Obstetrics, biomechanics, optimal foetal positioning, birth and post partum 2.5days / zoom-in option 6-7-8 MAR 2026

This is a comprehensive review of all things obstetrics - and reviews many dynamics such as pain and biomechanics, the maternal-foetal interface, changing sense of self, hormonal and physiological dynamics and optimal foetal positioning. Dynamics for later pregnancy, labour, delivery, and post partum.

The obstetric demands and phsyiogical changes for women during pregnancy are reviewed, and risk factors and red flags included. There is also a comprehensive review of how the biomechanics change, how tissues are affected by hormones and fluids, and how gravity changes and centre of mass changes are relevant for movement and pain / soft tissue dynamics as well as foetal positioning.

Also reviewed are the complex interoceptive, psychological and materno-foetal communications - and how this all impacts of the global body cavities, and the maternal sense of self, and emotional dynamics pre and post partum. Being trauma informed is also important for those with complex previo…
