Life Tips for Moms — Protecting Your Back & Pelvic Floor

Daily tasks like lifting kids, laundry, and groceries add up.

Good mechanics protect your spine and pelvic floor, poor ones put extra stress where you don’t want it.

1. Brace before lifting — gentle core activation stabilizes the spine and reduces pelvic floor pressure.
2. Hold weight close — decreases spinal shear and makes lifting more efficient.
3. Step to turn — twisting under load strains your back.
4. Bend with your legs — squatting or lunging spares the low back.
5. Switch sides often — carrying unevenly can cause hip and back imbalances.

Small, consistent habits = fewer aches now, better movement for years to come.

Foam Rolling vs Stretching

Foam rolling applies pressure to muscles and fascia, improving blood flow and reducing neural tension. It can:
• Reduce muscle soreness after workouts
• Increase range of motion (for up to 10 min)
• Improve mobility when paired with activation drills

Static stretching can:
• Improve long-term flexibility
• Temporarily reduce power if done right before explosive activity

Best practice:
• Before a workout → Foam roll tight areas, then activate the muscles you’ll use
• After a workout → Static stretch to improve flexibility

Example:
Foam roll hip flexors → glute bridges
Foam roll chest → band pull-aparts

When used together, they deliver better results than either alone.
