For the mother
- Prepare the pelvis for an easier pregnancy and birth by creating a state of balance in pelvic bony structures, muscles and ligaments.
- Removes tension on the ligaments that support the uterus thus reducing the torsion(intrauterine constraint) to the woman's uterus.
- Allows for safer easier birth for the mother decreasing the potential for intervention
For the infant
- Allows the baby the room to develop without restrictions to its forming cranium, spine and other skeletal structures.
- Removes interferences to the mother's nerve system allowing for better baby development.
- Offers the baby the room to move into the best possible position for birth.
- With proper fetal positioning, there is a significant decrease in dystocia and the resulting birth trauma caused by intervention.
