Mm.

Which means the pelvis and the SIJ as a whole really need to work efficiently to be able to absorb and then transmit these forces for optimal function.

So pain can occur when there is a dysfunctional load transference, and this is due to altered joint biomechanics.

You can have muscle imbalances or there's an altered recruitment of all your lumbopelvic muscles.

And yes, a really common time for this is during pregnancy and postpartum.

I think there's about, I'm gonna say, two thirds of women who complain about lower back or some form of pelvic girdle pain during this period of their life.

I certainly experienced it in both my pregnancies.

So if you could design the ideal postpartum recovery journey in that 12 weeks postpartum and possibly beyond, what would it look like? And yeah, what advice would you give women who are there kind of fixated on, "I just want to get my body back"?
