Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards

Dr. Kate Mihevc Edwards is a physical therapist, author & educator helping to widen the lens on treating and caring for endurance athletes. Kate co-authored the book "Go Ahead, Stop and Pee -Running During Pregnancy and Postpartum" in 2019. This book helps dispel common myths about running during pregnancy and provides key exercises to work on, helping women understand how to care for their postpartum body.

Endurance athletes and those who care for them often believe that the definition of success depends on physical performance of their bodies and how well they do at a race. Through 12+ years of successfully treating thousands of frustrated athletes while navigating her own injuries and health struggles, she knows and believes that an athlete's success is so much more than their body or their sport. She also knows that connecting with the whole athlete requires the tools, knowledge, clarity, and confidence to grasp the complexities and depth of what these people need to perform and be well within and outside of their sports.
