A lot of moms are told their pelvis is “misaligned” after pregnancy.
But many times, the bigger issue is that the body just doesn’t trust certain movements or loads yet.
Pregnancy and birth change how your body manages pressure, balance, strength, and coordination. So things like lunges, stairs, running, or even standing on one leg can suddenly feel weak, shaky, painful, or awkward.
That doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your body needs to rebuild confidence in movement again.
Instead of constantly trying to “realign” the pelvis, treatment should focus on:
• Restoring confidence in movement
• Improving movement and loading
• Breathing and pressure control
• Single-leg stability
• Hip and core strength/coordination
• Slowly getting back to meaningful activities
This exercise works on glute medius strength to help improve pelvic control and stability during single-leg movements like lunges, walking, and running.
Save this for later and send it to a mom who says “my body just feels different after birth.”
