In today's solo episode, I dive deep into the topic of running during pregnancy. Drawing from 25+ years of experience as a physical therapist and addressing listener questions, I aim to provide evidence-based information, clarify common misconceptions, and help you make confident decisions about staying active while pregnant. With so many challenges to navigate during pregnancy, let's make your choices around running a bit easier.
Key topics covered include:
