Birthing Biomechanics Techniques
This is a menu page for you to easily find the technique that you need. If you would like to understand the techniques or learn more about when they are useful, how to use them and why, please check out my courses.
In any situation, remember to think:
If you use any of these techniques in your pregnancy or are a birth worker that uses any of them with birthing people you are caring for, please consider completing this very short survey to help build an evidence base for birthing biomechanics techniques. The survey is completely anonymous and only 10 short questions. It should take less than two minutes to complete.
