Pregnancy care
Movement guidance
Plain guidance on how to sit, sleep, lift and carry as your body changes.
For people who want something to do between visits, or who prefer guidance to hands-on care. It is taught in the room and you take it home.
What to expect
What a visit includes
A short walk through the movements, with a pillow, a chair and, if you like, an exercise ball.
Sitting and standing at a desk or counter
Getting in and out of bed and the car
Lifting and carrying, including a child
Short movements you can do at home
How long and how often
A few minutes at the end of a visit, or a visit on its own. We change what we teach as your pregnancy changes. We do not promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
We do not claim that movement guidance prevents or relieves anything, or that it changes how a pregnancy or birth goes. It is guidance, and your midwife or OB may guide you differently.
When to see your midwife or physician first
Ask your midwife or OB before you start any new movement, and call them first about bleeding, leaking fluid, regular tightening or fewer baby movements than usual.
At the counter, with an itemized receipt. Some plans pay part of it; the plan decides.
Questions about this care
Do I need to be flexible?
No. The guidance is about small, ordinary movements, and Dr. Das changes them to fit you.
Can I do this without an adjustment?
Yes. A visit can be only a talk and guidance. You choose each part.
How many visits will I need?
Dr. Das sets a plan with you after the first exam and changes it as your pregnancy changes. We do not promise a number of visits, and you can stop at any time.
Book a movement visit
We will teach it in the room.
