Today, I speak with Dr. Linda McLean, a professor in the School of Rehabilitation Sciences and Chair in Women's Health Research at the University of Ottawa in Canada. Her research program focuses on understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with pelvic floor disorders in women, and on the development of improved intervention approaches. Linda and her team have been studying the underlying cause of urine leakage in runners, and their recent findings may lead to improved strategies for prevention and management so that women can continue to remain active and perform optimally.
We talk about:
-breaking down the barrier to exercise
-urinary incontinence
-exploring pelvic floor morphology
-running’s effect on morphology
-interventions for exercise incontinence
-strategies while running
-evidence based versus evidence informed
-using pessaries

The Active Mom Postpartum Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to Postpartum for active moms & the postpartum professionals who help them in their journey.
This show has been a long time in the making!
You can expect conversation with moms and postpartum professionals from all aspects of the industry.
If you're like me, you don't have a lot of free time (heck, you're probably listening at 1.5x speed), so theses interviews will be quick hits to get your the pertinent information FAST!
If you love what you hear, share the podcast with a friend and leave us a 5 start rating and review. It helps us become more visible in the search algorithm! (Helps us get seen by more moms that need to hear these stories!!!!)
