Osteopathy for Mum and Baby, explaining how this treatment can be of benefit in various situations.

The session will cover the following:

Osteopathy is a way of looking at the body’s structure (i.e. the musculoskeletal system) and finding, then treating any imbalances that are causing pain, stiffness or discomfort. By dealing with these, the body is then able to function efficiently and in balance. Osteopathic treatment offers a wonderfully gentle way of helping the body to adapt to the changes which are taking place during pregnancy, helping to relieve aches and pains as the mother’s body tries to accommodate the growing baby.

Being pregnant is an amazing experience, which has highs and lows throughout. Osteopathy can support you physically and emotionally and help you to deal with any issues during the pregnancy, during the labour, and recovery afterwards for you and your baby.
