Who benefits?
Babies and

Kids are active, continuously moving, growing, and testing their body’s boundaries. It is important to make sure their busy bodies are growing in the correct alignment and that their nervous system is functioning optimally.

Pregnancy causes a wide variety of changes in your body. As your pregnancy progresses you may start to feel aches and pains in your lower back, pelvis, neck and shoulders.
