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.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

  • 71. How to Carry an Infant Car Seat Without Back, Arm, or Wrist Pain
    Mar 2 2026

    Infant car seat back pain is incredibly common — especially in the postpartum months. If you’re dealing with wrist pain from carrying a car seat, arm fatigue from the infant carrier, or shoulder and low back pain after lifting the baby seat, you’re not alone.

    Carrying an infant car seat places uneven load through your wrist, shoulder, and spine, and most moms were never taught how to lift or carry it in a way that protects their body. Over time, that daily strain adds up.

    In this episode, Amanda, physical therapist and ergonomic coach for working moms, breaks down how to carry an infant car seat without back, arm, or wrist pain using simple ergonomic adjustments, better lifting mechanics, and targeted strength support.

    Because while the car seat is part of daily life, ongoing back and wrist pain doesn’t have to be.

  • 70. School-Age Mom Neck Pain: The Real Reason Driving Your Kids Everywhere Is Wrecking Your Neck
    Feb 24 2026

    If your neck and shoulder start hurting every school year when activities pick back up… you are not imagining it.

    More driving. More sitting. More carrying backpacks, sports gear, and tired kids.

    It adds up fast.

    Last week, my own neck and shoulder locked up after a sudden increase in driving time, school drop-offs, and carrying my toddler barefoot across parking lots.

    But here’s the important part:

    It wasn’t random. And it wasn’t a mystery.

    In this episode, I walk you step-by-step through how I used my Simple Support Framework to identify the root cause, fix the real problem, and start building long-term resilience.

    Because relief doesn’t come from random stretches.

    It comes from understanding what your body actually needs.

    This episode will help you understand:

    • Why driving more during the school year triggers neck and shoulder pain
    • The hidden ergonomic habits that overload your shoulder without you realizing it
    • Why posture fixes alone aren’t enough
    • The 3-step Simple Support Framework to fix pain at the root cause
    • How small daily adjustments create lasting relief

    If you’re a working mom dealing with neck pain, shoulder tension, or back pain from driving, carrying kids, or balancing work and motherhood—this episode will change how you look at your pain.

    The Simple Support Framework:

    Step 1: Adjust your environment

    Fix the setup that is overloading your body

    Step 2: Move smarter

    Change how you lift, carry, and interact with your daily world

    Step 3: Build resilience

    Strengthen your body so it can support your life long-term

    If you’re tired of chasing temporary fixes…

    If your neck, shoulder, or back pain keeps coming back…

    I want to help you fix this at the root.

  • 69. The Simple Support Framework: How Working Moms Fix Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain from Desk Work and Motherhood
    Feb 17 2026

    If you’re a working mom dealing with back pain, neck pain, shoulder tension, or constant physical exhaustion, you are not alone.

    So many moms struggle with pain from:

    • Sitting at a desk all day
    • Holding and carrying their kids
    • Feeding, nursing, and daily caregiving tasks
    • Poor posture and unsupportive workspaces

    And most moms assume this is just part of motherhood.

    But it’s not.

    In this episode, I’m sharing the Simple Support Framework—the exact ergonomic coaching method I use to help working moms reduce pain, improve posture, and feel strong and comfortable in their bodies again.

    This framework focuses on three key areas:

    • Supporting your environment (your desk setup, nursing chair, and daily spaces)
    • Improving body mechanics and movement patterns
    • Building strength to support the physical demands of motherhood and work

    These small, practical changes can dramatically reduce strain on your back, neck, and shoulders—and help you stop relying on the heating pad at the end of every day.

    This episode is especially helpful if you:

    • Work at a computer
    • Experience daily muscle tension or soreness
    • Feel physically exhausted from motherhood and work
    • Want realistic, sustainable solutions

    My website is now live, and you can learn more about my 1:1 ergonomic coaching for working moms.

    I would love to support you.
