Pelvic Alignment & Foetal Positioning
Pelvic Alignment sessions are a functional form of bodywork that restore balance and mobility to the body in pregnancy, postpartum and all life stages.
As a Spinning Babies® Aware Practitioner, I can support mothers seeking a gentle approach to encourage their baby into a more optimal position for birth. This is especially helpful when babies are in a transverse, posterior or breech presentation, and for mothers experiencing pain and discomfort in the ribs, hips and pelvis.
In postpartum, pelvic alignment can also reduce hip pain and restore balance to the pelvis after birth.
Pelvic Alignment sessions are offered in my Yorkeys Knob practice, and my monthly pop-up clinics in Mission Beach.
Pelvic Alignment
The Pelvic Alignment session is a 90-minute bodywork appointment involving a series of supported positions and passive stretches designed to restore balance to the pelvis.
The session is personalised to your needs, whether supporting foetal positioning in pregnancy, or restoring pelvic alignment after birth.
Drawing on Optimal Maternal Positioning and Spinning Babies® techniques, the session is nurturing, relaxing and rejuvenating.
You will also leave with exercises and techniques to use at home for continued support and maintenance, whether preparing for birth or recovering in postpartum.
Pelvic Alignment sessions are suitable for women with:
- breech, transverse or posterior positioned baby
- sacrum pain and lower back aches
- pubic or lower abdominal discomfort
- pain and discomfort in the ribs
- a desire to increase the likelihood of a more comfortable and shorter labour
- postpartum hip instability and pelvic pain
- pelvic misalignment or hip pain in any stage of life
