-Improves pelvic alignment, addressing sciatica and hip pain.
-Improves sacrum mobility and alignment to facilitate an efficient birth.
CIRCULATORY
-Improves blood flow through the body, and to the baby!
-Improves blood flow to pelvic floor muscles.
-Improves lymphatic circulation and decreases incidence of edema (swelling).
RESPIRATORY
-Releases tension in ribcage and diaphragm, making it easier to breathe more deeply.
-Adresses rib pain.
​
NERVOUS
