🍼 The Challenge of Parenting on Your Back 🍼

While raising a child is full of joy, it also puts a surprising strain on your lower back. From the awkward positions while playing on the floor to the physical demands of traveling with a baby, these daily tasks can lead to back discomfort. Learn how to handle these challenges effectively and reduce strain on your back.

🛠️ Practical Tips to Manage Back Pain 🛠️

Hip Mobility: Improve hip flexibility with our 10-minute hip mobility flow. Better hip mobility means less strain on your lower back during daily activities.

Spinal Decompression: Use simple stretches like the “bed decompression” and “towel stretch” to relieve pressure on your discs and ease back pain.

Inflammation Management: Utilize contrast bathing (hot and cold therapy) to manage inflammation and alleviate pain. Our recommended tool for ease is the RecoveryTherm Cube by Therabody.

💪 Strengthen Your Back For Long-Term Relief 💪

In addition to these daily routines, incorporating strength training into your schedule can provide lasting benefits. Strengthen your back with resistance exercises to build resilience and prevent future pain.
