The Mahomes household has been transformed into a center for physical rehabilitation this offseason as both Patrick and Brittany Mahomes work to overcome significant orthopedic setbacks.
For Patrick, the focus is entirely on the left knee he injured during a Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The hit resulted in torn ACL and LCL ligaments, a double blow that not only sidelined the three-time Super Bowl MVP but also coincided with the end of the Chiefs‘ historic 10-year playoff streak.
While the quarterback’s recovery is currently the primary storyline in Kansas City, his wife Brittany has been quietly battling her own “long road to recovery” that predates his injury.
In March 2024, she revealed that she had suffered a fractured back, a condition she linked to pelvic floor issues following her pregnancies.
Speaking on the Whoop podcast, the mother of three detailed a difficult period where she initially attempted to maintain her pre-pregnancy training intensity, only to have her body “give out.”
Her subsequent path back to health required a disciplined combination of pelvic floor therapy, chiropractic care, and frequent X-rays to monitor her spinal stability.
Brittany celebrates pain-free milestone
The intensity of the couple’s shared commitment to physical health was highlighted this week when Brittany shared a significant personal victory on social media.
In an Instagram Story that initially appeared “risky” to those familiar with her history of spinal fractures, she was seen performing deadlifts with a barbell loaded to approximately 70 pounds.
The update served as a definitive sign that she has moved past the intensive rehab phase and returned to her regular gym routine. Reflecting on the years of limitation, she emotionally noted, “Never thought I would see the day of doing (kinda heavy) deadlifts again with no back pain man they felt good.”
Her recovery has become a source of mutual support within the home as Patrick begins the most demanding phase of his own 2026 preparation.
The quarterback is currently spending up to seven hours a day at the Chiefs’ training facility, working under the guidance of Vice President of Sports Medicine Rick Burkholder and physical therapist Julie Frymyer.
