HSS perinatal training program puts doctor, patient on marathon track

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Dr. Ashley Austin trained for her first NYC Marathon after recently completing HSS's perinatal exercise program.

She used HSS resources for postpartum strength training, pelvic floor, and return-to-run programs to ensure she races safely, while experiencing the same journey she's guided many patients through.

Dr. Austin also has a patient who she helped recover from an injury who is also trained for the marathon for the first time.
