🎉 We have published research in The International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy (IJSPT).
Historically, there is not a lot of research on female athletes. The research for pregnancy and postpartum exercise is often shortsighted, to say the least. This “population” of pregnant and postpartum athletes is still considered new.
We đź‘Ź are đź‘Ź changing đź‘Ź that.
The work we are doing in *real life* is getting reflected in the research, which is a critical step forward, and only the beginning of bringing this to more journals, and stages and continually changing the messaging/info that exists in the medical, practitioner, and fitness industries.
