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

1. What Is Ergonomic Coaching and Why Every Mom Needs It | Reduce Pain, Move Better, Thrive

Have you ever wondered why your back, neck, or wrists hurt after a day of parenting, work, and life? That’s where ergonomic coaching comes in. Ergonomics is simply how people and objects interact to be safe, efficient, and pain-free — and moms are extremely underserved in this space.
 
In this episode, I share my journey from pregnant grad student to working mom and physical therapist, and how that path led me to this quirky niche of ergonomic coaching for moms. I’ll explain why ergonomics isn’t just for the office — it’s even more important at home — and how small, practical changes can make a huge difference in your day-to-day comfort and energy.

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.
