Doctors frequently warn women to slow down and rest during prengancy. But years of scientific research—and the personal experiences of Olympic runner Shannon Rowbury and pelvic health expert Jessica Dorrington— show that pregnant women's bodies are capable of so much more. Strong as a Mother provides evidence-based, empowering information that challenges outdated notions of pregnancy as a time of limitation. By combining Olympic-level athletic experience with specialised medical knowledge, this book offers a unique, authoritative perspective that will revolutionise how women approach fitness during pregnancy and postpartum.
As a runner, SHANNON ROWBURY is a 3-time Olympian, 2-time World bronze medalist, world champion, and world record holder. A lifelong advocate for women’s sports, she has worked with Nike and USA Track & Field to update maternity policies to make Track & Field more equitable. JESSICA DORRINGTON is a board-certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist through the American Physical Therapy Association, and the director of Bethany Physical Therapy in Portland, Oregon.
