If you don’t have any pelvic floor issues, can you start running?
The level of stress that your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles experience during a high-impact exercise is way more than when you stand or carry your baby. It’s great that you’re not feeling any pelvic floor pain issues, but, that doesn’t mean that your pelvic floor is ready to support you as you restart your 5k run.
A proper check-in of your pelvic floor can save you many troubles in the future, including possible gynecological surgeries.
If you enjoy high-impact sports and activities like basketball, running, or Crossfit and you’re living with:
Lower back and/or hip pain
Pelvic pain
Heaviness or pressure at or near your vagina or perineal area during or after physical activity
Bladder leakage with jumping, running, and sneezing (peeing a little)
Abdominal bulging with core exercises
