درباره این اپیزود
Earlier return to running.
Later return.
Symptom-free standards.
Mental health.
The guidelines for postnatal women keep shifting - and so does the debate.
In this episode, Dr. Rachel Selman helps us ask smarter questions.
What are signs to look out for to ensure that physiological healing and mental health are respected?
Are women's requests still dismissed?
Is the push for earlier postpartum return to impact truly empowering women?
Dr Rachel Selman is a physiotherapist, strength and conditioning specialist, and published clinical voice in perinatal return-to-sport.
In this episode, Rachel and Marianne discuss the concept of mismatch - what happens when the demand placed on a postpartum body doesn't match where her tissues actually are in recovery.
They dig into the research and clinical expertise together, highlighting the need for excellence in both so new mothers are better served.
They also discuss what it truly means to advocate for yourself when the system doesn't yet do it reliably for you.
And the question everyone wants answered: how do you actually know when your pelvic floor is ready to run?
Rachel gives us the clinical signs - not a date on a calendar, but a set of real, simple markers.
