About Pre & Post-Natal Osteopathy
Pre and post-natal osteopathy is a specialised branch of osteopathic care tailored to support women during pregnancy and after childbirth. During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes.
Pre-natal osteopathy offers gentle, safe techniques to alleviate these issues and prepare the body for labor.
Post-Natal Osteopathy focuses on helping new mothers recover from the strains of pregnancy and labor, promoting healing, and restoring strength.
By addressing musculoskeletal imbalances, it aids in improving overall well-being, enabling mothers to relax and embrace the challenges of motherhood with greater comfort and strength.
Why Pre & Post-Natal Osteopathy
Prenatal Care
During pregnancy, changes in your posture, centre of gravity, fluid dynamics, hormones, muscle tension and ligament stability can aggravate underlying issues or cause new symptoms.
Postnatal osteopathic care
Pain and discomfort can be aggravated by postural strain related to feeding, holding, and settling your baby. Sleep deprivation, biomechanical, and hormonal changes can also contribute to your pain.
Osteopathic treatment is integral to support the wellbeing of women during pregnancy and the post-natal period. Treatment aims to restore pelvic and spinal alignment, improve mobility, and to release tension in the muscles, joints, and ligaments. Gentle techniques allow a shift in the nervous system to a more restful state.
Aches and pains such as joints, low back and pelvic pain are common in pregnancy because of the postural and physiological changes that a woman’s body undergoes as baby develops. Osteopathy can help ease numerous physical discomforts and help the body prepare for the demands of labour.
After birth, a mother tends to concentrate on her new-born’s wellbeing, however, it is important to release mechanical strains and stresses on her body from pregnancy and labour; Osteopathic treatment can help the mother regain health and strength and allow her to relax and enjoy the new challenge of life with baby.
