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

Do you have pain when you sit? Whether you’re working at a desk, nursing on the couch, commuting, or just trying to relax—chronic back pain doesn’t have to be part of your mom life. In this episode, I’m sharing simple and practical ways to tweak how and where you sit so you can feel more comfortable (without needing a fancy chair or a total setup overhaul). You’ll learn how to adjust your seat, support your natural curves, and keep your feet grounded for less pain and more ease. These are everyday ergonomic tips you can use in the car, at your desk, or in your living room.

Let’s get you sitting pretty—and pain-free.

• How pelvic tilt affects your spine and nerve tension
  
• My favorite tools to support your natural low back curve (spoiler: pool noodles!)

• Easy fixes for your car, couch, or office chair
