Pregnancy Related Pain

How does an Osteopath help pregnancy related pain?

​

During pregnancy, the body undergoes many changes to accommodate for your new arrival. Your Osteopath will help manage pregnancy-related pain by using gentle, hands-on techniques to relieve tension, improve joint mobility, and support the body’s natural changes during pregnancy. We can gently work on the ligaments of the pelvis to create more space for your baby, whilst enhancing comfort and mobility to support overall wellbeing for both mother and baby. 

​

Unfortunately, many people will experience pain post-partum as the body responds to the biomechanical and emotional stressors of pregnancy and child birth. Your Osteopath will work on postural changes which may have occurred and can provide a realistic strengthening/mobility program, understanding the challenges of looking after your little one.​​​​
