The Webster Technique is a chiropractic analysis involving gentle adjustment of the pelvic bones along with soft tissue work of the surrounding areas. Webster Technique can help to support optimal nervous system function during pregnancy as well as create balance and space within the pelvis. This can help to address common concerns such as low back and hip pain as well as tightness in the muscles and ligaments around the growing uterus. Creating balance and space in the pelvis allows not only for the pregnant individual to stay active and mobile but can also facilitate optimal baby positioning.

​As part of your care we include a proactive framework for navigating exercise during pregnancy so that you may have an informed postpartum period. This framework includes education and exercises relating to preservation of pelvic floor and core function, breathing and lifting modifications as well as common experiences such as diastasis recti, incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
