I have looked after thousands of pregnant patients with great results of not only easing discomfort as their bodies change, but decreasing the hardships of labour by preparing the body for the upcoming birth. By doing this, it reduces labour times and it is less traumatic. It is like an athlete preparing his/her body before a major athletic event as oppose to coming in without preparation. I have worked with several practitioners who assist in birthing and the team effect works well when we all have the same goal - a successful, healthy, comfortable birth for both mom and baby.
Thank you for the feedback
