Before you jump right back into running after getting “cleared” at 6 weeks, there’s a few things we should check ⬇️
Before you lace up:
✅ You should be able to walk 30 min pain-free
✅ No leaking, heaviness, or pelvic pressure
✅ You’ve rebuilt single-leg strength and control
✅ You can perform plyometric drills (think: hops, skips, calf raises) without symptoms
Most women are cleared around 6 weeks postpartum — but that’s just the starting line, not the green light for running.
A pelvic floor-trained PT can test your strength, symmetry, and impact tolerance to make sure your return is safe and strong 💪
🩺 At Athletic Edge PT, we guide athletes from rehab ➡️ performance ➡️ full return to sport.
DM “RUN” to schedule your postpartum assessment.
