Pregnancy

“To be pregnant is to be vitally alive, thoroughly woman, and distressingly inhabited. Soul and spirit are stretched — along with body — making pregnancy a time of transition, growth, and profound beginnings.”

Anne Christian Buchanan

Pregnancy is such a special time with the changes in a women’s body are both miraculous and challenging (and exhausting!).

While the exciting and extraordinary growth of the baby occurs, ligament laxity, weight gain and shifts in the body’s centre of gravity can create joint discomfort, particularly in the low back and pelvis and stress to soft tissues like muscles and ligaments.

At Embrace Health Chiropractic, Dr Kate and Dr Emily are experienced in the gentle care of pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy and beyond. At Embrace Health Chiropractic, we are certified in the Webster Technique.

Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic analysis and adjustment used on pregnant women. It is an approach that has been developed based on the postural changes that happen when you are pregnant.
