Local Marrickville Chiropractor Rated 5/5
Welcome to Marrickville Chiropractic Care. I understand that pregnancy can be both exciting and physically challenging, and I’m here to support you.
I have a clinical interest in pregnancy care, and often call upon the Webster Technique. This is a gentle approach designed specifically to support pelvic balance and overall comfort during pregnancy.
Whether you’re in early pregnancy, managing discomfort, or preparing for birth, I’m here to help you feel more at ease, more aligned, and more confident in your journey.
Gentle Support for Pregnancy and Beyond
What is the Webster technique?
The Webster Technique is a gentle chiropractic method that focuses on your pelvis and surrounding soft tissues. It was developed specifically to support women by:
- Encouraging balanced pelvic structures
- Supporting improved pelvic mobility
- Promoting an ideal environment for baby positioning
It’s important to note that the Webster Technique doesn’t reposition breech babies. What it does is may reduce restrictions and improve the conditions that allow for natural movement.
Making your pregnancy more comfortable!

Your care is always tailored to your needs and stage of pregnancy.

Many women begin care in the first or second trimester to manage early changes and prevent discomfort. Others start later in pregnancy for support with back pain, pelvic pressure, or baby positioning.
