Gentle Rolfing can be beneficial for pregnant individuals experiencing postural strain, as illustrated by my client in this image. During pregnancy, the body produces the hormone relaxin, which increases ligament and tendon laxity, leading to decreased joint stability and a higher risk of overstretching or injury. As pregnancy advances and structural changes intensify, Rolfing can support the body in adapting to new patterns, promoting increased comfort and functional movement. Sessions are conducted in a side-lying position with appropriate pillow support.
