Osteopathy For a Healthy Pregnancy
OSTEOPATHY DURING PREGNANCY
Having the opportunity to help expectant mothers during and post-pregnancy is one of my favourite areas of my work. Pregnancy is a natural process which shouldn’t be seen as an illness, and Osteopathy can help to support the changes in the mother’s body as pregnancy progresses, important for the development of the unborn child and for the delivery.
There are many changes to the mother’s body that occur in a healthy pregnancy, including:
- the uterus and it’s ligaments increasing in size
Osteopathy For Babies & Children
Osteopathy can be an extremely gentle, yet effective form of treatment for babies & children.
A lot people wonder how a baby can possibly have anything wrong with their bodies and think that treatment is surely unnecessary, but bear in mind that the birthing process can be quite forceful and traumatic. In a “normal” birth the baby’s head will change shape, the small bones of the skull will slightly overlap to allow movement through the birth canal, often resulting in a slightly misshapen head.
