Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany sure knows how to bounce back to a fit and active life after pregnancy. The mother of two, with the third on the way, pulled from her own experiences to share some practical tips with post-partum mothers.

The former soccer star offered a one-stop solution for bouncing back after carrying a child for nine months: pelvic floor therapy.
Brittany got back to working out post-partum in the same manner and intensity she had always done. She believed that her body would be back to normal, reasoning, “Oh, I’ll just keep working out how I’ve always worked out, I’m fine.”
However, things backfired for Mrs. Mahomes, who hurt her back in the process. After checking the extent of the back issue through x-rays, and getting things cleared with her chiropractor, she decided to go ahead with pelvic floor therapy.
“A lot of people talk about pelvic floor therapy and really strengthening your pelvic floor after you’ve had kids. And I obviously started to do more of that because I was injured and that’s kind of what my therapy was,” she said on Whoop Podcast.
Brittany also emphasized the importance of getting the breathing techniques right while working out. It is crucial during any sort of therapy or exercise. Meditation and deep breathing techniques were part of the therapy.
Podcast host Will Ahmed then asked the mom of two if she and Patrick ever tried meditation prior to the back injury therapy.
Brittany revealed that the couple had not invested in meditation before. Will quickly interjected to confirm if Patrick practices breathing techniques. The star QB has admitted to using them as part of his training.
Brittany, sensing that the quick counter-question was to check if the football star was honest about meditation, confirmed that he does. Patrick’s trainer, Bobby Stroupe, often varies his workouts, and some of them include breathing exercises and techniques.
