À propos de cet audio

In this episode of the Femme FC Podcast, Nicole speaks with Copa, physical therapist for the Houston Dash, about the real-world process of returning elite footballers to performance after pregnancy. Copa shares how she developed a postpartum RTP framework after managing three pro-player cases back-to-back, and what clinicians can do, especially in resource-limited women's sport settings, to support postpartum athletes safely and confidently.

Topics include:

  • Early postpartum priorities and tissue healing considerations

  • Pelvic floor cueing and progression into impact, sprinting, and sport demands

  • Structuring return to run + strength training, and why recovery drives decisions

  • Progressing workload week to week (when to repeat, when to push)

  • Readiness for team training, contact exposure, and match minutes using key metrics

  • The overlooked essentials: fueling demands (including breastfeeding), fatigue, and long-term monitoring
