MUMS ON THE RUN
Returning to running is a significant milestone post partum. Forces of up to 2 times your body weight can be transmitted to the pelvic floor when we run which is why it It is associated with a 4 times increased risk of pelvic floor dysfunction compared to low impact activities. We need to prepare our core system for higher impact activities rather than jumping into them to quickly which can predispose you to symptoms such as leaking, pelvic heaviness or pain.
Join Jo in this unique Cardiff course of strength, pilates, progressive impact exercises and running technique advice, to safely and effectively prepare your core system for impact.
Regardless of whether you had you baby 8 weeks ago or 8 years ago, this course will make you feel stronger and more connected with your core than ever before
