Side-lying Release Benefits

Spinning Babies The Side-lying Release (SLR) technique has brought hope around the world for childbirth. Dr. Carol Phillips, Chiropractor, developed several amazing techniques from cranial sacral traditions and observed events in childbirth. Both Side-lying Release and the Forward-leaning Inversion stem from serendipitous moments in  birth.
