PELVIC CORRECTION CONCERNING PREGNANCY
In the round, correcting the pelvis during the
period of pregnancy is encouraged. The safest time to administer the Pelvic Correction Techniques, are
during the second trimester. Other
safe times are during the first and the third trimesters, but executed with
slightly less intensity. The
importance here is that common sense should prevail when pelvic correcting
during these periods by administering the techniques less vigorously, that is,
at the first and the third trimesters.
Your infant [foetus] will enjoy its development
inside its placenta when the womb is upright and level (vertical and
horizontal); only possible with an aligned pelvis.
A pelvis that is in-kilter, engenders good
fluid, blood and ÔchiÕ movement within the whole abdominal cavity with its
visceral components, and also beyond those structures, rendering not only
proper growth for the infant, but better health for the bearer, the mother.
It is regrettable that as yet, a
dysfunctional pelvis and therefore spine, is not sufficiently recognised as
contributing to a multitude of pathological disorders, physical and
psychological a woman may experience before during and after pregnancy.
The kinds of disorders engendered by pelvic
dysfunction are: 1. Visceral Organ Prolepses. 2. Inguinal and Femoral Hernias.
3. Deficient absorption of nutrients via intestines. 4. Bladder and Bowel
weakness and more............
In time perhaps, it will be a matter of
routine to re-align the pelvises of pregnant mothers.
SEE TESTIMONY BELOW:
When I found out that I was pregnant, I was over the moonÉ the pregnancy went by smoothly with minor routine complaintsÉ. I was mentally preparing myself for the big dayÉ. on the onset of labour, I told myself that I can handle thisÉ.Only to find out that I was utterly wrongÉ. My labour lasted for nearly 48 hoursÉ. And after 18 epidural top ups I was taken to the operation theatre. I was told by the SHO that he was going to try a Ventouse to deliver my baby or forceps and failing which a Caesarean Section was my last choice. As if this wasnÕt enough my babyÕs heartbeat dropped three times. A sample of blood was taken from his head to find out whether he had enough oxygen to go through a vaginal birth!!!
Needless to say that the Ventouse extraction failed and my baby boy was pulled out of me using forceps!!! The pain I felt was excruciating!!! To top it all my baby boy who was covered with blood did not cry and was therefore given oxygen. When he first cried he wailed with painÉ and the forceps had left big bruises on his faceÉ I was left behind to be cleaned and sewn up (by the way I had an episiotomy and quite a few stitches) while my husband took my little baby to the Neo-natal ward where he had to be given some antibiotic injections as my waters had broken quite earlier on to protect him from any infection.
Anyway, once I was home, everything was okayÉ. Suddenly on the 10th day I was squatting in order to change my sons nappy and I felt a sharp pain in my pubic boneÉ soon the pain started getting worseÉÉ.. I was told by my midwives that there might be an infection so I was given a course of antibioticsÉ..which did not helpÉ I was told by women in the family that things like these happen in the course of a normal delivery and that things will get betterÉ I then started hoping and praying for this pain to go awayÉ I couldnÕt even pass water without pain!!! I couldnÕt sit for long to breastfeed my sonÉ therefore the most enjoyable moments of my life became the most painful ones. The pain which I can never forgetÉ two months passed by and I was running out of patienceÉ I found myself permanently complaining to my friends and family about this painÉ hoping against hope that someone will find a cure for thisÉ
After two months I saw my consultantÉ he did a Pelvimetry and gave me some heavy painkillers, which gave me awful heartburnsÉÉ according to him I had a torn ligament and I was told that it would heal by itselfÉ I was told that I have a narrow pelvis and that I am not fit for a normal deliveryÉ (such a shame, they could not find this out beforehand) Anyway, the never went and I still suffered in silenceÉOne day while I was surfing the net in order to find out some complimentary therapies (which were now my only hope), I found out Mr. Alexander BarrieÕs websiteÉ
I soon made an appointment to see himÉ.. Once more friends and family warned me saying that things could get worse!!! But I had made up my mind, I wanted a cure for this condition. The first time I saw Mr. Barrie, he told me in a few minutes that I had a misaligned pelvis !!!! He put the pelvis in place and when I was out of the clinic I was pain free!!!! I couldnÕt believe this had actually happenedÉI did my pelvic floor exercises on the way home to check whether I was actually just imagining that I was pain free... I was overjoyed. It felt as if I was given one more chance to lead a normal lifeÉ.. But after a week I was in pain againÉÉ I went to see Mr. Barrie and he said to me that the pelvis is misaligned once moreÉ He also showed me some exercises to do on a regular basis in order to keep my pelvis alignedÉ..
One very important thing is that misalignment of the pelvis is very common, but mine wasnÕt treated for two years and therefore it was quite weakÉ..It was during this time that I had a miscarriage as a result of a misaligned pelvisÉ. slowly and gradually I started doing my exercisesÉ.by the grace of God I fell pregnant again in a few months. I kept doing my pelvic correction exercises regularlyÉ. I still do my exercises religiously three times a dayÉÉ but now I can say that I am pain freeÉ now even if I experience a peculiar back pain or even sciatica I know that my pelvis needs straightening and I do my exercises straight awayÉ.
I would like to thank Mr. Barrie a millions. If I hadnÕt seen him I wouldnÕt be leading a normal life. He truly has been a God sent angel for meÉ I wish him all the best for his future and I am sure many women suffering out there in silence have now got an answer for their prayers.
