As space is created during birth, the body’s tendency is to fill it. This creates havoc within the abdominal cavity. With the traditional art of belly binding, we can prevent excess air & water from accumulating. Binding provides postural support, reduces inflammation, relieves water retention, improves circulation, stabilizes loose ligaments, compresses the uterus aiding in rapid involution, and supports the return of displaced internal organs. Belly binding holds the mothers empty womb space providing comfort from the doughy and loose feeling.
