It sounds very like one of the stretches that my personal trainer uses at 
the end of a training session :-)

I read this too in the Midwifery Today forum.  For the
life of me, I can't get a picture in my head of what
this manipulation might look like!  Have any of you
tried this or somethingsimilar before?

The Art of Midwifery
To turn a posterior baby: Have the woman lie on her
left side with her left leg straight down and in
line with her body and her right leg raised and
brought up toward her face, head curled down toward
knee. [I am short so having her place her knee on my
shoulder is the right height and position.] During a
contraction, push down and back on bottom leg and up
and abducted with top leg. That seems to open pelvis
and allows baby to turn with the contraction. I
usually see a funny look on mom's face, and baby is
on perineum immediately.
