Osteopath Treatment for Pregnancy

Rediscover Comfort and Energy: Experience Relief from Pregnancy Discomforts with Osteopathic Care in West Didsbury.

Integrating Osteopathy and Massage for Effective Relief from Back & Neck Pain, Shoulder Injuries, and Various Musculoskeletal Conditions During Pregnancy

Life doesn’t stop when you’re pregnant, despite the major adaptive changes your body is going through. Pain does not need to be a ‘normal’ part of your pregnancy.

Osteopathy offers a nurturing approach to support your well-being throughout pregnancy. By harmonising the musculoskeletal system, it eases aches and pains, fostering a smoother pregnancy and labour experience. Additionally, osteopathic care enhances posture and optimises the function of the circulatory, nervous, and lymphatic systems, promoting overall vitality.

As your dedicated osteopath, I am committed to:

  1. Providing effective pain relief through tailored treatments, including manipulation, massage, and acupuncture techniques targeting the affected areas and their interconnected structures.

  2. Developing a personalised treatment plan specifically for pregnancy, encompassing specific exercises designed to alleviate your symptoms and enhance your comfort.

  3. Empowering you with the knowledge to help yourself navigate your pregnancy journey with confidence.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING PREGNANCY?

Throughout pregnancy progressive adaptations occur to allow for the developing child. Ligaments soften, the curves of the spine change and your overall posture is altered. As the baby grows your centre of gravity gradually moves forward. This alters the normal mechanical stress on the body and exaggerates the arching in the lower back. All of these changes increase the pressure on the spinal joints, muscles and ligaments.

  • Lower back pain

    Rib & mid back pain

    Neck pain + headaches

    General joint aches and pains

    Hip or pelvic girdle pain

    Sciatica

  • Osteopathic treatment supports the body through changes associated with pregnancy, during the mid to final stages of the pregnancy. I will aim to maintain the body’s balance by having a positive effect on the circulatory, nervous and lymphatic systems throughout the pregnancy. Treatment is gentle, and non-invasive.
