Osteopathy can be of great benefit during both the ante- and post-natal periods in helping your body adjust to the strains of pregnancy and motherhood.

Throughout pregnancy enormous changes take place in the body leading to significant stress on posture and movement that can result in pain. After pregnancy the body has to recover from the postural stresses of pregnancy as well as adjust to caring for a newborn baby.  All the lifting and carrying of both the baby and the related equipment place a significant stress on the mum’s body.  Common symptoms that can be relieved by osteopathy include:

During pregnancy:

Lower back pain
Hip pain
Upper back pain
Feet/ankle problems
Symphysis pubis dysfunction
Wrist pain

Post-natal:

Upper back pain
Postural pain - from breast feeding or carrying
Neck pain
Low back/pelvic pain
Knee pains
