Have you been dealing with nagging neck, back, or hip pain since having your baby? You’re definitely not alone and it’s not something you just have to “push through.”

In our latest blog post, Pelvic Physiotherapist Sophie Mason dives into how repetitive movements (like lifting your baby or bending over a change table), poor posture while feeding, and improper lifting techniques can all contribute to postural pain and pelvic floor dysfunction during the postpartum period.

She also shares practical tips to help break the pain cycle like how to adjust your feeding setup, improve lifting mechanics, and reconnect with your deep core and pelvic floor.

Whether you're weeks or months postpartum, your body deserves support and care. Don’t let discomfort define this chapter of motherhood healing is possible. 💛
