1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Dr Alessandra Demarte, principal chiropractor at Heart &amp;amp; Soul Chiropractic in Mandurah, talks with Dianne about pregnancy and postnatal chiropractic care. &amp;nbsp; Dr Alla has a special interest and training in pregnancy and paediatrics, and explains how chiropractic care can support women throughout pregnancy as their body changes, with gentle techniques that are modified for each trimester. &amp;nbsp; Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help to keep the spine and pelvic moving well, reduce stress on ligaments, and support the nervous system. Dr Alla explains about the nervous system, how nerve pathways influence the uterus and cervix during labour, and how working on the spine and pelvic balance may assist with birth preparation. &amp;nbsp; Postnatally, as mums return to fitness, Dr Alla recommends getting support for any pelvic joint pain, or upper back tension, and rebuilding deep core and pelvic stability steadily. &amp;nbsp; For further information on the podcasts mentioned in our conversation: Podcast 61 - Pregnancy abdominal bracing Podcast 59 - How is your pelvis levelling?&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; To find out more about Heart &amp;amp; Soul Chiropractic or to contact Dr Alessandra Demarte,&amp;nbsp; visit the website at&amp;nbsp;www.heartandsoulchiropracticmandurah.com.au Or follow on Instagram @heartandsoulchiromandurah and Facebook - Heart &amp;amp; Soul Chiropractic Mandurah &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; For more information visit www.thepregnancycentre.com.au &amp;nbsp; Running to the Core Podcast http://www.thepregnancycentre.com.au/about-us <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/39032735/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/195523645
