It is such a privilege to treat mums to be.
The aim is to make space, make space, make more space so that mum and bub are much more comfortable.
Why Consider Osteopathy During Pregnancy?
The increased postural demand on the body during pregnancy can cause:
- lower back, midback and neck pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- thoracic outlet syndrome
- pesky rib pain
- groin, pelvis or pubic symphysis pain
- sciatica or disc injuries
- hip pain and hip bursitis
- headaches
- knee and ankle injuries
In addition to these common complaints, some pregnant individuals may also experience muscle imbalances, changes in gait and general stiffness as their body adapts to the growing baby. These changes can place extra strain on joints and soft tissues, making it even more important to address discomfort early.
Osteopathy for pregnancy offers a gentle, hands-on approach to help restore balance, improve mobility and support the body’s natural ability to adapt throughout this time. Many people find that osteopathy during pregnancy not only helps relieve pain but also promotes overall wellbeing for both mother and baby.
Supporting Your Body Naturally
The hormones relaxin and progesterone are culprits for making ligaments and muscles loose during pregnancy, preparing the body for birth. We can't make these hormones stop doing what they do best but we can help balance your whole body, your pelvis, joints and muscles to adapt and better cope with the added strains of a growing baby.
We use hands-on techniques and gentle cranial work to settle the nervous system and assist in improving efficacy of all bodily systems (musculoskeletal, fascia, blood and lymph, nervous system). Osteopathy during pregnancy provides safe, gentle support to help you feel more comfortable and connected as your body changes.
If you are pregnant and need some help, feel free to get in contact with us. I would love to support you through this special time!
