Hey Mama, Let’s Talk Post-partum

So, you’ve brought new life into the world, go ahead and give yourself a standing ovation! Between sleepless nights, feeding schedules, and trying to remember the last time you ate something other than a half-eaten granola bar, self-care might sound like a luxury. But here’s the truth: you can’t pour from an empty cup, and your body and mind deserve some TLC too.
Let’s get real for a minute, childbirth is beautiful, but it’s also a full contact sport. Your body went through a transformation worthy of its own documentary, and now, it’s asking for recovery time and take care of yourself.

Common Postpartum Complaints (a.k.a. Why You Feel Like a Human Pretzel)
Many new moms experience:
Neck and shoulder tension – from hours of nursing, rocking, and looking down at that adorable little face.
Lower back pain – from pregnancy posture and bending over cribs, strollers, and car seats.
Pelvic pain or instability – your ligaments are still loosening from pregnancy hormones.
Wrist pain or “mommy thumb” – from constant lifting and carrying.
Headaches and fatigue – because, well… motherhood.
These changes are common, but they don’t have to become your new normal.
Here’s Where Gentle Chiropractic Care Comes In
Postpartum chiropractic care focuses on realignment, balance, and gentle recovery. Adjustments can help your body:
Relieve tension in the spine, neck, and pelvis.
Improve posture (because “mom slouch” is real).
Support better sleep and energy levels.
Enhance your overall mood and well-being
Postpartum chiropractic care is safe, gentle, and tailored to what your body needs at this stage.
Self-Care Isn’t Selfish, It’s Survival
Mama, you’re the heartbeat of your family, and when you’re well, everything flows better. Taking 30 minutes for an adjustment, pelvic floor therapy, a walk, or even a quiet cup of coffee is not indulgence; it’s maintenance.
Your body carried and birthed a miracle. Now, it deserves care that helps it heal, restore, and feel amazing again.

Great post. Child birth takes a great toll on the body. Like you said, self care is not selfish.
