Shownotes

Kelsey Karnes from MoveSmart physical therapy is back to discuss the prevalence of pelvic floor dysfunction, specifically as it relates to runners. While it's primarily a women's health issue, it can affect men too.

Kelsey emphasizes that while these issues are common, they're not normal. She talks about symptoms to watch for as well as treatment and prevention. Read Kelsey's blog posts on this topic at movesmartky.com.

Plus, Matt announces the opening of John's Run/Walk Shop's new store in the Hamburg area!

Kentucky Running is produced by John's Run/Walk Shop in Lexington, Kentucky, and sponsored by Currex insoles.
