What Is the Webster Technique?

The Webster Technique is a gentle, specific chiropractic approach designed just for pregnancy. Its whole focus is balancing the muscles, bones, and ligaments surrounding the pelvis, so the joints move well and tension releases evenly. By restoring that balance and reducing stress on the pelvis, it helps create an optimal environment for your baby to grow, move freely, and settle into the best position for birth.

It's one of the most respected approaches in prenatal care because it does two things at once: it eases the common discomforts of pregnancy, like low back pain, sciatica, pubic pain, and round ligament pain, while also supporting ideal fetal positioning and a more comfortable pelvis as you prepare for birth.

How the Webster Technique Works in Practice

Every visit is gentle, unhurried, and built around your body. Here's what a typical session looks like:

  1. A careful, individualized assessment

    Dr. Chrisi evaluates your pelvic alignment, muscle tone, ligament tension, and nervous system, so your care is shaped around what your body actually needs.

  2. Gentle release of tight muscle groups

    She works with the key muscles that can restrict movement, often starting with the gluteus muscles and piriformis, to ease tension around the pelvis.

  3. Specific, comfortable adjustments

    Using gentle adjustments to the sacrum and ilium, often on a specialized pregnancy drop table, she restores balance with extra precision and minimal soreness. Our adjustable pregnancy tables let you lie safely and comfortably, even on your belly, through every trimester.

  4. Pubic symphysis check and final balancing

    You'll finish on your back so Dr. Chrisi can evaluate the pubic symphysis and gently adjust it if needed, then release the round ligaments, hip flexors, and supporting muscles. This relieves discomfort and eases any pelvic or uterine torsion that may be affecting baby's position.

The Benefits of Webster Technique During Pregnancy

Women who receive regular Webster care through pregnancy often notice:

Relief from back, hip, and pelvic pain
More comfortable sleeping and walking
Fewer round ligament and groin spasms
Support for baby's positioning, including breech or transverse
A more aligned, balanced pelvis
A body that feels ready and supported for birth

Webster Technique & Breech Support

Many mamas find their way to us later in pregnancy when baby is breech or not quite head-down, hoping to create more room for movement. As a Webster Certified provider, Dr. Chrisi uses this gentle, specific technique to ease tension and restore balance in the pelvis and the surrounding muscles and ligaments, giving your baby the space to find their optimal position. She'll also share specific exercises and recommendations to support your body between visits.

Even Better Together: Webster + Body Ready Method

Webster care creates balance and space. The Body Ready Method® (BRM) builds on that by preparing your whole body for birth through targeted movement and bodywork. Combining the two is the most complete way to prepare, and it's a package you won't find just anywhere.

The Total Package

Webster + Body Ready Method® for maximum results.

Webster Technique

Restores pelvic balance and eases the tension around the uterus, creating room for baby to settle into an optimal position.

Body Ready Method®

Prepares your whole body through customized movement and bodywork, building the mobility, strength, and function that support a smoother birth.

Balance + Preparation = Your most birth-ready body

Together, they address both sides of birth prep: Webster balances the pelvis, while BRM helps your whole body move well and work with you during labor. Dr. Chrisi weaves the Body Ready Method into your care, and mamas can go deeper in two ways:

1:1 Body Ready Method Sessions

An in-depth BRM assessment plus your own total toolbox of customized exercises, tailored to exactly what your body needs to prepare.

Body Ready Birth Workshops

A hands-on class to attend with your partner, practicing comfort measures and the movements that help labor progress efficiently.

It's a deeper, more complete way to walk into your birth feeling calm, strong, and truly prepared.

Why Choose Dr. Chrisi for the Webster Technique?

Dr. Chrisi isn't just Webster Technique certified. She has 11-plus years of experience applying this method with thousands of pregnant patients. As a licensed midwife, homebirth mama of two, and a chiropractor specializing exclusively in perinatal and pediatric care, she brings a depth of skill, safety, and whole-person understanding that's genuinely hard to find anywhere in the state.

When you choose MotherBaby Wellness Co., you're not just getting an adjustment. You're getting thoughtful, evidence-informed care that supports your comfort, your birth plan, and your long-term wellbeing as a mother.

How to Find a Webster Certified Chiropractor

Not every chiropractor who claims to practice Webster is actually certified. Many have only taken an introductory course or let their certification lapse. The gold standard for pregnancy chiropractic care is to find a provider listed with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA).

You can verify any provider's Webster, perinatal, or pediatric certification at icpa4kids.com/find-a-pediatric-chiropractor. Dr. Chrisi maintains active ICPA certification and stays current with the latest techniques and protocols in pregnancy and pediatric chiropractic, as well as midwifery care.

    "It’s my favorite time of the week. I started to go at the begging of my pregnancy with a really bad lower back pain, and worried about how it might be later on with a bigger and heavier belly. I am 37 weeks pregnant now and I can tell you: My back does not bother me at all! (I mean, just the normal laydown position during pregnancy) but before, I couldn’t even move."
