Pelvic Floor Therapy is for MORE THAN just Mother Runners with Dr Victoria Clement

What actually is your pelvic floor… and why does it matter so much for runners? In this episode, I’m joined by pelvic floor physical therapist and birth doula Dr. Victoria Clement to break down one of the most misunderstood (and often ignored) systems in the female body. We cover: What the pelvic floor is (in plain English) Why it’s essential for running performance, not just postpartum recovery Signs your pelvic floor might need support (even if you’ve never had a baby) How breathing mechanics directly impact pelvic floor function Why strength training is one of the most underrated tools for pelvic health How to use your body’s biomechanics to support pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just trying to run without leaking, heaviness, or discomfort… this episode will change how you think about your body.  You can find Dr. Victoria on Instagram @restorethefloor.doc or contact the clinic directly at [email protected] and 267-209-0930 This is a repeat episode that originally aired April 29, 2024.
