- Abstract
-
The duration of birth of 20 primiparous women treated with osteopathic methods
and 20 women without preparation according to osteopathic methods were
compared by means of an questionnaire. Between the 32. and the 38. week of
pregnancy, the women of the test group were treated according my hypothesis,
that an osteopathic preparation focused on the correction of bony malpositions of
the pelvis, the extension of the M. piriformis and the M. iliopsoas, the resolution
of tensions in the area of the pelvic floor and the correction of the SSB and the os
sacrum leads to a shortening of the duration of birth. Additionally, all malpositions
which have been found in the course of the examination have been corrected.
It could be shown, that women who were treated according to osteopathic
methods took about 1.5 hours less for birth than the women in the control group.
For the women of the control group labour lasted 5 hours on average. For the
women who had received osteopathic preparation this period of time was 3.5
hours on average. The start of birth was defined by those labour pains, which
occurred in maximal intervals of 5 minutes with a minimum duration of one
minute. - presented at
