Many women experience back pain during pregnancy, it is a time of great change, not only to your life but also to the body. These musculoskeletal changes are caused by changes in weight and posture as the baby or babies grow and also by hormonal changes preparing the body for childbirth.
Benefits of Osteopathy During Pregnancy
Osteopathy whilst pregnant can help alleviate some of the symptoms typically associated with pregnancy:
- Sciatica
- Aches and pains (e.g. Back pain)
- Pubic symphysis pain (Dysfunction)
- Groin or abdominal pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Heartburn
An Osteopath can also:
- Advise exercises or breathing techniques
- Recommend in regards flexibility in the pelvis and abdomen to help with the adaptive changes the body has to go through in pregnancy.
- Provide advice and help to recover after birth
Benefit of Osteopathic Treatment After Birth:
After birth, it is advisable that the mother and (baby) come for a check-up and, if necessary, for treatment.
Osteopathy after pregnancy can:
- Ensure your body recovers and returns back to how it was
- Help you regain your strength and flexibility
- Check and correct any remaining strains in the back and pelvis that can be a result of the labour or pregnancy.
