Prenatal Bodywork & Breech Releases Bodywork
As a midwife, I have seen time and time again that receiving consistent, ongoing, therapeutic bodywork in pre conception and pregnancy makes for better birth outcomes.
Prenatal bodywork helps regulate the nervous system, improve lymph and cardiovascular circulation, digestive function and decrease stress; all of which in turn is felt by the baby in the womb.
Specific prenatal techniques balance the body, ease aches and pains, help to release musculoskeletal constriction and encourage baby in utero move into optimal fetal position for birth.
Recommended Visits in Pregnancy:
Once a month or more from 13-26 weeks
Every 2 weeks or more 27-36 weeks
Weekly 37-42 weeks
For Breech Babies, I encourage clients to come in as soon as you find out your baby is in breech position!
Helping a baby turn may require a few sessions and some exercises to do at home between sessions. Breech release bodywork is also is very helpful before an external version with your OB.
