Closing of the Bones

The birthing pelvis will open for birth and will need to be closed with postpartum. Mobility is one of the vital cornerstones for a successful labor and birth.

This specific therapy helps mothers realign their bones, restore energy, and support the healing process after childbirth. The session includes a series of gentle movements, and a wrapping  that helps to soothe, heal, close and realign the body. With the use of several different modalities, which are specific to the pelvic girdle and associated structures, this treatment will ease your postpartum anatomical changes.

The transition between holding your baby within your body, laboring, birthing, and then becoming a parent is complex. This method of healing allows the birthing person to let go of the pregnancy state and set foot into the present moment of mothering.

Closing of the bones treatment includes:

• Rebozo: the use of a traditional shawl called a “Manta” or a “Rebozo”, to rock and articulate the hips. Finished by tightly wrapping the cloth around the pelvic girdle.

• Rest: a moment to be still and to allow the body to take in the closure and reorganization of bones and organs.

• Manual Birth Healing Techniques: to close the open pattern in the pelvis after birth. Kristina refers to this technique as PhysioPelvic Restoration.

• Manual Postpartum Therapy: working with the visceral tissue to perform a bladder, uterus and associated organ reorganization and lift.

• Connect: reorient with a warm cup of postpartum tea.
