Labor Prep Bodywork - Late Pregnancy

Prenatal bodywork is a transformative approach to supporting your body as it prepares for labor and delivery. This specialized care focuses on releasing tension and restrictions in the soft tissues of the pelvis, uterus, and surrounding areas. By addressing these critical regions, bodywork helps to enhance mobility, balance, and alignment, creating an optimal environment for your baby and promoting a smoother birthing process.

A Labor Prep Session is ideal for those who...

  • Have been experiencing prodromal labor for days or weeks.
  • Are 40 weeks pregnant or more.
  • Are facing a labor induction.

How can bodywork benefit you for labor?

  • Relieve tension and discomfort: Pregnancy often brings physical changes that can lead to tightness in the hips, back, and pelvic region. Gentle bodywork helps reduce these discomforts, improving your overall sense of well-being.
  • Promote pelvic alignment: Balanced pelvic soft tissues ensure your baby can move into the most favorable position for birth. This may contribute to a more efficient and less painful labor experience.
  • Support uterine function: Releasing tension in the uterine ligaments can encourage better positioning and reduce potential complications during delivery.
  • Encourage relaxation: Prenatal bodywork helps reduce stress and fosters a deep sense of calm, which is beneficial for both you and your baby as you approach labor.

Follow-Up Activities to Prepare for Birth

After your bodywork session, you'll receive tailored follow-up activities designed to complement the release and alignment work. These may include gentle stretches, exercises, and mindfulness practices to sustain the benefits of the session and further prepare your body for labor. By integrating these tools into your daily routine, you'll strengthen your connection to your body and feel empowered as you await your baby's arrival.
