PREGNANCY CHECK
During pregnancy, posture shifts as the belly grows, the spine curves more, and weight distribution changes. This often leads to lower back pain, hip/pelvic pain, upper back and rib discomfort as well as neck and shoulder tension.
Osteopathy helps the body adapt to these changes more comfortably.
Using soft tissue techniques, gentle joint mobilisation, and postural balancing techniques, your therapist can :
reduce back pain and improve pelvic alignment
improve rib function and make breathing easier
support pelvic floor function and postural adaptation
reduce stress and improve sleep quality
