Brittany Mahomes Opens Up About Her Recovery After a Back Injury: Feeling Stronger Each Week
Brittany Mahomes Makes Remarkable Recovery from Back Injury
Brittany Mahomes is showing significant progress in her recovery journey following a serious back injury sustained over a year ago. On December 5, her trainer Kirsty Rae shared a video on Instagram showcasing Mahomes, 30, performing squats and lifting weights in the gym, highlighting her ongoing rehabilitation.
“Almost a year and a half, rehabbing a broken back meant severe pain and limited movement,” Rae noted in her post. “Now, almost a year postpartum and progressively getting stronger every week." She added, “Proof that the body is capable of incredible things when you meet it with patience and intentional training. So proud of you @brittanylynne 🤍.”
Mahomes reshared the video with her followers, reflecting her journey back to fitness. In March 2024, she had previously revealed the circumstances surrounding her injury, which occurred shortly after she and her husband, Patrick Mahomes, welcomed their daughter Sterling, 4, and son Bronze, 3. The couple expanded their family with daughter Golden in January 2025.
“Just a daily reminder. Once you have kids please take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously,” she advised on Instagram, adding, “From: A girl with a fractured back.”
In May 2024, Mahomes reported that she was fully recovered. “I’m doing great,” she informed E! News. “I’m living my best life. My back is no longer broken, so that’s good.” She emphasized her commitment to maintaining an active lifestyle for the sake of her children and pets.
Since her recovery, Brittany has been dedicated to her fitness regimen. Recently, she included her eldest children in a Christmas Eve gym session, sharing a video of them trying to keep up with her on the treadmill. Although the toddlers momentarily stumbled, they appeared unharmed as they lay on a mat during her leg lifts and core exercises.
Brittany’s journey to wellness comes amid challenges faced by her husband, Patrick Mahomes, who is also recovering from a season-ending ACL injury sustained during a game against the Los Angeles Chargers last month. After the Chiefs’ playoff elimination, he expressed his struggles on X, stating, “Don’t know why this had to happen. And not going to lie it’s [sic] hurts. But all we can do now is trust in God and attack every single day over and over again.”
Patrick successfully underwent surgery the following week, joining Brittany in navigating their respective recovery processes.
