What is the Webster Technique?
The Webster Technique is used for pregnant women by pregnancy chiropractors. This technique is used to optimize the positioning of the pelvis which helps to optimally position the baby within the uterus to help with a more straightforward labour and birth. The webster technique involves soft tissue work on specific muscle and ligaments as well as specific pregnancy chiropractic adjustments.
Through the use of the webster technique the chiropractor can address any pelvic misalignments which may be causing pain or impacting the baby’s ability to position itself in a head down position in the uterus.
Goals of the Webster Technique
- Optimal Baby Positioning
- Pain Relief : back pain, pubic symphysis pain [SPD], round ligament pain
- Prepare for Labour [including VBAC and caesarean births]
Do you or someone you know
look like they have Tech neck?
If you think you or your loved ones are experiencing ‘tech neck’ or you are worried about getting it then here are our top tips to manage and prevent it.
- Get adjusted
Chiropractic adjustments for neck pain help to maintain mobility in the neck which can alleviate pain and discomfort.
Regular care can also help to correct the neck curve which will lead to overall better function long term. By keeping the neck moving well and functioning well we can restore proper neck motion and posture.
2. Time on the denaroll or neck curve correction device
Spending 10 minutes on a neck curve correction device such as a denneroll helps your neck sit in the correct posture. This allows deep stretches to occur in tight muscles and ligaments which can help return proper alignment.
It also helps the brain recognise proper joint positioning which can help it to assist in the realignment.
3. Correctly using devices
Bringing phone to eye level will avoid that looking down posture and stops your neck curve from reversing. Instead, by bringing phone to eye level you keep the natural curve in the neck.
For laptop or computer use, make sure you have a correct ergonomic set up. Screen should be at eye level and your elbows and wrists at 90 degrees. Shoulders should be back and torso should be engaged and upright.
4. For kids using tablets the best position is on their belly
If children are using tablets or ipads for extended periods of time then the best position for them to do this is to lay on their bellies with the device propped up.
Again this prevents that looking down position and keeps the neck in a neutral position.
5. Take regular breaks
It’s easy to get lost in scrolling on your phone or working away on your laptop but the best thing you can do is take regular breaks. Get up and move around.
Stretch your neck and pecs, look up at the sky. Sticking reminder sticky notes to your laptop or setting a timer for every 30 minutes is a great way to remind yourself.
Tech neck is not just an aesthetic postural problem. It’s a risk factor for early onset degeneration (arthritis) of the neck and can have an effect on brain function.
