Issues with pelvic alignment and uterus imbalances can lead to misaligned spines and changes in posture. These imbalances affect both the mother and the baby. The uterus connects to the inner pelvis via ligaments and soft tissues. When the mother experiences pelvic imbalances, it creates twists in these ligaments, altering the uterus's shape and reducing the space for the baby to grow.
Consequently, this can affect the fetus's position in the mother's abdomen, potentially causing transverse or breech positioning.
