BIRTHFIT Podcast Episode 279: Your Earned Range of Motion

"Your earned range of motion" is a cue you've probably heard from me a hundred times — today I'm breaking down what it actually means, and why it's not the same thing as flexibility. In this episode: Why flexibility alone gets you into a position but won't get you out of it with control The nervous system's role in range of motion, and why some ranges never feel "earned" no matter how much you stretch Why fear-based caution — keeping everyone in a tiny, restricted range — doesn't protect capability, it just delays building it A simple three-step process for actually earning range: find your edge, train at it, progress it slowly Why pregnancy and postpartum are seasons to keep building this, not seasons to pause it Grab our free PDF, Interventions List: What You Need to Know Before Labor Day.
