Determining readiness for postpartum running is very individualized, but most people are ready to start around 12 weeks, with return to run strength training starting around 6 weeks. The period from weeks 6-12 will involve a structured exercise program to prepare your body for running, including:
* Strength training
* Plyometric training (impact work)
* Endurance training
* Single leg exercises

Before starting running, your pelvic physiotherapist will take you through a screening test to ensure you are ready! Components of this screen include:
* Pelvic floor strength and endurance testing
* Load/ impact management testing
* Lower body strength testing
Once you pass this screen, your physiotherapist will help design a gradual return to run program specifically targeted for you.

As always- ensure you consult with your physician or physiotherapist before starting a new exercise program.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw bone to your skull. This joint is important for moving your jaw, chewing, and speaking. Issues with the joint, disc inside the joint, or the surrounding muscles can cause significant pain. 😬

Symptoms of TMJ dysfunction include pain, clicking or popping, locking, headaches, and muscle spasms. TMJ issues are often multifactorial but can be caused by trauma, stress and grinding, prolonged postures and eating.

A physiotherapy assessment can help you determine the root cause of your jaw pain and dysfunction and teach you strategies for alleviating this pain. Stay tuned to learn how! 😁

However, many people experience long lasting side effects, including impacts to sexual function, pelvic organ prolapse, sudden menopause, bladder or bowel dysfunction, lymphedema, and chemotherapy induced neuropathy.

The good news is that pelvic physiotherapy can help! At Cornerstone Physiotherapy, our pelvic physiotherapists have the knowledge and skills to assess and treat cervical cancer survivors experiencing ongoing symptoms. Visit the link in our bio to learn more 💚

🧠 January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month 🧠
Early diagnosis is important - and prevention starts decades earlier.

Did you know your brain health is closely linked to your metabolic health?

Over time, insulin resistance doesn’t just affect the body - it can also impact the brain. Metabolic syndrome significantly increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

🚩 Key metabolic risk factors include:
• Obesity
• High blood pressure
• Impaired glucose control (high insulin or blood sugar)

🧬 Genetics also play a role. About 15% of people carry the APOE-ε4 gene, which increases Alzheimer’s risk by 2–3x. This gene affects how the brain processes fuel, leading to earlier mitochondrial dysfunction.

Improving your metabolic health - through movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress management - is one of the most powerful ways to protect your brain.

Rowing is an excellent whole body workout- it’s estimated that the stroke uses 85% of the muscles in the body! Rowing provides cardiovascular and muscular endurance benefits for the glutes, quads, lats and lower back muscles. However, good rowing form is very important for a sustainable, injury free workout.

Watch as Physiotherapist Jack demonstrates the row - and visit the link in our bio for more tips for optimizing rowing form.

As always, it is important to consult with your physiotherapist or physician before starting a new exercise routine.
