In this BJSM Podcast Dr Brooke Patterson hosts Dr Shefali Christopher and Dr Rita Deering. If you are a clinician who sees women runners this podcast is for you. Get up to date with the latest clinical and research recommendations for return to running post-partum. Dr Christopher led a recent consensus which combined expert opinion of a large range of clinical and exercise professionals with the current evidence. This is part 1 of a 2-part podcast, where we will focus on the consensus recommendations. In part 2 we will discuss developing a return to run program in more detail.
