Here’s how bad posture can affect mums:
1. Neck, Shoulder & Back Pain
Constant slouching or hunching (especially while feeding or holding a child) puts extra pressure on the spine and surrounding muscles, leading to tension, stiffness, and headaches.
2. Reduced Milk Flow & Shallow Breathing
Rounded shoulders can restrict the chest and diaphragm, affecting breathing and even reducing circulation - which may influence milk flow and energy levels.
3. Pelvic & Core Weakness
Poor posture affects how the pelvis sits, which can lengthen the healing time.
4. Fatigue & Low Energy
When your spine isn’t aligned, your muscles work overtime just to keep you upright. The result? You feel tired, achy, and drained - even without doing much.
5. Mood & Confidence
Body posture affects how you feel too. Slouching can contribute to feelings of stress or low confidence, while upright posture supports mental clarity and emotional balance.
✅ The good news: chiropractic adjustments and posture awareness can make a huge difference in helping mums feel stronger, lighter, and more energized again.
