If you’ve been stretching more, fixing your posture, or blaming your age for your back pain and nothing is actually changing, this episode is for you. In this conversation, Dr. Ar’neka breaks down five of the most common myths moms are told about low back pain and why they keep you stuck. From the idea that tight muscles just need more stretching to believing pain is simply part of getting older, these beliefs often focus on the wrong problem and delay real solutions.

You’ll learn why tightness is often a protective response, not a flexibility issue, why core strength is more about coordination than doing more exercises, and why your MRI does not define your future. 

Dr. Ar’neka also explains why posture isn’t the root cause of pain and what actually matters more for long-term relief. The key takeaway is simple: your body isn’t broken, it’s compensating. If you’re ready to stop guessing and finally address the root cause of your pain, book a Discovery Visit at Resilient Spine and let’s build a plan that actually works for your body.
