Pregnancy is such a special time but it is also a time of huge physical, hormonal and emotional change that can sometimes be overwhelming. The body needs to constantly and quickly adapt to its’ ever changing centre of gravity and the demands for support and space of your growing bump. Osteopathy can help the body cope with postural discomfort and help ease symptoms such as pelvic, back, and rib pain, fluid retention making the whole experience of pregnancy an easier one.

Pre-natal Osteopathy
Pre-natal osteopathy focuses on supporting women throughout their pregnancy journey. The treatments aim to:
- Alleviate common pregnancy discomforts: Osteopathic techniques can help manage back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica that often occur during pregnancy.
- Improve posture: As the body changes to accommodate the growing baby, osteopathy can assist in maintaining proper alignment and reducing strain on the spine and joints.
- Enhance circulation: Gentle manipulations can promote better blood flow, potentially reducing swelling in the legs and feet.
- Prepare for labor: Osteopathic treatments may help optimize pelvic alignment and mobility, potentially contributing to an easier birthing process
Post-natal Osteopathy
After childbirth, post-natal osteopathy plays a crucial role in supporting a mother’s recovery:
- Address delivery-related strains: Osteopathic techniques can help alleviate tensions and imbalances in the pelvis and spine that may have occurred during labor and delivery.
- Support breastfeeding: Treatments can focus on improving upper body posture and reducing tension in the neck and shoulders, which may enhance comfort during breastfeeding.
- Assist in recovery: Osteopathy can aid in the healing of caesarean scars and help restore core strength and stability.
- Manage postpartum discomfort: Techniques can be applied to alleviate lower back pain, pelvic pain, and other physical challenges that may arise after giving birth
