Osteopathy & Pain Relief during Pregnancy

Osteopathy has shown to be a very safe and effective form of pain relief during pregnancy. During pregnancy, you may experience many physical, hormonal and emotional changes, which can have a direct impact on your muscles and joints.

Osteopathy provides a safe and effective form of pain relief during pregnancy, easing your journey through this important period. Advice from your osteopath can help you to change your posture and learn to use your body correctly through pregnancy.

Osteopaths specialising in treating during pregnancy are highly skilled practitioners, whose primary concern is the safety of the mother and her baby. A mixture of structural and cranial osteopathy may be used in treatment.

Cranial osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that encourages the release of stresses and tensions throughout the body. It can help to reduce back pain in pregnancy. It is a gentle yet extremely effective approach.
