Preparation for Birth
We have a proven Movement Physio and Wellness 3-Step Method to help get rid of your pregnancy related pain and make you feel confident with preparing for your birth. The 3-Step Method works in three phases: Elongate, Elevate, and Empower.
ELONGATE.
We need to calm down the nervous system in order to reduce your pain and length tissues that are tight. We do this by incorporating breathwork and hands-on manual therapy techniques to get your muscles to relax. (Visits 1-4)
ELEVATE.
Once the tissues are calmed down and your pain is reduced, we will work on the brain to muscle connection and re-educate the muscles to fire the correct way. (Visits 5-8)
EMPOWER.
We work on functional strengthening of the muscles to help keep you strong and prevent this problem from returning again. We make sure you have all the “tools” in your “toolbox” so you feel empowered to take care of your body so you never experience this problem again! (Visits 9-12)
