Relax(in)?

This name sounds like a miracle supplement sold in a telesales advertisement with the aim of relaxing body and mind. It's not that far from the truth, but the name can be different, and it doesn't guarantee miracles either...


Relaxin is a hormone that plays an important role during reproduction and pregnancy.It is especially useful in preparing for childbirth by relaxing the muscles and ligaments in the pelvic area.

Some studies have been carried out to verify its effect in other areas of the body, as effects have been noted in terms of frozen shoulder situations and in the release of restrictions in connective tissues of some internal organs (such as kidneys, heart or liver) .It can also be associated with situations of back pain in pregnant women, since by releasing tension in the ligaments in the pelvic area, it can also cause instability and pain in the spine.

Outside the physical sphere, there are still suspicions about the impact on mood and emotions.


If you have muscle pain, we are not advising you to get pregnant. On the one hand it can solve a problem and create others...

But if you are already pregnant and still in pain, we have a suggestion....


To alleviate discomfort or balance these changes, Bowen therapy can help. Although it does not produce or reduce hormones, it can be useful in rebalancing the body as a complement.


Feel better with this gentle, non-invasive therapy.
