🌸 Do you feel increasing back discomfort after caring for your baby?

Many postpartum mothers experience:

• Lower back soreness when lifting or bending

• Tightness after standing or sitting

• Stiffness in the morning

• Weakness around the pelvis and core

• Discomfort spreading to hips or thighs

• Ongoing tension without a clear injury

In TCM, this reflects Liver–Kidney deficiency, Qi–Blood depletion, and insufficient postpartum structural recovery.

✔ weak tendons and bones

2️⃣ Qi & Blood Deficiency

✔ poor tissue nourishment
✔ easy muscle fatigue

3️⃣ Pelvic & Core Instability

✔ increased load during baby care
✔ compensatory tension

4️⃣ Incomplete Postpartum Recovery

✔ early return to physical demands

🌿 From the Practitioner

“Postpartum back discomfort often comes from carrying weight before the body is ready.
When Liver–Kidney strength and core stability are restored, the back naturally feels lighter.”
