PREGNANCY ORTHO-BIONOMY

Promoting Women’s Health and Wellbeing

During pregnancy the body is constantly going through changes. The body is having to rapidly adapt to those changes on a day to day basis. A number of biomechanical and hormonal changes occur that can alter musculoskeletal alignments. A wide variety of musculoskeletal issues can be reported during pregnancy due to altered posture, balance and gait patterns. These physiological changes can impact quality of life by increasing back, hip and pelvic girdle pain. Even though the progression of pregnancy is a normal process, the journey into Motherhood can be supported by Ortho-Bionomy to promote comfort and ease.

Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle pain free modality that focuses on your unique structural needs throughout your pregnancy. You can start from 14 weeks of pregnancy to aid in relaxation and to review your current postural issues. Then as your pregnancy progresses and when postural changes become more apparent you can continue right up until your due date.

There is no better time than now to commence your pregnancy wellness program with the gentle modality of Ortho-Bionomy, that has been shown to promote general well being and may aid in the recovery from:

• Lower back pain
