Webster Technique

What is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a gentle, specific chiropractic approach used during pregnancy to help optimize pelvic alignment and prepare the body for labor + delivery.

You might hear it talked about as a way to “flip a breech baby” — but that’s not actually what we do.

Instead, we focus on restoring balance and proper alignment in the pelvis, creating more space for baby to move into their optimal position naturally.

By supporting the body’s natural physiology, this technique can help improve comfort, encourage ideal positioning, and promote more positive birth outcomes.

It also works to release tension and improve function in the muscles and ligaments surrounding the pelvis, including:

• Sacrotuberous ligament (back of the pelvis)
• Sacrum (tailbone area)
• Iliopsoas muscle (front hip flexor)
• Round ligament (front of the pelvis)
• Pubic symphysis (front pelvic joint)

A balanced pelvis = a more supported pregnancy and a body better prepared for birth.

Who can benefit from the Webster Technique during pregnancy?

The answer: every mama-to-be.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy helps support proper pelvic alignment, creating a more comfortable and balanced environment for both mom and baby. When the pelvis is misaligned, it can increase tension in the surrounding ligaments and uterus, which may affect the baby’s ability to move and settle into an ideal position.

The Webster Technique is a gentle, specialized approach that promotes pelvic balance, mobility, and overall alignment throughout pregnancy. By reducing tension and improving function, it can encourage optimal baby positioning—including helping reduce the likelihood of breech presentation—while also easing common discomforts like pelvic and low back pain.

This technique supports the body’s natural ability to adapt during pregnancy, enhancing nervous system function and helping both mom and baby function at their best. The result is a more supported pregnancy and preparation for a smoother birth experience.
