Throughout your life, your body constantly creates tension in response to stress; physical, chemical, emotional or mental. This tension is entirely appropriate because it helps you rise to meet life's challenges. However, when your body holds on to this tension it becomes restrictive and no longer appropriate.
These restrictions impact your life and well-being. When your body is expending energy on holding tension, other processes are diminished; much like turning down a dimmer switch, the capacity of your internal organs, your immune system and your brain's pathways are reduced. This limits your ability to feel vital, to tune into your intuition, creativity, needs and internal rhythms. Long held tension patterns can also result in symptoms as diverse as anxiety, depression, lack of energy, poor sleep, poor digestion, headaches, and back pain. Symptoms are simply your body's way to alert you that reassessment and change are necessary.

Webster Technique
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic adjustment for the pregnant mother. This technique is classically used during the 7th through 9th month of pregnancy. The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment that reduces interference to the nervous system and balances maternal pelvic muscles and ligaments. This, in turn, reduces torsion in the uterus, a cause of intra-uterine constraint of the baby and allows for optimal fetal positioning in preparation for birth.This technique reduces tension in the muscles and ligaments of the pelvis. It uses a combination of gentle adjusting to balance the SI joints and gentle ligamentous trigger point work to allow for more room for the baby to move and better position itself.
