The Webster Technique: Optimizing Pelvic Alignment During Pregnancy
Léa Guido
What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic protocol developed for the care of pregnant women, focused on analyzing and aligning the pelvis, along with the muscles and ligaments that support it. Its goal is to optimize the mother's pelvic function throughout pregnancy.
How is it applied during pregnancy?
The chiropractor evaluates the position of the pelvis and checks for imbalances in the surrounding muscles and ligaments, particularly the round ligament. From there, gentle, specific adjustments are applied, fully adapted to each stage of pregnancy, aiming to reduce tension and improve pelvic balance.
Benefits for the mother during pregnancy and birth
A more balanced pelvis can support better function throughout pregnancy and birth, helping reduce discomfort associated with pelvic strain and allowing the body to move more freely in the final weeks of pregnancy. Many mothers report feeling more overall comfort after their sessions.
