Osteopathy During Pregnancy

 

During pregnancy, the body is experiencing tremendous change. Between the physical, hormonal and emotional changes, the body and mind can benefit from extra support. This may also be an opportune time to address underlying or prior musculoskeletal issues as these phisiological changes are taking place. Osteopathic treatments are safe and very effective at gently relieving many pregnancy-related and post-partum symptoms, such as:  
 

•  Back pain

•  Acid reflux

•  Shortness of breath

•  Pelvic Pain and SPD

•  Breech or transverse position

•  Insomnia

•  Birth trauma

•  Post-partum depression/anxiety

​

Fetal position can greatly impact your labor and delivery. Regular osteopathic treatments can allow baby to move into the proper position for birth, including making space for breech presenting babies to turn to head-down position.
