Webster Pregnancy Technique.
Dr Carla is certified in the Webster Pregnancy Technique. The Webster Pregnancy Technique is a specific chiropractic pelvic analysis and adjustment. The goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to improve pelvic joint dysfunction and reduce the effects it may have in pregnancy and birth. Families and birth providers are increasingly seeking out certified practitioners.
Spinning Babies®.
Spinning Babies® represents a revolutionary approach to childbirth preparation and care, grounded in understanding the physiological dynamics of birth.
During labor, a baby's descent through the pelvis involves crucial rotations to fit the curves of the birth canal. Facilitating these foetal rotations can significantly ease the birthing process for both mother and child.
Spinning Babies® emphasizes a deeper comprehension of birth physiology to promote smoother deliveries. This approach, pioneered by midwife Gail Tully, aims to transform childbirth experiences worldwide.
Spinning Babies® focuses on empowering the body through self-care and specific movements. These practices restore balance and create optimal space for the baby within the mother's anatomy, encouraging babies to naturally position themselves for childbirth.
Dr Carla is trained in Spinning Babies® and recommends these specific exercises in her consultations.
Optimal Maternal Positioning.
Optimal Maternal Positioning (OMP) plays a crucial role in achieving optimal fetal positioning during childbirth. By ensuring alignment and mobility within the mother's pelvis, OMP supports the baby's natural cardinal movements essential for the smooth progression of labor and delivery. This approach fosters teamwork between mother and baby, enhancing the likelihood of a quicker and easier delivery
Dr Carla is trained in Optimal Maternal Positioning techniques and performs these in her consultations through pregnancy.
