Body balancing is a phrase from the professional field of body work.

“Not too tight, not too loose, not to twisty.” When the uterus, pelvis, muscles and ligaments (all are birth anatomy) are aligned the baby can travel through the pelvis with more ease and less force. The point of body balance isn’t perfection, but rather, function.

Here is a list of activities that ease body function. Additional activities can be added by professionals.

Using these techniques can do a lot for most people. Habits and gravity will pull the tensions and twists back so repetition in pregnancy is more beneficial than a wait-and-see approach. Use a variety of body balancing activities regularly to add range of motion and suppleness in all the areas around the pelvis and uterus.
