I sat down for a chat with Marika Hart of Herasphere about all things pelvic floor, running, sports specificity, and more!
Here are some of the gems we covered in this interview (from the Herashere.com blog):
why some postural changes in pregnancy are NORMAL and when it becomes problematic.
how posture affects breathing and the pelvic floor
Julie’s special “ski-jump” trick and how it can be used to get access the pelvic floor
why breathing is important…(beyond the obvious!)
what breathing has to do with constipation
why running patterns can have an affect on the pelvic floor and what you can do to change yours if you are leaking
why doing dead bugs (the exercise!) may not be sports specific enough for you as an athlete and why we need to think more about exercise prescription
signs from your body that it isn’t coping well with the exercises you are doing (when to seek help)

Stop by Herasphere for the rest of her post on our chat and get to know Marika!
