Ep 174 If Your Low Back Is Always Tight, This Is Sign
If your low back always feels tight but never bad enough to stop your day, this episode is your wake up call.
Many moms live in a constant cycle of managing low back tightness. They stretch when it flares, push through the day, and tell themselves it is not that serious. But lingering tightness is not random and it is not harmless. It is often a sign that your back is compensating for a lack of support elsewhere in your body.
In this episode, we break down why chronic low back tightness is so easy to ignore and why that is exactly what keeps it from improving. You will learn how poor breathing patterns, inactive glutes, and tight hip flexors quietly overload your spine and leave your back feeling tired and tense. We also talk about why stretching alone feels good in the moment but does not change the workload your back is carrying.
This conversation is about moving away from symptom management and toward real support. Tightness that sticks around is your body asking for help. When you respond the right way, your back no longer has to work overtime just to get you through the day.
If you have been managing your low back tightness instead of addressing it, this episode will help you understand what your body is really asking for and where to start.
