BABY STEPS: Pelvic Floor, Running & the Reality of Leaking & More - a podcast by Mags Creative + Amy Lane

In the second episode of our mini-series, we’re talking about the power of the pelvic floor. It’s thought that up to 30% of UK women are affected by pelvic floor problems with some experts calling it a silent epidemic. And it’s not just a mother’s or mum-to-be’s problem, although, pregnancy does bring its own set of strains and this life change is normally what puts pelvic health on a runner’s radar. To talk about why runners of all ages and life stages should be training their pelvic floor as much as any other muscle on their workout plan I’ve recruited Elizabeth Davies (fitness coach), Amal Hassan (medical registrar specialising in Sport & Exercise Medicine) and Helen Keeble (pelvic health physiotherapist) who are the founders of Umi Health (umi-health.com) to discuss our pelvic health and what we can do to about it. If you'd like to know more about pelvic floor health here's how to get in touch with the Umi Health team on Instagram: @umihealth @helenkeeblephysio @themummycoach.co.uk @sportexercise_dr_amal
