11. Jessica Harrison Physiotherapy

Jessie is a new (again) member of TRC, and also a MSK physiotherapist specialising in womens health, mainly around postnatal/menopause, and her passion is getting women back into fitness/running following childbirth.

Jessie is hoping to be able to offer a return to running ‘C25K’ run for postnatal women, who would also be seeing her to focus on strengthening pelvic floor, imbalances and dealing with symptoms like incontinence. In order for these women truly be able to get either back to running or into running it is important to focus on personalised programmes throughout her Mummy MOT assessments, which she does privately.

Please take a look at her website (www.jessicaharrisonphysiotherapy.com) and the attached leaflet for more details, and please do get in touch with Jessie for more information.

In order for these women truly be able to get either back to running or into running it is important to focus on personalised programmes throughout her Mummy MOT assessments, which she does privately.
