Done in our office, a body alignment analysis is helpful in bringing awareness to your compensation patterns, body mechanics, and movement throughout the day by looking at the upper body, core, pelvis, and pelvic floor. The benefit is to catch early signs of body dysfunction or poor movement/compensation patterns in order to correct and be able to carry a pregnancy with proper body function, more strength, and less pain. With a proper balance in pregnancy, there is a direct connection to a comfortable pregnancy, easier birth, reduced risk of tearing during pushing, and easier postpartum recovery. $100 per session (up to 5)
