If your low back feels clunky, unstable, or tight—but stretching never seems to help—you’re not alone.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down spinal instability: what it actually means, what it doesn’t mean, and why it does not mean you’re fragile or broken.

Spinal instability simply means the structures supporting your spine aren’t providing the level of stability your body needs during movement. This can be related to how you’re built, hypermobility, pregnancy and postpartum changes, or natural wear and tear over time.

We also talk about why the right progression and loading—not just random exercises—make all the difference, especially for busy moms lifting kids, managing homes, and moving through long days.

If you’re feeling unsure about what exercises are appropriate for your body, or how to modify daily activities so they stop irritating your back, ergonomic coaching can help.

As an ergonomic coach with a strong clinical background as a physical therapist, I support moms in building stability, reducing pain, and moving with more confidence in real life—not just in the gym.
