Osteopathy for your pregnancy
A safe and gentle approach to pre- and post-natal care
Your osteopath can help prevent or manage a wide range of pre- and post-natal conditions and work with your LMC or other health professional as needed. At our osteopathy clinic on the North Shore, we provide safe and effective manual therapy for mothers and babies. Your osteopath carefully selects the most appropriate treatment to suit you as an individual, ensuring the safety and comfort of you and your growing baby.
During pregnancy, your body undergoes many dramatic changes, which can put extra stress on you. Some women experience back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica, shortness of breath, and a range of other discomforts that your osteopath may be able to help with.
The aim of your osteopath is to assist the natural process of pregnancy and birth, maximizing your body's ability to adapt and support you and your baby with minimal pain and discomfort. Along with providing gentle hands-on treatment, your osteopath can offer advice on managing these symptoms.
Optimal pelvic mobility and alignment are essential for a smooth birth, and your osteopath on the North Shore can help address any musculoskeletal strains that may affect the process. After the birth, your osteopath can assist with issues like pelvic, back, or neck pain, pelvic floor weakness, or any other discomforts you may face as a result of childbirth or caring for a newborn.
Additionally, your baby may benefit from osteopathy as well—don't hesitate to ask your osteopath about how they could help.
