Is Osteopathic treatment safe in pregnancy?
Osteopathy is a safe and non-invasive way to help alleviate pain and discomfort experienced during pregnancy.
Using gentle physical manipulation and massage, pregnancy Osteopathy is an effective treatment method that can help maintain body balance and alignment during your pregnancy.How Osteopathy can help with your pregnancy
Osteopathy during pregnancy provides body-based manipulative treatment in order to reduce pain, improve postural balance and maintain optimal health in expectant mothers.
Pregnancy Osteopathy treatment consists of gentle physical manipulation, stretching and massaging of a patient’s muscles and joints in order to:
- Alleviate any pain and discomfort
- Relieve muscle tension
- Increase joint mobility (especially within the spine and pelvis)
- Help support and align a woman’s body in preparation for labour
Postpartum Osteopathy treatment
While Osteopathy can greatly benefit pregnant women, Osteopathic treatment can also be beneficial once baby is born. Osteopathy can help mothers with post-pregnancy recovery while they adapt to new postural changes along with the recent shift in their body’s centre of gravity.
