Benefits Of Osteopathy During Pregnancy
Expecting a baby? Why should you see an Osteopath?
1. Changes to your body deserve attention.
During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many physiological and developmental changes to accommodate a growing baby and prepare the body for birth. These changes can disrupt the body’s structure and ability to function and may include weight gain, postural changes, fluid retention and ligament laxity due to the position of the growing baby. These natural changes can put extra pressure on the joints and muscles of the spine and pelvis.
2. It is safe for you and your baby
Osteopathy is a gentle, drug-free, and safe treatment for both mother and baby. Every pregnancy experience is unique, so our team of experienced osteopaths develops bespoke treatment plans for each mum-to-be. Our job as osteopathic practitioners is to help reduce pain and improve postural alignment to assist the natural process of pregnancy and birth.
