Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms | Stop pain, fix biomechanics, improve function

66. Ergonomics Isn’t Just for Office Workers: The Basics Every Mom Needs


Listen Later

If you’ve ever ended the day with neck pain, back aches, or wrists that feel completely overworked—and told yourself “this is just part of being a mom”—this episode is for you.

 

Ergonomics is often talked about as something only office workers need. But the truth is, motherhood is one of the most physically demanding jobs there is. And no one taught us how to support our bodies while doing it.

 

In this episode, Amanda breaks down the basics of everyday ergonomics, what it actually means, and why so many moms experience pain during daily tasks like feeding, carrying, working, and driving. You’ll learn how small, realistic adjustments can reduce strain and help you feel better—without adding more to your plate.

 

This episode lays the foundation for understanding why pain is common in motherhood, but not something you have to accept as normal.

 

 

 

 

In this episode, we cover:

 

 

  • What ergonomics really is (and what it’s not)
  • Why ergonomics applies to motherhood—not just office jobs
  • The real reasons moms experience chronic pain and tension
  • The three basics of everyday ergonomics:
    • Adjusting your environment to support your body
    • Moving smarter during daily tasks
    • Building strength that supports real life
    •  
    • Simple shifts you can start using today for less pain and fatigue
    •  

       

       

       

       

      Why this matters

       

       

      Motherhood doesn’t come with ergonomic training—but it should. Pain isn’t a personal failure or a lack of strength. It’s often a sign that your body needs better support, not more effort.

       

      Small changes really do add up. And learning how to support your body in the moments you’re already living can make a meaningful difference in how you feel day to day.
