As the foetus grows the pelvis and spine are particularly vulnerable. The pelvis becomes softer in preparation for birth and can cause stress on the lower back and pelvis.

The birth process itself can cause lower back and pelvic pain. Post natally whilst the mother is nursing, feeding and caring for the baby this can also put additional strain on the lower back. Almost all the Bowen work can be performed on an expectant mum up until labour begins. Directly after birth there are certain moves that can help the body become calm and help the body to return to it’s pre pregnancy state.
