Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
The mother is adjusted in a specific manner while also receiving a massage around the targeted ligaments to relieve muscle tension and any misalignments in the pelvis.
What exactly does the Webster Technique do?
The goal of these adjustments are to reduce the effects of sacral misalignments or SI joint dysfunction, while also balancing pelvic muscles and ligaments.
Can the Webster Technique work to turn a breech baby?
This technique helps to create space around the uterus giving the baby ample room to turn and optimizes the opportunity to get in the proper position for birth. This technique has proven it facilitates the correct environment to allow the birthing process to proceed as it naturally was created to.
Why would a pregnant mom choose the Webster Technique?
Because it’s an all-natural, safe technique that helps relieve all joint pain related to pregnancy including pain in the lower back, buttocks, and legs. It works to reduce the time for labor and delivery, as well as C-sections, while minimizing pain during labor and delivery. Also, it promotes the likelihood of a full-term pregnancy.
How well does it work?
According to research, the Webster Technique has a success rate of 85% when turning a breech baby, compared to an external cephalic version (ECV) that experiences only a 35% success rate.
Webster Technique helps the SI joints. Where are the SI joints located?
The SI joints make up the triangular shaped bone at the bottom of the spine, known as the sacrum. These joints connect the spine to the pelvis.
