You'll hear about this technique as a way to FLIP A BREECH BABY.
Yes, by optimizing the natural physiology of the pelvis, we optimize the natural and optimal positioning of the baby, but we do not "flip" the baby. We help to create the space for baby to do the moving on their own.
This technique serves to better prepare the woman's pelvis for labor + delivery. It helps to align the pelvis - optimizing the natural positioning of the pelvis for delivery - which increases positive outcome. This technique also lengthens and relaxes muscles and ligaments - including, but not limited to - the iliopsoas muscle, sacrotuberous ligament, and the round ligament.
Any chiropractor can get certified in the Webster Technique, but not just any chiropractor can be the best at what they do.
Because our doctors practice the Webster Technique daily - literally, EVERY SINGLE DAY, they are the very best at performing this technique.
