003 | Pelvic Floor Health: Surgery, IBD & Returning To Running | Leah Bryans | @leahbryansphysio

Returning to exercise after stoma surgery or living with IBD isn’t straightforward and most people aren’t given a clear roadmap.In this episode, I’m joined by pelvic floor physiotherapist Leah Bryans to break down how the body actually recovers after surgery, what the pelvic floor does, and how to safely rebuild strength and confidence.We talk about recovery timelines, bladder and pelvic floor issues, returning to running, and the importance of doing things gradually and correctly.This is a practical, honest conversation for anyone trying to get back to movement after surgery or struggling to trust their body again.If you’re enjoying The Runs Club Podcast, make sure to follow and share the show with someone who might need it.Join the strava group: https://strava.app.link/HEyjIQjkz2bIG - @the.runs.clubLeah: https://leahbryansphysiotherapy.comIG - @leahbryansphysio
