Biomechanics for birth
Discover how biomechanics can help you create space and alignment in your body, encouraging your baby into a better position and supporting a smoother, more efficient birth. If you’ve been told your baby is breech or in a non-optimal position, or if you want to prepare your body for labor, a biomechanics session can provide you with practical, hands-on techniques to empower your birthing journey.
What is Biomechanics?
Biomechanics is the science of movement and alignment, focusing on optimizing how your pelvis, muscles, and soft tissues work together during pregnancy and labor. By addressing areas of tightness, imbalance, or restriction, biomechanics helps your baby find their ideal position, reduces tension in your body, and improves how labor progresses.
Why Use Biomechanics?
-
Encourage Baby’s Positioning: Help your baby move into an ideal position for labor, especially if they are breech or posterior.
-
Support a Smoother Labor: Proper alignment can shorten labor and make contractions more efficient.
-
Lower the Risk of Interventions: Reduce the need for inductions, forceps, vacuum delivery, or cesareans.
-
Relieve Pain Naturally: Movement and positioning techniques can ease back pain, pelvic discomfort, and other pregnancy aches.
-
Feel Confident and Prepared: Learn tools and techniques to actively support your body and baby during labor.
When to Book a Session
-
You might want to book a biomechanics session if:
-
Your baby is in a breech, posterior, or non-optimal position.
-
You want to prepare your body for labor and reduce the chance of complications.
-
You’re experiencing pelvic pain, back pain, or other pregnancy discomforts.

What to expect in a power hour
During your one-hour session, we’ll assess your body’s movement and alignment, pinpoint areas of tension or restriction, and introduce simple, targeted exercises to encourage your baby’s position and improve your comfort.
