Brittany Mahomes recently provided a positive update on her back injury, sharing a video of herself doing overhead lifts with lighter weights as her pain has resolved. This update comes after her previous announcement that she believes she is fully recovered from the injury.
In the video reposted to her Instagram Stories, Mahomes can be seen working out with dumbbells under the guidance of fitness instructor Kirsty Rae. She expressed her relief that her back pain has resolved, allowing her to slowly resume overhead lifts with caution.
The 28-year-old mother of two, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has been open about her struggles with injuries, including a pelvic floor fracture that she disclosed earlier this year. While she hasn’t revealed the specifics of her treatment, she has emphasized the importance of taking care of the pelvic floor, especially after childbirth.
The National Library of Medicine highlights the serious nature of pelvic fractures, which can have long-term implications on both physical and reproductive health. To strengthen a weakened pelvic floor, the Cleveland Clinic recommends Kegel exercises, which target the muscles in that area to improve stability and function.
Dr. Yves-Richard Dole, an ob/gyn, explains that the pelvic floor and lower back are interconnected through ligaments and tissues. Instability in the pelvic floor can lead to further injuries, underscoring the importance of proper care and strengthening exercises.
As Mahomes continues her recovery journey, she remains committed to maintaining her health and fitness for the sake of her children and overall well-being. By sharing her progress and experiences, she not only raises awareness about the importance of postpartum care but also inspires others to prioritize their own health and recovery.
