What can I expect?

We are talking all about running, particularly in the postpartum period. Some discussion topics include:
  • The latest research and best practices to help those with underactive pelvic floors who may be experiencing leaking and prolapse.
  • What can pelvic health professionals and fitness professionals do to optimize a running program?
  • How can the runners best communicate with their physicians and other healthcare professionals about running?
  • Levator ani tears and running... (I’m sneaking this question in ).
  • Can vaginal weights help? What about pessaries?
Feel comfortable navigating psychosocial nuances while learning practical skills to do so.

I am an enthusiastic doctor of physical therapy with over a decade of clinical and educational experience. I am certified in the area of pelvic floor physical therapy with an overall passion for education. I have been practicing physical therapy since 2008, and have had the pleasure of practicing in a variety of clinical settings including a research hospital Gait Laboratory where I conducted motion analysis and participated in research on gait and chest expansion. My doctoral research titled “A Postural Perturbation Study on Children with Down Syndrome” was presented as a platform at the American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) in 2009, and I had the opportunity to teach clinical skills to medical staff and physical therapists in Nicaragua in 2008. 
I have taken extensive coursework in treatment of the pelvic floor and nutrition resulting in CAPP-PF certification by the APTA, and PRPC by the Herman and Wallace Institute. I am also certified as a Stott Pilates instructor and an RRCA Certified Running coach. I am the author of the book Restoring the Pelvic Floor For Women on pelvic floor dysfunction.  
Additionally I have written five peer reviewed continuing education courses to date for physical therapists.
My two day continuing education course for healthcare professionals, Pelvic Floor Implications for the Running Athlete is offered all over the world. Online, you can find my pelvic health courses available through Intimate Rose Pelvic Health Institute
I am the president and Chief Clinical Officer of the women's health company Intimate Rose where I create solutions to women's health issues for women around the world.
