The Birth Ready Method® is a unique adjusting protocol for chiropractors to apply their hands-on skills to prepare women for physiologic birth.
“Moving into a new era of pregnancy care with a comprehensive analysis and correction protocol, known as The Birth Ready Method.”
This protocol supports the neuromechanical changes that modern pregnant body’s experience. It’s for the busy working mums. It’s for the first time mums who’ve been told baby isn’t engaged yet. It’s for mums chasing after their other children while trying to maintain correct pelvic function. It’s for the mums who aren’t enjoying pregnancy due to pain and discomfort. Every pregnant woman can benefit from better pelvic alignment and balance.
With almost two decades of extensive clinical pregnancy care experience, I felt frustrated that the techniques and tools I’d been taught worked some of the time, but not all of the time. That’s what drove the development of this advanced 8-step protocol for adjusting pregnant women in preparation for physiologic birth. Incorporating the very best of the skills needed to align the pelvic and spinal framework, and release tension in the soft tissues supporting the uterus, this method provides a logical and evidence-supported sequence of corrections - a clear and logical flow for adjusting pregnant women. It includes specific technique variations for each trimester, a greater understanding of the psychoneuroemotional aspects of pregnancy and postpartum, and a reverence for the power of the birthing woman.
The Birth Ready Method® is built upon foundations laid by earlier pioneers in the chiropractic profession, such as Dr Larry Webster and Dr Jeanne Ohm (The Webster Technique), and incorporates advances in understanding of the unique physiological needs of today’s pregnant women. The real beauty of this protocol is not just the impact it can have in improving birth outcomes due to improved maternal physiology; It has been created to be a protocol chiropractors can integrate into any chiropractic practice style. It is a specific series of diversified and low-force corrections for complete pregnancy and postpartum care.
