Pregnancy asks a lot of your body, especially in the pelvic region, the hips, and the abdomen. At Velvet Wrecking Ball Myofascial Release, our childbirth preparation and recovery sessions are designed for expectant and new mothers who want to feel more comfortable as they approach labor and move through the weeks after birth. Shelly is a registered nurse with 26 years of labor and delivery experience, so she understands the physical demands of pregnancy and the recovery that follows.
Why Preparing Your Body Matters
Tight muscles and restricted fascia can make pregnancy more uncomfortable and add strain as your body changes. Tension in the pelvic area can make the later stages of pregnancy harder to manage. Addressing those areas before labor begins can help you approach birth with less discomfort and more ease.
How Myofascial Release Supports Pregnancy
Myofascial release uses gentle, sustained pressure to stretch and release fascia, the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles. During a session, we focus on areas that often feel tight during pregnancy, including the hips, lower back, and pelvic floor region. The goal is more flexibility, less tension, and greater comfort as your body changes. Each session is tailored to your stage of pregnancy and how you feel that day.
Care Before and After Birth
Recovery matters as much as preparation. Postnatal sessions can help ease tension left by pregnancy and delivery, support comfortable movement while you adjust to caring for a newborn, and give you time to rest. We offer care both before and after birth. When you book, please share your due date or delivery date and any medical restrictions your provider has given you.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Your first visit starts with a conversation about your pregnancy or recovery, your comfort, and your goals. Shelly then adjusts pressure and positioning to suit your body that day. Please check with your doctor or midwife before booking so they can confirm that care is right for you. New clients can also request a free telephone consultation before scheduling.
