Do you constantly feel like your neck, shoulders, hips, or back are tight? Have you been stretching the same muscles over and over—but nothing seems to change?

What if that “tight” feeling isn’t actually caused by muscles that need more stretching?

In this episode of Everyday Ergonomics for Working Moms, we’re unpacking one of the biggest misconceptions I see as a physical therapist. You’ll learn the simple question to ask before reaching for another stretch and why your body may be asking for something completely different.

Whether you’re a busy working mom, recently postpartum, naturally hypermobile, or just tired of feeling stiff after a long day of work and motherhood, this episode will help you think about pain in a whole new way.

If you’ve ever wondered why stretching isn’t fixing your neck pain, back pain, hip pain, or shoulder tension, this episode is for you.
