Why does your body shape change after childbirth?
When the pelvic joint remains open, the muscles in the area may not function normally.
Your basic metabolism goes down and extra fat easily accumulates around your lower torso.
If you are trying to lose the baby weight, returning the pelvis to its normal condition first
can help increase your basic metabolism.
Why does the pelvis become distorted after childbirth?
At birth, the hormone relaxin allows the pelvic joint to open easily and lets the baby's head,
which is about 10 cm in diameter, to pass through.
If the pelvic joint remains open...
…disappearing waistline / difficulty fitting into pre-pregnancy jeans / bigger &
sagging buttocks / difficulty returning to your pre-pregnancy weight / urine leakage

How soon can I start pelvic correction after giving birth? Does it hurt?
You can start treatment 6 weeks after vaginal birth and about 2-3 months after c-section, depending on your condition. We use the gentle ‘Sacrum Occipital Technique’, so no, it won’t hurt.
It’s been over a year since I had my baby. Can I still undergo pelvic correction?
Yes, you can. We’ve had clients as late as 2 years after childbirth, who reported good effects of treatment. Best, though, to start treatment within 3 to 6 months after birth, as the pelvic joint is still pliable and easy to correct.
Can I lose weight by pelvic correction alone?
Returning the pelvic joint to its correct position can help improve your metabolism, making it easier to lose weight, but it does not remove fat by itself.
