Description

The body doesn’t just simply “bounce back” after a pregnancy.  The physiological impacts can last for months or even years.

Many of your female patients have the goal to return to running and Julia Mitchell, PT is here to share her go-to, practical postpartum and external pelvic health strategies that help you address these issues with confidence!  You’ll learn an evidence-based approach to:

  • Determine when to return to running
  • Exercise progressions that increase strength, stability and mobility
  • Techniques that aid in quickly mitigating poor running mechanics

This seminar is a unique blend of both external pelvic health and orthopedic perspectives that will give you strategies you can use immediately in clinic.  And here’s the kicker - these strategies can be used by women at ANY stage postpartum, whether they had a baby 6 weeks ago, 6 months ago, 6 years ago.
