Did you know we’re accessible by ferry?

Nurse Jackie uses the new Rockaway Ferry to commute back and forth to the Birthing Center of NY.

“I am a lifelong New Yorker, a nurse for over 46 years, and most recently, a convert to the city’s ferry service. As a Rockaway Park resident, I know firsthand how getting to and from the Rockaways can be long, convoluted and even frustrating, especially if you’re moving between the boroughs or heading into Manhattan. For many, the peninsula can seem like a transportation desert.”

Pre/Post Natal Stretching

Posted on by


If you have a family member or friend that’s expecting be sure to pass along this very valuable information regarding pre/post-natal stretching

Stretching for expectant mothers
What’s an expectant mom to do when she feels pain, soreness, stress and can’t sleep? Read on and find out……………

As an expectant mother your body will be going through many changes. Some expected, some unexpected. One of the many changes you may experience is muscle stiffness, soreness, mobility difficulties (moving about) and a decrease in flexibility. These changes are mainly felt in the lower back, groin, feet, calves and general pelvic area. At times a general feeling of overall body stiffness may be felt as well. So, what’s the solution? Well clearly you do not want to do anything harmful to the mom or baby. If you’ve searched for alternate relief you may have tried massages, acupuncture, chiropractors, yoga, etc. If you’ve felt little to no relief perhaps give stretching a try!

Why Stretching?
Stretching is a non-invasive, non-medicated solution that has helped many pre/post-natal women. All the benefits without the medication!

Our Stretching Programs Can Help:
