Pregnant Women
Body Stress Release plays an important role in preparing the body for the birth.
BODY STRESS RELEASE AND PREGNANT WOMEN
Body Stress Release is passive and safe and can be applied throughout pregnancy. Many women who have come to Kathy for BSR, have previously struggled with fertility issues.
Towards the end of their pregnancy, clients delight in lying on their tummies on the BSR bed, with cushions strategically placed above and below the ‘bulge’. With this support the pressure is taken off the abdomen.
“As pregnancy advances, there is increasing tension in the lower back, which is usually also referred upwards to the shoulder blade area or the neck.
Besides relieving these aches and pains, BSR plays an important role in helping the body prepare itself for birth. By miminising the compression in the lumbar spine, there is improved communication in the whole pelvic region.
Many women experience difficult births while they have back problems. After undergoing BSR care during the subsequent pregnancy, they have found the birth process much easier” ~ Gail Meggersee
Note: It is always a delight to meet the newborn when the mother brings them to us for their first BSR session, sometimes only a few days old!
I wanted my body to feel prepared for a calm, natural birth and Body Stress Release was the ideal fit for getting my body (and mind) into the right space, releasing unnecessary tension and anxiety. I’ve been going to Kathy for Body Stress Release for the last 10 years, and always feel such an improvement after our sessions. She was an integral part of my birth plan and I highly recommend pregnant mamas to go for BSR to feel more stress free for their births
