During pregnancy, the rapid changes in the body can cause women a variety of discomforts and pains. At this stage, osteopathy is very helpful as a safe and painless therapy.
1Benefits of osteopathy during pregnancy
- Support for pain-free movement. Weight gain and the effect of hormones can cause tension in the joints and muscles. Osteopathic techniques reduce this tension.
- Easier breathing. As the womb grows, pressure in the abdominal cavity increases. Osteopathy allows the diaphragm to move freely.
- Balance for the pelvis and lower back. It is effective in preventing the pain that arises in the late stages of pregnancy.
- Improved circulation. Reduces swelling and the feeling of heaviness in the legs.
This approach protects both mother and baby. Don’t ignore discomfort in the back, pelvis and lower back.
We look not at where the pain is, but at where it comes from.
