BREECH, O.P. BABIES PREVENTION COURSE
<< BACK

 

Optimal fetal positioning is gaining momentum worldwide. The idea that breech babies and o.p. babies can be turned by using exercises is new and exciting. 'The Swiss Method' and 'Spinning Babies' have spent years perfecting and updating techniques to be able to assess the baby's lie and help prevent and change dangerous or negative outcomes.  

 

With the use of Marilus manouevres, Pelvic release exercises, belly mapping and more.  You can help the baby rotate in uterus to allow an easier descent for the baby, which translates into a quicker smoother birth.

 

Using my training with both techniques I have confidently helped manipulate breech babies into a non breech positions and assisted in turning o.p. lying babies into a more optimal fetal position.  

 

This course is given privately specifically for mums who are nearing the end of pregnancy, 32 weeks + and want to correct or optimize the lie of their baby, or have had a previous traumatic experience.
