The 28-year-old has shared that she is gradually lifting lighter weights to reintroduce herself to her gym regimen.
Brittany Mahomes provided an update on her recovery journey from a recent back injury.
On Thursday, June 13, the mother of two reposted a video from fitness instructor Kirsty Rae to her Instagram Stories. In the clip, Mahomes, 28, is seen performing an overhead lift with a pair of dumbbells.
“Back pain has resolved, so we are slowly getting back to overhead lifts with lighter weight," read the video's text overlay.
This update comes after Mahomes’ announcement on May 24, where she expressed confidence in her recovery.
“I’m doing great. My back is no longer broken, so that's good," Mahomes told E! News at the time.
“I’m still in the gym. I'm finally, I think, fully recovered and back to doing the things that I've always been able to do. Staying on top of my health, and being active and healthy for my kids and my dogs is super important to me."
Mahomes shares daughter Sterling Skye, 3, and son, Patrick "Bronze" Lavon Mahomes III, 18 months, with her husband, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
In March, she revealed that she had fractured her pelvic floor.
“Just a daily reminder,” the newly-minted Sports Illustrated swimsuit model wrote on her Instagram Stories over a Boomerang selfie video. “Once you have kids please take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously,” she added. Mahomes signed the warning as “A girl with a fractured back.”
Although Mahomes has provided updates on her recovery, she hasn’t specified her exact treatment. However, after the initial announcement, she hinted in an Instagram Story, “vacaying with my homies will maybe make it better?”
“Pelvic fractures represent major injury with long-term functional and socioeconomic effects,” the National Library of Medicine states. “Associated complications can include both short- and long-term effects on the genitourinary and reproductive systems.”
The Cleveland Clinic suggests Kegel exercises—which "involve tightening and then releasing the muscles in your pelvic floor to strengthen them"—to reinforce a weak pelvic floor.
“The pelvic floor is connected to the lower back, and each of the bones are connected together by a series of ligaments and tissue,” Yves-Richard Dole, MD, an ob/gyn with Metropolitan OB/GYN, an affiliate of The Family Childbirth and Children's Center at Mercy, told Women's Health.
“If there is a lack of stability” in the pelvic floor, Dole said, “it can lead to further injury.”
The Quran - Chapter Ar-Rahman : 48 - 51
˹Both will be˺ with lush branches.
Then which of your Lord’s favours will you both deny?
In each ˹Garden˺ will be two flowing springs.
Then which of your Lord’s favours will you both deny?
