"This technique was developed by Dr. Larry Webster, founder of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. He discovered this technique as a safe means to restore proper pelvic balance and function for pregnant mothers. In expectant mothers presenting breech, there has been a high reported success rate of the baby turning to the normal vertex position. This technique has been successfully used in women whose babies present transverse and posterior as well. It has also successfully used with twins. Any position of the baby other than ROA may indicate the presence of sacral subluxation and therefore intrauterine constraint. At no time should this technique be interpreted as an obstetric, 'breech turning' technique." International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (www.icpa4kids.com)

This technique's purpose is to allow more intrauterine space for the baby to move and to decrease the chance of intrauterine constraint. Webster technique should be utilized throughout pregnancy, but has a high success rate even when begun late in pregnancy. Late in pregnancy there is little room for the baby move, and millimeters may make all of the difference.
