How to Relieve Postpartum Back Pain
Everyone wants to stretch for back pain- but stretching won’t address the root of the problem.
And in some cases, stretching can make your problem worse.
The solution then?
Address your posture, breathing, core, glute and hamstring strength and movement mechanics.
While that may seem like a long checklist, I think you’ll find that these 5 elements are deeply interconnected.
➡️ As you improve your posture, you will improve your breathing mechanics.
➡️ As you improve your breathing mechanics, you will improve your core strength.
➡️ The glutes and hamstrings affect alignment and core strength.
➡️ As you get stronger, your movement mechanics will improve AND as you improve your movement mechanics, your core, glutes and hamstrings will get stronger.
You will see that there is some redundancy as you move through the “checklist”. Master one item and then move on to the next. You don’t have to master everything at once to start feeling some immediate relief.
