“Since carrying my daughter for 9 months I can now really appreciate the pains in the body that can present during pregnancy. Being able to have treatment on the muscles that are being pulled tight as the baby moves and grows is really important and helpful. I definitely would have been a lot grumpier throughout my pregnancy without regular sessions!”
