Pregnancy can wreck a woman's body alignment. Postural collapse, abdominal compression,

pelvic tilt and gaining postural pounds are anatomical changes that happen naturally as the body

shifts its center of gravity with enlarging breasts and a growing fetus.

Minimizing anatomical changes during pregnancy lessens discomfort, joint pain, weight gain

and systemic problems. Improving alignment in the critical six weeks after delivery

will quickly get you back to your pre-pregnancy shape.

Proper spinal and pelvic development, organ placement and systemic function will depend

on how an infant is handled from the day it is born. Healthy infant handling forms an erect spine,

develops a stable, skeletal structure, encourages proper muscles development

and aids in respiration to prevent harmful oxygen desaturation.
