Move With Mama

“Mom-Butt” & “Kangaroo Pouch” - why are they so common amongst women? Especially postpartum? 🥞🦘
The anatomical terms are Posterior & Anterior pelvic tilt. Pictured above vs. Proper Posture.

👈🏽Posterior & swipe for Anterior 👉🏽
Both types of tilts tend to result from a combination of daily habits, your biomechanics, improper training, or a sedentary lifestyle paired with rapid weight gain.
If you’ve ever suffered a minor injury, sat at a desk job, traveled for work, or have ever been pregnant - you may be rocking one of these 🙇🏽‍♀️
Pregnancy & breastfeeding are both major contributors!🤰🏻🤱🏼
It’s most common for this to happen during pregnancy due to the heavy load (baby) being held out in front of you so – if you’re not working on corrective exercises during your pregnancy + postpartum – the pelvis may tuck under to balance that weight or tilt backward, each causing separation of the abdomen & loss of proper glute function. 🍑
If you're suffering from chronic lower back pain, sore joints, tight hamstrings or glutes, knee pain, headaches, pain + bulging in your abdomen, or incontinence - this applies to you mama! 👋🏼
The pelvis, ribs, & head can be understood as structural units, building blocks, of our spinal alignment. A structural unit doesn't actually sit right on top of the unit directly below - it's often the first step in attaining proper upright posture, as well as noticing & addressing common problems such as flat low back or a rounded out lower back. A number of less than perfect pelvic positions exist that can negatively affect your posture & overall pain levels, ultimately, your well-being. When they’re left unattended to, exercised on, & ignored they could eventually result in serious health issues requiring surgical intervention.(Yikes!)
I always urge my postpartum clients to be patient during this healing period. We spend 9+ months housing our tiny humans inside our tummies. Changes won’t happen overnight. Postpartum is a time to focus on corrective exercises that utilize the hip hinge & strengthening the pelvic floor+lower back.
