73. Motherhood Is an Extreme Sport: Why Moms’ Bodies Hurt

Motherhood asks a lot from your body.   Think about what your body does in a typical day as a mom: lifting kids, carrying awkward loads, bending down to pick up toys, standing while cooking, sitting at a desk, driving to activities, and helping with bedtime routines.   It’s constant physical work.   And yet most moms are never taught how to support their bodies through these demands.   In this episode, ergonomic coach and physical therapist Amanda Rabin explains why motherhood can feel physically exhausting and why so many moms experience back pain, neck pain, and shoulder tension throughout the day.   You’ll learn why these aches and pains often happen not because your body is weak, but because it’s being asked to do more than it has the support or endurance for.   Amanda also shares the three-step framework she uses with working moms to reduce pain and help their bodies better handle the physical demands of daily life.   In this episode you’ll learn: • Why motherhood can feel like an extreme sport for your body • The hidden physical load moms carry every day • Why many moms experience back pain, neck pain, and shoulder tension • Simple ergonomic strategies that can make everyday tasks easier   Because motherhood is already demanding enough. Your body deserves support too.
