Summary
In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common postpartum complaints I see in moms: neck and upper back pain. From feeding and holding your baby to hours spent rocking, scrolling, and sitting, it’s no surprise this area gets overworked and irritated. I walk you through why this pain shows up, what’s actually going on in your body, and simple, practical ways to start feeling better. I talk about posture, mobility, and small adjustments you can make throughout your day so you’re not just pushing through the discomfort, but actually fixing it.
