Osteopathy is a type of treatment utilizing skin contact and treatment to the musculoskeletal system as well as by treating its role and influence on health in general. An osteopath pregnancy specialist will perform gentle procedures aimed at improving range of motion, relieving pain and function of body systems in process.

Benefits of Osteopathy During Pregnancy:

• Less Backache and Pelvic Pain – Hormones produced during pregnancy and the enlargement of the baby causes a shift in the center of gravity which in turn results to backache and pelvic pain. Various osteopathic techniques can enhance articulation, relieve muscle hypertonicity, and improve posture alignment to relieve pain.
• Enhanced Circulation and Digestion – When your baby is in a growth spurt, he or she can exert pressure on your internal organs. So osteopathy can be used to facilitate acupuncture’s effects on increasing flow into and drainage from the hands and feet and aid the relief of more minor problems including constipation heartburn.
• Improved Sleep Quality: A common problem affecting sleeping patterns during pregnancy is discomfort. The pain and discomfort can be managed through osteopathy restoring healthy sleep.
• Labor Preparation: Having a correctly positioned and balanced pelvis may lead to less painful and quicker births. Osteopathy can assist with the positioning of the baby for birthing and also prepare the body for the child’s birth.
• Decreased Tension and Worry: It is quite well known that being pregnant can be quite stressful. Osteopathy can help you in reducing stress in a healthy way by calming and enhancing your well being.
