83. How Lumbar Support Fixes Your Entire Driving Posture (And Reduces Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain)

Do you struggle with back pain, neck pain, or shoulder tension after driving? The solution may not be stretching your neck or forcing your shoulders back. It may start with your pelvis. In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, I explain how proper lumbar support can improve your entire driving posture through a simple chain reaction. When your pelvis is positioned well and your natural lumbar curve is supported, it’s easier for your spine, shoulders, and head to stay aligned—without constantly thinking about your posture. You’ll learn how to use a lumbar roll, rolled towel, or even a pool noodle to support your low back, where to place it for the greatest benefit, and how adjusting your seat height can reduce strain on your back, neck, and shoulders. If you’re a working mom spending time commuting, driving kids to activities, or running errands, these simple ergonomic adjustments can help you feel better during and after your drive. Because sometimes the smallest tweaks create the biggest relief.   If You Loved This Episode, Binge These Next 🤍 Episode 46: Car Ergonomics Made Simple: The SEAT Check for Moms on the Go Episode 70: School-Age Mom Neck Pain: The Real Reason Driving Your Kids Everywhere is Wrecking Your Neck Episode 26: No More Car Contortions: Roadtrip Ergonomics Every Mom Needs Episode 45: From Painful Drives to Comfortable Commutes: Carolyn’s Success Story Episode 34: Sitting Pretty (and Pain-Free): Simple Tips for Less Back Pain       🤍 Work With Me Book a free 20-minute discovery call to figure out your next best step. 👉 Book your call here   Check out the website: 👉 amandarabincoach.co   Follow me on Instagram for daily ergonomic tips and mom-life hacks: 👉 @dr.amanda_ergocoach 🤍 Join the free Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms Facebook community for more practical tips and support. 👉 Join here Don’t forget — you can also download my free ebook for even more quick, practical tips to reduce pain while mothering: 👉Download the ebook here Before you shop: some links are affiliate links.
