Sacral rocking is a technique performed by a partner to help decrease pressure in the sacral and pubic symphysis regions - while also increasing movement to aid in baby positioning and low back / SI pain relief.
Sifting is a technique performed by a partner to decrease pressure on the low back. For further information on this technique - reach out to a Birthing Doula or look into Spinning Babies.
