On this episode of the podcast, pelvic health physical therapist Liesle Elsey joins us to discuss the relationship between running mechanics, injury, and pelvic floor dysfunction. We cover how improper running form can lead to issues like urinary incontinence and low back pain, especially in female runners. Liesle explains how she uses 3D motion analysis to evaluate runners and identify form deficiencies from the ground up. We discuss the importance of improving mechanics while also addressing the underlying pelvic floor dysfunction. Liesle provides insight into common movement pattern issues she sees and how to categorize runners to determine appropriate treatment plans.
