Osteopathy and Pregnancy

Pregnancy affects the body in numerous ways and causes many changes especially to the patterns of weight bearing and the structures around the pelvis. Osteopaths can help women adjust to these changes throughout their pregnancy and after the birth minimizing complications and achieving greater comfort and ease.

Osteopathy can assist in keeping you mobile throughout your pregnancy and help reduce any pelvic, back, shoulder and neck pain which can be common during pregnancy.
