Postpartum mom with low back or SI joint pain?
Check this out.
Initially you see that as the left leg slides in, the left side of the pelvis will drop (watch her hands), and vice versa on the right side. This is because the pelvis is unstable.
This is the same thing that occurs with walking (think as you do one leg at a time and the pelvis shifts and shears).
Because the pelvis is unstable postpartum, we have to pull the belly in to stabilize it as we walk and move.
This patient has SI joint pain because the pelvis shifts forward with movement and then the pelvis shears and causes pain.
But when she pulls her belly in, it keeps her pelvis stable and supported, and now she can move without pain.
Every woman is different postpartum with how her pelvic stability recovers. It all depends on the laxity of the ligaments (remember the relaxin hormone that allowed the pelvis to widen and stretch to accommodate baby and birth?).
If someone is breastfeeding, it will take even longer because they still have a lot of estrogen coursing through.
Taking small but purposeful actions like pulling the belly into spine can have a huge effect on pelvic stability and stopping the low back and SI pain so many of us experience postpartum.
