The Imbalanced state of the uterus

Does the uterus need to be balanced? What if its natural state is one of imbalance?  Listen in to hear Rachel Shapiro, a fantastic midwife in Isreal, as she shares why the uterus doesn't need to be in a state of balance. But what does this mean for our assessments?  We start this episode reflecting on Rachel's interview last year at the  Birth Healing Summit, where she educated us on the uterosacral ligament. Next, she shares an amazing story of a 4th-degree uterine prolapse and how she treated the uterosacral ligament to heal her client. We then dive into this episode's topic, the uterus's imbalance state.  While the uterus' balanced state is one of imbalance, as it is asymmetrical, it does need to be functional. Does the uterus cause pain, dysfunction, pleasure issues, or a hormonal balance? It could. We never want to try to change the uterus as these imbalances change daily, even from moment to moment, but we want to ensure it can function well with our assessments and treatments.  Check out Rachel’s courses:Course In Seattle in June:   https://www.kellydungan.com/rachel-shapiro-internal Rachel’s online course:   https://www.equilibriobalance.com/internal-pelvic-balance If you enjoyed today's podcast and are interested in more topics to support your clinical practice and treating your clients, find us on your favorite podcast app and subscribe so you don't miss an episode. Visit Institute for Birth Healing to learn more about how to care for the pregnant and postpartum body: CLICK HERE
