1.6 OMP Abdominal Sifting | AS
In this video our beautiful pregnant model demonstrates Abdominal Sifting |AS.
Abdominal Sifting | AS is one of the many rebozo techniques originating from the midwives in Mexico.
AS is a part of OMP Pelvic Alignment Protocols to be used during pregnancy when the mother can feel the growing weight of her pregnant belly, and when needed during labor and birth. AS is meant to encourage dynamic equilibrium within the mother's 'hot-air balloon'.
A few guidelines can be helpful with AS:
Contraindications: Please follow the "no pain" rule where if you are experiencing any pain, please stop and consult with a health care professional or an alternative healthcare therapist.
If she has a pendulous belly or are expecting twins or more, using a rebozo/scarf or belly belt to support her belly can be helpful for her.
Always start with 3-5 breaths and slowly work her way up to holding the positions for at least 3-5minutes to achieve a fascia release.
