Most of the referrals I receive from OB’s and Midwives are for this technique. This is used when a baby is not laying in the optimal position, which is head down. The baby may be transverse, posterior (face up) or bottom down(breech). The Webster Intrauterine Constraint technique is a technique that I use to balance the pelvis and sacrum. If there is any tightness in the muscles, tendons and ligaments that are in the pelvic or abdominal region, the baby will lay in a nonoptimal way. I don’t actually turn the baby, like an external version, I release any restriction in the pelvis and abdomen and allow the baby to turn his/herself. This is a very safe technique and one of my most popular. I have had great success using it ! I also incorporate a couple other techniques that I have also found to work and teach the husbands some tricks they can use at home to help their wife.
