OSTEOPATHY AND PREGNANCY
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach to healthcare that can help support women throughout pregnancy by improving comfort, mobility, and overall wellbeing. During pregnancy, your body goes through significant postural and hormonal changes that can place extra strain on the joints, muscles, and ligaments. An osteopath uses safe, adapted techniques to help:
​
-
Relieve tension and discomfort in the back, hips, and pelvis
-
Improve posture and mobility as the body changes
-
Reduce symptoms such as sciatica, pelvic pain, or rib and shoulder tension
-
Support circulation and relaxation
-
Prepare the body for labour and recovery after birth
Osteopathic treatment during pregnancy focuses on supporting the body’s natural adaptations while ensuring the comfort and safety of both mother and baby.
