Osteopathy and pre natal and post natal pelvic and back pain

Osteopaths are highly effective at treating pre-natal and post-natal back and pelvic pain because they understand the significant physical and hormonal changes that occur during and after pregnancy. As the body adapts to a growing baby, shifts in posture, increased joint laxity, and altered weight distribution can place strain on the lower back, pelvis, hips, and surrounding muscles. Osteopaths use gentle, safe, hands-on techniques tailored specifically for pregnancy and the post-partum period to reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and support better alignment. Treatment can help relieve common issues such as pelvic girdle pain, sacroiliac joint discomfort, sciatica, and upper back strain from feeding and carrying a baby. In addition, osteopaths provide practical advice on posture, lifting techniques, feeding positions, and rehabilitation exercises, helping mothers recover more comfortably and regain strength and stability.
