Pregnancy

Osteopathic treatment offers safe, gentle support throughout pregnancy, helping to ease the physical changes and discomforts that many women experience. As the body adapts to accommodate a growing baby, posture, balance and joint alignment can be affected, often leading to back pain, pelvic discomfort, sciatica or tension in the shoulders and neck.

Osteopaths use subtle hands-on techniques to release strain, improve circulation and restore balance, supporting the body’s natural ability to adapt and stay comfortable. Treatment is always tailored to each stage of pregnancy and to the individual’s needs, providing relief without the use of medication or forceful techniques.

Osteopathy can also help prepare the body for labour by improving pelvic alignment and supporting relaxation. Many women find regular treatment beneficial in promoting a more comfortable pregnancy and smoother postnatal recovery. It’s a gentle way to care for both body and mind during this important time.
