There were 118 primigravidas. 238 untreated paegnant women (28 to 32 weeks' gestation) with breech position made up the control group. 113 out of the treated pregnant women had normal fetal position after treatment with 77.4% of correction rate. 48 out of the 113 pregnant women whose fetal position corrected by treatment only received once therapy
