pelvic floor
- What hormones are in your pelvic floor and why that matters for pre/postpartum women and menopausal female runners
- How grace and self-compassion can help you do what you love (like running, jumping, and more!)
