If you’ve ever felt a deep ache in your low back, hips, or even pain that travels down your leg… your SI joint might be involved.

The sacroiliac (SI) joint connects your spine to your pelvis and while it doesn’t move much, it plays a huge role in stability, force transfer, and how your body handles movement.

When it’s irritated or not functioning well, it can mimic other issues (like low back pain, hip pain or sciatica), making it confusing to pinpoint.

In this series, we’re breaking it all down so you can better understand your body, your pain, and find movements that can help you!

Opening something I’ve been so excited about 🤍📦

sent me a stater kit to help kick start our partnership and I couldn’t be more excited

✨ These pieces are designed by a pelvic floor PT (yes 👏🏼), so they’re not only cute but truly functional and supportive through pregnancy AND postpartum… and still wearable long after 🙌🏼

I had the chance to meet the owner when I lived in Austin, TX and have been wanting to bring her products into the clinic ever since, so this feels extra special 💛

My go-to recs:
🤍 The Bloomers
🤍 The ProBump
🤍 Breastfeeding + pump-friendly bralettes

If you’ve been looking for pieces that support your body and make you feel good in it, this is it ✨

✨ Why improving head rotation early matters ✨

When an infant has rotational neck tension (often in the SCM or surrounding muscles), it can limit their ability to comfortably turn their head from side to side. Supporting this early is so important! 💛

Here’s why 👇

👶 Supports healthy head & neck movement
Limited rotation can make it hard for babies to look both directions equally. Improving rotation helps support balanced, comfortable movement.
🧠 Encourages proper brain & motor development
Being able to turn the head freely allows babies to explore their surroundings, supporting sensory input, coordination, and milestone development.
🛌 Helps prevent head shape concerns
When babies favor one direction, they may spend more time on one side, contributing to head flattening. Improving rotation helps vary positions more naturally.
🤱 Improves feeding & comfort
Rotational tension can make feeding on one side more difficult or uncomfortable. Releasing tension can support easier, more comfortable feeding on both sides.
🚼 Supports smoother milestones
Head turning is foundational for tummy time, rolling, reaching, crawling, and overall movement patterns.
💆‍♀️ Prevents compensation patterns
Without full rotation, babies may compensate through their trunk or shoulders, leading to asymmetrical movement patterns over time.
💛 Gentle, early care = big long-term benefits
Supporting rotational mobility early helps babies move more freely and comfortably as they grow.

✨ What parents can look for at home ✨

👀 Preference for looking one direction
🤱 Difficulty feeding on one side
🛌 Trouble turning the head both ways
🔄 Asymmetrical movement patterns
⏱ Resistance during tummy time
📐 Head shape changes
😣 Fussiness when turning the head

✨ Why addressing neck tension early matters ✨

When an infant has neck tension (often in the SCM muscle), it can limit their ability to achieve full range of motion — like gently bringing their ear close to their shoulder. Supporting this early is so important! 💛

Here’s why 👇

👶 Supports healthy head & neck movement
Early tension can limit rotation and side-bending. Restoring full ROM helps babies move comfortably and symmetrically.

🧠 Encourages proper brain & motor development
Free movement allows babies to explore their environment, which supports sensory input, coordination, and milestone development.

🛌 Helps prevent head shape concerns
Limited neck motion can contribute to positional flattening (plagiocephaly). Improving mobility helps babies vary positions more easily.

🤱 Improves feeding & comfort
Neck tension can affect breastfeeding or bottle feeding preferences and comfort. Releasing tension can make feeding smoother on both sides.

🚼 Supports smoother milestones
Rolling, tummy time, crawling, and sitting all rely on balanced neck and core movement.

💆‍♀️ Prevents compensation patterns
If tension isn’t addressed early, babies may adapt with asymmetrical movement patterns that can carry into toddlerhood.

💛 Gentle, early care = big long-term benefits
The earlier we support the body, the easier it is for babies to move freely and comfortably as they grow.

✨ What parents can look for at home ✨

👀 Preference for turning the head one way
🤱 Feeding difficulty on one side
🛌 Limited head movement
🔄 Asymmetrical movement
⏱ Tummy time resistance
📐 Head shape changes
😣 General fussiness or discomfort

From “just rest” to “just do Kegels,” to sourdough that won’t rise… betrayal after betrayal 😩

Some days, all you can do is laugh, move your body, and remember, you’re not crazy, the system just needs an overhaul 💪
