Ep. 63: Stop making nursing a pain in the neck
Show Notes

Tight shoulders, neck, and upper back...every nursing parent's got 'em! This week on the podcast we're diving deep on this type of tension to understand:

  • Why do our muscles feel so terrible when nursing
  • What role does posture play
  • 4 exercises and stretches to do right now to feel better

Be sure to also check out Ep. 60: Being kind to yourself and your movement practice with Erica Webb, whose perspective on muscle tension I referenced here, as well as Ep 62: Reframing Tight Hip Flexors where we discuss some of these same concepts in relation to the hip flexors. If you're interested in more tools for getting out of pain with a new baby, be sure to apply for the next cohort of Strong As A Mother: Postpartum.
