Pregnancy is a miracle of life. Hormones play in perfect harmony to facilitate the growth of a new baby. These hormonal changes result in a softening of muscles, joints and ligaments in order to allow the body to stretch and prepare for birth. As growth continues, a shift in the body’s centre of gravity occurs, altering our joint mechanics and the way we move. In order to adapt well to these changes, it is important to maintain balance in the body.

Imbalances in the body during pregnancy may manifest as:

• Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) / Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction

• Headaches

• Jaw pain

• Neck pain

• Urinary dysfunction

• Stress

Pregnancy is a time to nurture, nourish and connect in with your body. Chiropractic care can help to achieve balance and optimal function, which can help the body to feel comfortable, relaxed and prepared for birth.

Webster Technique

The Webster Technique is a specific analysis and adjustment that aims to restore balance in the pelvis and enhance nervous system function. Joint restrictions and soft tissue imbalances in the pelvis may restrict the baby from getting into their optimal position for birth. Achieving balance in these structures can help optimise the pelvic function of the mother during pregnancy and birth.
