Returning to Running Postpartum: What You Need to Know | Pelvic Floor Physios

Ready to return to running after having a baby, but not sure where to start? In this week’s episode of TMI Tuesdays, pelvic health physiotherapists Lauren Sutherland and Diane Rizzardo talk all things postpartum running, from rebuilding strength and managing pelvic floor symptoms to knowing when your body is ready to increase distance and intensity. We break down what a gradual return to running can actually look like, common concerns like leaking, pelvic heaviness, pain and core weakness, and why getting back to running postpartum is about more than simply waiting a certain number of weeks. 🏃‍♀️ JOIN OUR FALL 2026 LIVE RETURN-TO-RUNNING COHORTS Our ReNew Running programs are designed by pelvic health physiotherapists to help you progressively rebuild your strength, running capacity and confidence after having a baby.
