Discomforts During Pregnancy or Breech Presentation

The Webster Technique

Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, we are always learning. Welcome to our blog on babies and chiropractic, pregnancy and birth, some of this information you may know already but have added some incredibly valuable things you may have never read before.

Pregnancy creates some amazing changes to our body!  One of these important changes is the release of the hormone RELAXIN which along with the growth of the baby contributes to big changes in the shape of our spines. The spine is vital as it houses our nervous system which in turn directs our bodies. Misalignment may cause many uncomfortable symptoms such as headaches, excessive fatigue, nausea, reflux, back pain, neck pain and many others.

Structural alignment may also encourage great positioning for baby and optimal birthing. Breech babies may also benefit from the Webster Technique.

What is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique helps balance the pelvic muscles and ligaments. It can assist with a breech presentation. It should be started as soon as your baby is in the breech position or before 35 weeks for the best results. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJp-Pbf9z5I&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Mums stop at nothing to ensure baby’s health during a pregnancy and after birth this naturally continues!
