Osteopathy - Pregnancy
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a beautiful approach to the harmony and health of the living body.
Osteopathy can facilitate and support this process by restoring movement, undo patterns of holding and bracing and acknowledge emotional components manifesting somatically in our bodies.
As an Osteopath I use gentle, hands-on treatments to recreate your body’s natural equilibrium, relieving pain and discomfort. Each treatment is unique resulting from a systematic assessment and diagnosis. Osteopathy helps to restore the optimal function of your body, allowing it to heal itself naturally.
How can Osteopathy help you during pregnancy?
Pregnancy places unique demands on a woman’s body. Each experience is different—while some women may feel they thrive throughout their pregnancy, others may struggle with the physical changes that come with a growing baby. As the body adapts to new shapes, postures, and physiological shifts, many women face challenges that can impact their comfort and well-being.
However, the hormonal changes during pregnancy often make the body more responsive to treatment. The body’s ability to adapt quickly with the right support means that many of the common discomforts of pregnancy can be alleviated with gentle osteopathic care. Osteopathy helps with alignment, tissue drainage, and improving breathing mechanics.
Common issues that many pregnant women seek treatment for include:
- General discomfort
- Pain in the hips, lower back, neck, pelvic area, and wrists
- Reflux
- Shortness of breath
It’s not uncommon for new areas of pain to emerge as the body changes during pregnancy. Addressing these concerns early can prevent problems from worsening as your pregnancy progresses. If you’ve had previous injuries, such as to the pelvis or coccyx, it’s especially important to seek support. Early osteopathic treatment can help ensure these areas function properly, preparing the body for labour.
Osteopathy can also be a helpful tool to prepare your body for labour by promoting balance and supporting optimal movement patterns, making the birth process smoother and more efficient.
