Hi Lynn,
I’ve been taught to care for women’s posterior pelvis in supine with a bolster under their knees to help with lower back comfort but notice your model lies flat for most care (other than hooklying position). Is it best not to use a bolster for these techniques?
How soon can we do these techniques on the postpartum patient? Are there any concerns if the patient has had say a 3rd or 4th degree tear and is healing? Should we be waiting to do these techniques on the sacrum, ilium, and ischium until a certain time with these greater tears? Or do you do them right away? Thank you!
Do them right away as long as you don’t create pain! A midwife learned these techniques and started doing them right after birth and found they bones stayed later on when she checked them a week or two later. The less time in the open birthing pattern the better and easier for the body to recover.

You can add a bolster, I just don’t use one unless my client needs one to be comfortable.
