[ How does the Webster Technique Work for Pregnancy? | How Webster Prevents a Breech Pregnancy?

[ 00:00 ] What is the Webster Technique - performed by Chiropractors to help prepare a woman's pregnant body for labor + delivery; it can also help with pelvic positioning to help avoid a breech baby.
[ 00:14 ] Initial assessment - checking for body tension
[ 00:35 ] What is an adjustment
[ 00:45 ] The Drop Piece adjustment
[ 01:08 ] More about the Webster Technique - aims to restore the proper alignment of the pelvis and sacrum to ensure optimal baby positioning for a smoother and easier delivery
[ 01:15 ] Chiropractic adjustments + movement decrease labor + delivery time by 25% [ more than 25% with subsequent deliveries ] - because pelvic alignment is so important for labor + delivery
[ 01:50 ] Webster Technique is safe for both mama + baby; been shown to decrease the likelihood of breech and posterior positions during labor - which is why you'll hear this technique associated with flipping a breech baby
[ 02:10 ] The Webster Technique does not involve any maneuvers that are internal or invasive - all the work is done on the outside working on the muscles, ligament, joints - working on better mobility and alignment
[ 02:27 ] The Sacrotuberous Ligament - lengthens from the "sits" bone to the tailbone - an important area for labor and delivery because of the attachment to the tailbone [ because the tailbone can help dictate baby's movement down into the canal, which further encourages engagement with labor ]
[ 03:00 ] With the Webster Technique we work on ONE side when it comes to adjusting the sacrum on the patient's back side; we then work on the opposite side Sacrotuberous Ligament - then on the front side, we work on the Round Ligament, Pubic Symphysis and Iliopsoas
[ 04:00 ] The Webster Technique can also alleviate pain related to pregnancy - such as low back pain, pubic symphysis pain, tailbone pain, round ligament pain, sciatica pain and more.
[ 04:20 ] Not just being certified in the Webster Technique is enough - it's important to seek out a chiropractor who is practicing this technique regularly - who is very knowledgeable with a pregnant woman's body
[ 05:00 ] Side body adjustment for mobilization / movement of the sacrum [ much like you saw earlier with the drop piece - this is just a different way of getting a similar outcome ]
[ 06:00 ] Iliopsoas muscle lengthening [ while the patient is on her side ] - also helping the low back and SI joint
[ 06:59 ] Iliopsoas muscle lengthening while patient is on the wedge [ similar to the previous part of the video with the patient on her side ]
[ 07:10 ] Round ligament relaxation while patient is on her side
[ 07:45 ] Round ligament relaxation while the patient is on the wedge [ similar to the previous part of the video with the patient on her side ]
[ 08:13 ] Adjusting the pubic symphysis - manually with the doctor's hands or with a gentle tool called the Activator
