1:1 Postural Assessment & Body Balancing
Balance your unique body for a more comfortable pregnancy & easier birth with the Body Ready Method®
Experience a more comfortable pregnancy, and help yourself to have an easier, more empowered birth
Optimal body preparation for birth with Body Ready Method® to balance, align, mobilise and strengthen your unique body - this fully individualised support is the best you can get!
The pelvis gets a lot of attention when it comes to birth, but the reality is our whole body impacts birth. Posture, body alignment and daily movement patterns affect comfort in pregnancy, baby's position, and the ease with which baby can navigate their way through your pelvis. This can be referred to as pregnancy and birth biomechanics
The great news is that there is a lot you can do to impact your body balance for birth. Adding intentional, targeted movement and exercise to your pregnancy routine will really stack to the odds in your favour for the birth you want.
Small things can make a big a difference when you have the right support!
Many things in life can affect our body, and our pelvic balance.
Can you relate to any of these?
-
Poor posture/leg crossing habit
-
Desk based job/lots of sitting/driving
-
past injuries anywhere in your body
-
Stress - which is often carried in the body
-
carrying a toddler on your hip
-
Had a previous birth that was slow or particularly difficult/painful
-
Had a labour where you stopped dilating or ended up with a Caesarean due to slow progress
All of these things can throw off your pelvic balance and alignment, which can then affect baby's ability to position well, and move easily through the pelvis to birth - Birth Biomechanics can benefit EVERYONE!
It is very important to know that there is no judgment or blame with any of these factors, just the power to know there is so much you can do to work toward more optimal alignment and balance.

UNDERSTANDING BIRTH BIOMECHANICS
Simply put, biomechanics is the way our bodies move and function.
In birth, it describes the incredible interaction between your body and your baby’s body as your baby prepares for birth and navigates their journey into the world.
Both bodies are beautifully designed for this process. During pregnancy, your pelvis adapts to create more space and mobility, while your baby’s skull is designed to mould and move through the pelvis. However, modern lifestyles, with less movement, prolonged sitting, and increased stress, can affect how well our bodies are able to use these natural adaptations.
Birth biomechanics looks at how posture, alignment, movement, and balance within the body can influence pregnancy comfort, baby's position, and how easily baby can navigate through the pelvis.
Using specific positions, movements, and techniques, we can encourage optimal positioning before and during labour, support your body’s natural physiology, and help create the best possible conditions for birth to unfold more easily.
Understanding biomechanics can also help identify clues when labour isn’t progressing as expected and provide tools to help optimise comfort, positioning, and birth progress.
Although many of these techniques were once common knowledge, birth biomechanics is not always routinely taught or understood within maternity care. Learning these skills empowers you with practical tools to prepare your body during pregnancy and feel more confident during your labour..
While knowing what to do during labour is valuable, I believe what can really make the difference is preparing your body throughout pregnancy -creating balance, mobility, and strength in your body before your baby arrives.
This is what I am here to help you with.
