Pregnancy is an exciting time of life filled with wonder and joy. Osteopathy during pregnancy is equally exciting. During pregnancy, the female body shows enormous ability to adapt and compensate. The uterus, abdomen and the birth canal stretch to a remarkable size, and post birth, can return to pre-pregnancy size relatively quickly. The growing foetus’ need for nutrients and its continued waste production put huge demands on the mother’s body, and yet, she is capable of feeling and looking as healthy as she has ever been. Hormonal changes mean altered moods, cravings and structurally, the body ligaments become looser. With these extra demands on the body, it is not uncommon for a pregnant woman to suffer from back and joint pain, especially lower back, leg, pelvic, shoulder and neck pain. Osteopathy is a gentle and effective form of treatment able to reduce pain and discomfort, increase mobility and aid the body’s physiology in order for the mother and foetus to achieve optimal wellness. Further, Osteopathy can aid the body in readiness for the birthing process. Just as importantly and regardless of any specific problems that may arise, Osteopathy can help both mother and baby to recuperate and thrive after the trauma of labour.
