Aquatic Bodywork during Pregnancy and Postpartum
The amazing process of pregnancy brings many different changes to the body.
Hormones, bones move, body alignment, swelling, and so much more.
Having an aquatic bodywork session in hot water is not only one of the only things allowed while pregnant, it’s actually HIGHLY recommended.*
Unlike traditional chiropractic, physical therapy, or massage, Aquatic bodywork is being held in 95 degree water.
Due to the weightless property of the water, we can move and stretch your body in ways possible only in the water…
Here’s a partial list of benefits:
