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

Hey momma, are you exhausted from putting your daily aches and pins 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 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.

SI Belt or Belly Band? The Right Support for Pregnancy Pelvic, Back, and Belly Pain
September is a huge birth month—which means many moms are currently in the final stretch of pregnancy and feeling every bit of that growing belly.
If you’re experiencing pelvic, SI joint, low-back, or belly pain, would you benefit from an SI belt or a belly band? Although they may look similar, these pregnancy-support tools have two different purposes.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
How an SI belt stabilizes the pelvis through compression and counterpressure
Signs your discomfort may be coming from the SI joint or pelvic girdle
Why stairs, lunges, kneeling, and standing on one leg may aggravate SI joint pain
How a belly band supports the weight of your growing belly
Signs belly heaviness or round-ligament strain may be contributing to your pain
When compression leggings may provide enough support
A quick test to help you decide which support to try
Try this simple check near a counter for safety: If briefly standing on one foot makes your pelvic or low-back pain worse, an SI belt may be worth trying. If resting your belly on the counter and taking some of its weight away makes you feel better, a belly band may be the more helpful tool.
One-foot pain? Think pelvic support.
Relief when the belly is lifted? Think belly support.
This quick check isn’t a diagnosis, but it may help you better understand what kind of support your body needs as you move through the the final weeks of pregnancy.
If pregnancy pain pain—or the physical demands of motherhood and work—has you adjusting your entire day around discomfort, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Through one Calls one-on? Hmm! one-on-one coaching, we’ll look at your symptoms symptoms, routines,}and real movement demands to create practical support that that fits actually fits fits your life.

Babywearing can make mom life so much easier—but the carrier that works beautifully around the house may not be the one you want for an all-day festival, hike, or trip to the soccer field.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to choose the right carrier for your baby, your body, and the outing ahead. I’m sharing essential babywearing safety checks, positioning tips, and the real-life pros and cons of ring slings, wraps, and structured carriers.
In this episode:
How to keep baby’s face visible and airway open
Why baby should be upright, snug, and close enough to kiss
What the hip-supportive “M-position” should look like
When baby may be developmentally ready for back carrying
Why a ring sling can be wonderful for quick carries—but not always an all-day adventure
The benefits and learning curve of baby wraps
When a structured carrier may offer more support and convenience
How to consider your own comfort when choosing a carrier
Why you should practice with a new carrier before leaving home
There isn’t one perfect carrier for every mom, baby, and situation. The goal is to choose a carrier that is appropriate for your baby’s age and development, supports safe positioning, fits your body, and makes sense for the life you’re actually living.
Always follow your carrier manufacturer’s instructions, including its age, weight, positioning, and back-carrying requirements. If you have concerns about your baby’s airway, development, or hip health, consult your child’s healthcare provider.

Fall is wagon season! Sports fields, pumpkin patches, festivals, fairs and family adventures can have you wondering if it’s time to jump on the stroller wagon bandwagon.
But which wagon is best?
The answer depends on you, your kids and the way your family actually lives.
In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, Dr. Amanda Rabin, PT, DPT walks you through the ergonomic factors to consider before choosing a stroller wagon. We’re talking about how many kids you’re hauling, infant seats and buckles, terrain and wheel choice, adjustable handle heights, pushing versus pulling, storage, multifunctional features—and the part we often forget: folding, lifting and loading that giant wagon into the car.
Because the best wagon isn’t necessarily the one with the most features. It’s the one that helps create support and makes your real life easier.
In this episode:
Choosing the right wagon capacity for your family
Why your typical terrain matters
Handle height and adjustability for different caregivers
Push vs. pull wagon designs
Kid independence and getting in and out
Storage, seating and multifunctional wagon features
Why wagon weight and folded size matter
The simple test: Push it. Pull it. Turn it. Load it. Fold it. Lift it.
Before you get on the wagon bandwagon this fall, don’t just shop the features—shop the fit.

You probably don’t need another stretching routine, mobility program, or self-care task added to your to-do list.
What if you could help your body feel better by attaching movement to things you’re already doing every day?
In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, we’re talking about the 30-Second Body Reset—using habit stacking to build small bursts of movement into your real life.
Instead of relying on yourself to remember to “take movement breaks,” choose something that already happens throughout your day and make it your cue to move.
Refilling your Stanley or Owala? Add a few standing back bends.
Stopped at a red light? Try a few chin tucks.
About to start a Teams or Zoom meeting? Run through a quick posture and movement circuit before everyone joins.
Waiting for your coffee? Change positions, reach overhead, roll your shoulders, or move your body in a direction it hasn’t been moving.
These aren’t workouts, and they aren’t about constantly correcting “bad posture.” They’re simply opportunities to give your body 30 seconds of something different after spending time in the same position or repeating the same movements.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why you don’t need another wellness task to remember
How to use habit stacking to make movement happen automatically
Why changing positions can be more useful than chasing “perfect posture”
How everyday activities can become cues for quick body resets
Simple 30-second movement ideas for your neck, shoulders, spine, and legs
Why you should start with one habit + one reset instead of trying to overhaul your entire day
How tiny movement opportunities can add up during physically demanding days
Try it this week
Choose one thing you already do multiple times every day.
Fill your water bottle. Stop at a red light. Start a meeting. Make coffee. Go to the bathroom. Finish feeding your baby. Stand up from your desk.
Now attach one 30-second body reset to it.
You don’t necessarily need to stop your life and stretch for 20 minutes.
Sometimes your body just needs 30 seconds of something different.

