It is best to start focusing on bodywork when your body begins to indicate it needs assistance, especially if there's pain or discomfort. Further focus on baby positioning can begin around 34 weeks.
E103: Bodywork - The Ultimate Labour Hack With Gab Lorri
Q: Why is tension and softening so relevant for the way that a labour can progress and a baby can descend?
Tension in the body can make it harder for the baby to descend during labour, leading to a longer and more painful experience. Softening the tissues allows easier movement, reducing intensity and duration of contractions.
