During pregnancy, the body has to adapt to a number of physical and hormonal changes. These changes can lead to increase stress and strain in joints, ligaments and muscles within the body.
For some women, the physical demands of pregnancy can be challenging and may exacerbate pre-existing complaints from poor posture and/ or injury.
Osteopathy is a safe form of treatment throughout pregnancy helping to identify and treat strains and areas of discomfort. Our goal is to develop a treatment plan tailored to you by combining gentle manipulation of joints, stretching and massaging of muscles and soft tissues to help you in the preparation for the latter stages of pregnancy, labour and the post-natal period helping expectant and new mums to recover physically and mentally.
New mums commonly experience the following problems:
- Low back pain
- Muscle aches
- Pelvic or hip pain
- Pubic symphysis strain (pain at the front of the pelvis)
- Muscles aches
- Neck & shoulder pain from holding and feeding the baby
