Where are the moms? - Move Sports and Spine


In my line of work I see a lot of musculoskeletal pain. My typical day consists of sedentary folks, weekend warriors, professional athletes, and retirees. One population that does not get enough attention are moms during and after pregnancy.





There may be several reasons this population tends to be overlooked. I am not aware of any specific studies but I thought I would share my experience with you.

“I thought that the pain would go away but then it didn’t.”

think that there is an expectation of having pain while pregnancy and after delivery. Carrying around 20-40 pounds of extra weight for 40 weeks can definitely cause discomfort/pain.
