BALANCING BIRTH
This unique course teaches advanced techniques to help balance the muscles, ligaments, and fascia during birth, and does not speak to positional changes. You’ll look at where the baby sits in 3 bony pelvic levels and 5 soft tissue pelvic levels, and how the baby is touching tissues at each level.
You’ll learn hands-on techniques to balance muscles, ligaments, and fascia in order to make more space for the baby through the birth-giver’s body, which will help decrease interventions, aid in birth progress, and ease the birth-giver’s experience.
Birthworkers will become bodyworkers, as you learn the wisdom of touch together with the most up-to-date insights into the physiology of birth.
