1 Hr 30 Mins Group Belly Binding Class

Service Description

This 90 mins class for postnatal women & your accompanying support person (your husband, your mother, or your Doula) teaches you how to do Traditional Belly Binding. Price includes binding hire for 30 days. What do I need to do? This class is for postnatal women of all cultures who have a baby under 7-12 months old or who are still breastfeeding. The optimal time-frame for belly binding is 4 weeks to 3 months postnatal. Undertaking belly binding within the first few months after birth is likely to see better results than several months down the track when your elastin has almost fully reverted to collagen, but if you are breastfeeding, you will still be producing relaxin. Remember, elastin is pliable like elastic, and collagen is hard like cement. Once your body returns to collagen, you'll have to wait until after a subsequent pregnancy to fix Diastasis Recti tummy separation. Bring a support person to learn how to bind you daily at home for the duration of five days. Babies and children are welcome. This 75 mins session includes : Learn how to check the width of your Diastasis Recti (DR) muscles Before photos (optional) Invitation for your daily support person to learn how to perform binding Phone follow-up every 5-7 days to ascertain progress When can I fix my tummy muscle separation? There is a window of opportunity for Belly Binding within the first several months before your body’s elastin returns to collagen Benefits – Helps postural awareness which can become lax whilst breastfeeding. The bind acts like a brace around the tummy whilst still allowing you to breath inside this container. This container like effect also stops your energy from seeping; it is comforting and makes you feel ‘safe’. Encourages uterus recovery by supporting it to rise back up to its former pre-pregnancy condition and position. Following childbirth, the womb takes about six weeks to return back to its usual size. Remember, the uterus increases 500 times in volume and five times in size during pregnancy. Even without a baby inside it is 15 times heavier! Strong downward pressure on the lower abdomen can cause the womb to prolapse. Wearing belly binding correctly can prevent uterine prolapse. Wearing it incorrectly, i.e., starting at the tummy rather than the hips, can cause prolapse of the uterus. Did I mention, my teacher from Hong Kong, charges $750 per woman to belly bind for 1 hr. She does this daily for five days. That's $3,750 per woman.
