Belly binding can be done postpartum as soon as 24 hours after your birth and continued through your 40 day healing (cuarentena).
Benefits of binding include:
- Keeping warmth within the body and womb
- Allowing internal organs to rest and restore
- Giving the internal organs the space to migrate back to their pre-pregnancy locations
- Assisting with correcting of diastasis recti (separation of the abdominal muscles)
- And more…
Abdominal body work is provided prior to binding to relax surrounding muscles, and help alleviate constipation and gas. Binding can be beneficial for both vaginal and cesarean births. Bind included.
