Osteopathy During Pregnancy

​

Pregnancy is a wonderful time for a mother, but also a period of rapid change for her body. When you consult me, I will spend time gathering all the necessary information about the issues that are affecting you & perform an Osteopathic physical assessment.

 

I will assess to see how your body is adapting to the growing bump.

 

There is no better example of Osteopathic Principles than in the case of pregnancy –

 

Osteopathic Principle 1: The Body Is A Unit – your whole body changes during pregnancy to accommodate for the growing baby and uterus in your abdomen..

 

Osteopathic Principle 2: Structure Governs Function – as your body changes shape and weight tension can build, function can become impaired, strain can occur and pain can develop.

 

Treatment aims to ease physical tensions & help biomechanical balance to the body so that the body can begin to function better. Pregnancy is a wonderful time of change and my patients report that they find our sessions beneficial.

​

My approach can include Structural & Cranial treatment. I also offer advice on how to help you to help yourself to be more comfortable between sessions

​

Osteopathy After Pregnancy

​​

Women can experience problems after the birth. My unique approach to Osteopathy has helped many women ease discomfort and improve function after they have given birth. 

 

I offer a full rehabilitation program to help after birth. If you have had a caesarean section or any surgery then it is best that you are fully healed and have no signs of infection before you begin our sessions.

 

I look forward to seeing you soon.
