As women heal from the procedures and or birth, symptoms of back pain, neck pain, digestive issues, and pain along the spine near the epidural site are common. Most women think that they must live with it as many providers have no idea how to help.

BCST and MMT along with pelvic floor exercises can get women feeling stable and strong in their bodies again.
