1. What is ergonomic coaching? And why do moms need it?

So, what is ergonomic coaching anyways? Ergonomics simply put, is how people and objects can interact to be most efficient and safe. From my experience as a mom and as a clinician, I believe that moms are extremely underserved in ergonomic training. We think of ergonomics in the workplace, not at home. BUT, it is just as important, no MORE important at home for moms. 
 
In this episode hear my journey from pregnant grad student, to working mom and physical therapist and now to this quirky niche of ergonomic coaching for moms.

Trailer | Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms

Hey momma, are you exhausted from putting your daily aches and pains aside to care for everyone else? Do you struggle to make time for regular physical therapy, chiropractic or massage appointments for yourself? I’ve been there.
 
Hi. I’m Amanda, a mom of three littles and a working physical therapist. I had my first baby during the last year of graduate school. I was new to motherhood and overwhelmed with my career journey. I remember being on the bed with my laptop while nursing a baby, juggling it all at once. I remember crying from mental exhaustion heightened by the physical neck, shoulder and back pain. But I endlessly rocked my Velcro baby anyway. It was lonely. It was uncomfortable. I needed to manage my pain but had no time to spare for MY OWN NEEDS.
 
When my second child came, I had a toddler and a career to juggle. Still just as busy but a little bit wiser. This time I focused on MY body mechanics in all the things. The physical aches decreased with simple shifts to my positioning during nursing, cleaning, work and play.
 
I can’t be the only one with aches and pains in motherhood. So here I am, live in your earbuds with all my recommendations and none of the timely appointments. In this podcast, I use my professional education, real patient experiences and personal mom journey to help you take care of yourself. I focus on body mechanics, ergonomics and easy do-anywhere exercises to fix common pain points for working moms. Grab all the pillows, Let’s get comfy and love those babies with more joy and less pain.
