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.

Use a variety of body balancing activities regularly to add range of motion and suppleness in all the areas around the pelvis and uterus.
