About Pregnancy Osteopathy
Some expectant mothers experience aches and pains throughout (and sometimes after) their pregnancy, but stoically put up with it thinking it is normal.
It’s important to remember pregnancy is not a disease! There is quite often an answer to the symptoms of pain and discomfort you may be experiencing. Osteopathy is a safe and effective way of treating symptoms throughout pregnancy as we can modify our techniques to whatever stage you’re at.
Osteopathy During Pregnancy
People sometimes express apprehension in coming for treatment during pregnancy. Feeling hesitant to seek physical therapy is natural, but rest assured that at The Courtyard Clinic we have lots of experience and have seen many mothers throughout their pregnancy and beyond. Our osteopaths will take an extensive medical and personal history before they start any treatment to ensure its suitability and talk you through every stage, working with you and your body.
There are gentle Osteopathic stretching and mobilising techniques which are very beneficial to improve posture, and soft tissue techniques to help calm tight muscles and encourage circulation. These help to improve your body’s function and decrease unpleasant symptoms.
