What is Pelvic closing?

Pelvic closing is a traditional practice using the rebozo, a Mexican cotton cloth, to help the body recover and regain its balance after childbirth.

The rebozo is a traditional, usually hand-woven cloth originating from Mexico, which has been used for generations to support pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. Thanks to its unique weave, it allows for gentle techniques of support, rocking and wrapping that support and relax the body.

The Rezobo technique supports the joints, back and pelvis while symbolising the end of pregnancy and the transition into motherhood with its energetic accompaniment.

The targeted enveloping of the body creates a sense of stability, security, and unity. The treatment can strengthen body awareness after pregnancy and childbirth, promoting awareness of one’s centre. In many traditional approaches, this ritual is seen as a way of consciously bringing the phase of physical opening during pregnancy and childbirth to a close.
