OMP Live Workshop — Optimal Maternal Positioning for Birth Professionals | Adelaide

You already know how to support a textbook labour. This workshop is for the ones that aren't. The posterior baby that won't rotate. The asynclitic head. The labour that stalls for reasons no one can quite name. The mother who's exhausted and the clock that keeps ticking. Most birth professionals are trained in what to recognise — far less in what to do with the mother's body in the next ten minutes. That gap is what Optimal Maternal Positioning™ (OMP) was created to address. OMP explores maternal alignment, pelvic mobility and fetal positioning to create space for the baby to complete the cardinal movements of birth — helping professionals understand not simply which position to suggest, but when, why and for which level of the pelvis.
