We treat women throughout their pregnancies to assist with the symptoms caused by changes in posture and weight bearing. The techniques employed are modified according to the trimester.
Some common conditions that arise during pregnancy that are frequently treated include:
Lower back and pelvic pain.
Mid back pain.
Fluid retention, carpal tunnel.
Pubic symphysis pain.
Headaches.
Knee and foot pain.
Sciatica.
Pregnancy/post natal care.
Prepare for your birth:
Preparatory osteopathic treatment can enable your labour proceed as smoothly as possible. You can have an assessment to make sure everything, especially your pelvic alignment and function, is optimal for the birth. Postnatal treatment can also be helpful in recovery from the extreme physical changes experienced in childbirth.
