Osteopathy and Pregnancy

During pregnancy, there are many physiological and musculoskeletal changes that occur throughout the body.

These changes can lead to a number of pain related syndromes that can be effectively treated and managed with Osteopathic treatment. 

These conditions can include

• lower back pain 
• pelvic pain / Pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain (PGP)
• carpal tunnel syndrome 
• hip pain 
• rib pain which can affect breathing 
• thoracic/ mid back pain and tightness 
• shoulder and neck pain and tightness 
• headaches 

Treatment focuses on gentle hands on treatment, lifestyle advice, postural analysis and exercise prescription. 

Our aim is to keep you active and pain free throughout all three trimesters. We then encourage patients to follow up with us post birth to assist with any postural concerns related to feeding and looking after your newborn baby.
