Pregnancy Balancing

This session is about adding balance to your body and easing out any aches, niggles or pain you may be suffering from. The aim is to find out what’s causing your pain and being able to ease it.

Whether you are suffering from a mild back ache, tight calfs, SPD or PGP, pain in the ribs or hips, this session is for you.

We know that babies in the womb will move away from any restrictions in their bid to find space to grow, so it’s important that we offer them as much space as possible by easing out any areas of tight tissue. Babies need space to find the optimal position and giving them space to make their rotations into the birth canal will assist them in their journey. We know ‘head down’ isn’t enough as their head could be off to one side or slipped forward of the pubic bone.

I will base the treatment on what’s going on with you so listening, then assessing you through posture and movement. I will work depending on what I find but it will be a mixture of massage, myofascial techniques, trigger point therapy, stretching, ball work and usually some homework!

Areas of restriction could involve:

• Pelvic floor
• Ribs
• Hips
• Uterine ligaments
• Glutes
• Legs

This session is important to have during your pregnancy if you are having any discomfort but especially important from 30 weeks onwards when making sure the baby has space to find an optimal position is important. 

I would suggest having a 90 minute session if you’re not sure, as this gives me plenty of time to assess you, treat you and run through stretches or movement to do at home.
