Summary

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common postpartum complaints I see in practice: low back and pelvic pain. We talk about why this pain shows up after having a baby, from changes during pregnancy to the demands of postpartum life, and how things like muscle imbalances, posture, and core and pelvic floor dysfunction all play a role. I also walk you through simple, practical ways to start feeling better, including how to support your body with better movement, foundational strength work, and when it’s time to seek extra help. If you’ve been dealing with lingering aches or feel like something just isn’t quite right, this episode will help you understand what’s going on and what to do next.
