Abstract:

Pregnant women are a joy to treat. They seem to be tied directly into the primary life force of the universe. Pregnancy is a time of change; anatomically, physically, mentally and emotionally. Part I of this paper will discuss the physiological as well as anatomical changes that occur during pregnancy. Part 2 will discuss diagnosis and use treating the five“ diaphragms of the body (the foot arches, the pelvis, the respiratory diaphragm, Sibson 's fascia covering the thoracic inlet and the tentorium cerebelli) as a model for treatment.
