RUNNING AFTER PREGNANCY

Running After Pregnancy?

Running after having a baby can come with a variety of challenges for women.  Working with a pelvic floor physiotherapist with knowledge and experience helping runners can help you prevent injuries and incontinence and progressively get back to the activity that you love.

 

Our physiotherapist will meet you where you are at and develop a plan that may involve some treatment, exercise guidance, a referral to Clinical Pilates and/or pessary fitting to help get your running safely.

 

Dikla Barer and Allison Evers both have a special interest in helping get Vancouver mom’s running.  Please have a look at their bios below and book an initial consultation to get started.

Dikla (Dee) Barer - MScPT, BHK (ExSc), IMS

Dikla’s treatment philosophy of client empowerment through education, body awareness, and
customized rehabilitation exercise has led her to her interest in pelvic health. Drawing on over a decade of experience in an orthopaedic clinical setting, she brings a client centred, whole-body, hands-on therapy approach. This approach draws from her depth of knowledge in anatomy and physiology and her breadth and depth of experience in private practice.

 

Dikla has been a practicing physiotherapist in Vancouver for over 10 years. She holds a Masters degree in Physical Therapy from Queen’s University (2008), a Bachelor of Human Kinetics (Exercise Science) from UBC (2005), and is a Certified Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation practitioner (CGIMS). She has additional training in male and female pelvic floor dysfunction including incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, painful intercourse, perinatal low back and pelvic pain, and abdominal separation, as well as certifications in advanced orthopaedic manual therapy and manipulation therapy.

 

Dikla lives in Vancouver with her husband and two daughters. Outside of work, you can find them on various adventures throughout the lower mainland.

Allison Evers - MScPT, BSc

Allison completed her education at the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Biology and Master in Physical Therapy (MPT). Allison holds her Level 1 Orthopedic Manual Therapy certification and has advanced training in the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, including urinary and bowel control, and pelvic organ prolapse.

Allison recognizes that clients may feel self-conscious discussing the nature of their visit. She brings a sensitivity to her practice, where she promotes a respectful environment that is responsive to her clients’ individual preferences, needs, and values.

One of Allison’s goals as a physiotherapist is to empower clients by giving them the education and tools needed to manage their condition independently overtime with confidence and success!

A proud Vancouverite, when Allison isn’t at work, she enjoys running, camping, and team sports. She also enjoys time spent with her family and friends.
