A woman’s body changes during pregnancy. Those changes include the softening of ligaments, weight increase and changes to posture, which can lead to additional pressure on joints in various parts of the body, including the spine or pelvis.

​

Osteopathy may help relieve the stresses and strains on your body during pregnancy and after birth. It can also help with any discomfort that may arise from looking after the newborn.

Osteopaths are trained to treat women during and after pregnancy with safe and gentle techniques. Osteopaths are trained to screen for medical conditions and will tell you if you need to see another health professional such as your doctor or midwife.