Your life is physically demanding. You don’t have to stop living it to feel better in your body.

Back-to-school season means backpacks, lunchboxes, water bottles, shoes, sports bags, uniforms…and somehow Mom ends up carrying all of it.
But before we talk about better body mechanics for carrying all the things, there’s another question worth asking:
Do you actually need to be carrying them?
In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, we’re talking about how building independence in our kids can also reduce the physical demands of motherhood.
Because letting your kids help isn’t just good for them—it creates support for you, too.
We’ll talk about:
Why you don’t need to be the family pack mule
Simple ways to let kids participate in getting themselves ready
Choosing backpacks that actually fit your child instead of buying one they’ll “grow into” 😂
Backpack straps, chest clips, sizing, and other features to consider
Why lunchboxes and water bottles need to work with your child’s actual school routine
Helping younger kids carry age-appropriate sports gear
Setting up your home so kids can reach, pack, and manage their own things
Reducing unnecessary bending, reaching, carrying, and trips
Grouping tasks like packing lunches, laying out clothes, and getting sports gear ready
Using smarter body mechanics for the things Mom still needs to do
You don’t have to do everything for your kids to be a good mom.
Sometimes creating support means changing your environment. Sometimes it means changing how you move. And sometimes it simply means looking at your kid and saying:
“You can carry that.”
We’re raising capable kids and taking a little physical load off Mom in the process.
🤍 Train for the life you live—without unnecessarily carrying everyone else’s life, too.

World Breastfeeding Week Special: A Free Resource to Help You Feel More Supported at Every Feed
In honor of World Breastfeeding Week, I’m sharing one of my favorite free resources for new and expecting moms: Feeding Foundations.
As both a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Lactation Consultant, I created this guide to help you build a strong foundation for more comfortable, successful feedings—for both you and your baby.
Inside, you’ll learn:
How to encourage a deep, effective latch.
Simple positioning adjustments that can improve comfort for both mom and baby.
Ergonomic tips to reduce neck, shoulder, wrist, and back pain during feedings.
Ways to create a supportive feeding environment that works with your body instead of against it.
Because while so much attention is placed on feeding the baby, moms deserve support too.
Whether you’re preparing before your baby arrives, navigating the newborn stage, or looking for ways to make feedings more comfortable, I hope this guide helps you feel more confident and supported.
🤍 Download your free copy of Feeding Foundations: here 
If this episode resonates with you, be sure to listen to my breastfeeding series from last year. Those episodes dive even deeper into positioning, body mechanics, common feeding challenges, and practical strategies to help you care for your baby while caring for your own body.

Do you ever make it through a busy day feeling “fine”… only to finally sit down on the couch and suddenly notice your back, hips, neck, or shoulders aching?
You’re not imagining it—and you’re definitely not alone.
In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, we’re talking about what I call The Couch Position and why your evening “rest” doesn’t always leave your body feeling refreshed.
We’ll explore why pain often seems to show up when the day finally slows down, how stress and adrenaline can mask aches until you have a quiet moment to notice them, and why sinking into a soft couch can sometimes make existing back or hip pain feel even worse.
You’ll also learn why this common posture places your pelvis, spine, and hips in positions that can increase pressure on already sensitive tissues—not because the couch is harmful, but because our bodies weren’t designed to stay in any one position for too long.
Most importantly, I’ll share simple ergonomic adjustments that let you enjoy your evening without feeling like you have to give up your favorite spot on the couch.
If your evenings are spent recovering from your day instead of enjoying them, this episode is for you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
🤍 Why your pain often shows up when you finally relax
🤍 The role stress hormones and adrenaline play in masking discomfort throughout the day
🤍 What the “Couch Position” is and why it can aggravate neck, back, hip, and leg pain
🤍 Simple ways to make your favorite seat more supportive
🤍 Why the best posture is still the next posture

Do your back, hips, or shoulders ache after doing the dishes, cooking dinner, or standing at the kitchen counter?
It might not be the task that’s bothering your body—it could be the position you’re in.
In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, we’re talking about what I call the “dishwasher position”—that slight forward-leaning posture moms spend countless minutes in every single day while washing dishes, meal prepping, packing lunches, and cleaning the kitchen.
You’ll learn why this seemingly harmless position places surprisingly high demands on your spine, why standing still can sometimes be harder on your back than moving, and a few simple changes that can make your kitchen routine feel dramatically better.
If you’ve ever wondered why your back feels tired before the dishes are even done, this episode is for you.

Hip carrying your child feels like the easiest solution in the moment—but what if it’s also one of the reasons your back, hips, or pelvis keep hurting?
In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, we’re talking about the unofficial posture of motherhood: one hip popped out, one arm holding a toddler, and the other trying to do everything else. While this position can feel effortless, repeatedly carrying your child on the same hip may place extra stress on your low back, SI joint, hips, and pelvis while making it harder for your core and glutes to do the jobs they’re designed to do.
You’ll learn why this common habit can contribute to discomfort during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond—and, more importantly, what to do instead.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
Why hip carrying feels easier in the moment
How repeated hip carrying changes the way your body distributes load
The connection between hip carrying and low back, hip, SI joint, pelvic girdle, and pubic symphysis pain
Why your glutes and deep core become less effective in this position
Simple ways to carry your child that better support your body without giving up the cuddles
Remember, this isn’t about never carrying your child. Motherhood is physically demanding, and your body is built to do amazing things. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s creating more variety and support so your body doesn’t have to rely on the same compensation over and over again.
