A specific chiropractic assessment and adjustment of the pelvisand the soft tissue around it, used during pregnancy. It's a defined protocol with its own certification, and practitioners train in it separately to say they use it.
Pregnancy changes how the pelvis carries load, and it does it quickly. Weight shifts forward, the centre of gravity moves, and ligaments soften under hormonal change, so the sacroiliac joints and the muscles and ligaments around them are working differently than they were a few months earlier. The technique is directed at that: restriction in those joints, and tension in the surrounding soft tissue.
It's applied to your pelvis — your baby's position stays with your midwife or obstetrician. There's more on that further down.
Dr Kenneth Taylor is certified in the Webster Technique, and he's who you'll be booked with when you tell reception you're pregnant. He's been registered since 2009.

AHPRA CHI0000988624Your appointment
About 30 minutes, with enough time for your chiropractor to understand how the pregnancy has gone, assess you properly and explain what they find.
And how far along you are. That's what gets you matched with Dr Taylor, and it means the room is set up before you arrive.
What you're feeling, where, what provokes it, and how the pregnancy has gone. The assessment decides whether this kind of care suits you — it isn't applied as a matter of course.
Side-lying with support for most of it, on tables that adjust to accommodate a growing abdomen. If a position doesn't feel right, say so and it changes.
Positions, movements and load advice you can use at 34 weeks, and a plan for how often to come back — which for many people is not very often.
Pelvic girdle pain at the pubic bone or the back of the pelvis, low back pain, and sciatica down the leg. They overlap, and the assessment separates them, because they aren't managed the same way.

The Webster Technique addresses restriction in the sacroiliac joints and tension in the soft tissue around the pelvis. That is what it is for, and that is what an appointment here does.
It is not a procedure for turning a breech baby, and it shouldn't be described as one.It's an assessment and adjustment of the mother's pelvis, not an obstetric intervention. Anyone describing it as a way to reposition a baby is describing something other than what it is.
Your baby's position is a question for your midwife or obstetrician, and it stays with them. If you've been told your baby is breech, that conversation belongs in maternity care — a chiropractic appointment isn't a substitute for it, and nothing here is offered as one.

Questions
The Webster Technique is a specific chiropractic assessment and adjustment of the pelvis and the soft tissue around it, used during pregnancy. It addresses restriction in the sacroiliac joints and tension in the surrounding muscles and ligaments, and it's a defined protocol with its own certification rather than a general term for treating a pregnant patient.
Dr Kenneth Taylor. He's the chiropractor here who holds the certification, so tell reception you're pregnant when you book and you'll be matched with him. Practitioners have to train in it separately to say they use it.
Technique is adapted for pregnancy rather than being the same treatment applied to a pregnant patient — different positioning, different force, and a table that adjusts to accommodate a growing abdomen. As with any care during pregnancy, tell your midwife or obstetrician what you're doing, and tell your chiropractor about the pregnancy and any complications before the first appointment.
Any stage. Some people come in the first trimester, many arrive in the second or third when the load through the pelvis changes most noticeably, and some come afterwards for postnatal recovery.
No, and it shouldn't be described that way. The technique is an assessment and adjustment of the mother's pelvis, addressing joint restriction and muscular tension. It is not an obstetric procedure and it does not reposition a baby — your baby's position is a question for your midwife or obstetrician, and if you've been told your baby is breech, that conversation belongs in your maternity care.
Vaginal bleeding, fluid loss, regular tightening or contractions before 37 weeks, reduced or changed fetal movements, a severe headache with visual disturbance or swelling, fever, or pain with burning on urination all need urgent assessment from your maternity provider or an emergency department — now, not an appointment here. Rhythmic low back pain that comes and goes in a pattern can be labour.
Tell reception you're pregnant and how far along when you book, so the appointment is set up for it. Both links go straight to Dr Kenneth Taylor's diary.
