What to Expect During Treatment
Before your session:
We discuss your pregnancy history and current symptoms. We then carry out a gentle check of your pelvis and spine.
During your session:
You will lie on your side or rest in a supported position with pillows. Light, precise pressure is applied to areas of the pelvis and lower back to ease muscle and ligament tension.
After your session:
Many mothers feel more balanced and relaxed. Mild soreness can occur, similar to how you may feel after gentle exercise.
Is the Webster Technique Safe?
Yes. The Webster Technique is a safe, non invasive method delivered by trained chiropractors. Care is always tailored to your comfort and carried out with a high standard of safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Webster Technique only for pregnant women?
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing health problems through manual techniques. It emphasizes the interrelationship between the body’s structure and function, particularly the musculoskeletal system.
How early in pregnancy can I start Webster Technique care?
You can begin at any stage of pregnancy. Some mothers start early for preventative support, while others begin later when discomfort or alignment issues arise.
Will the Webster Technique turn a breech baby?
The Webster Technique is not a breech-turning procedure. Its purpose is to improve pelvic balance and create more space for your baby, which may encourage them to move into a more optimal position naturally.
