Pregnancy is a time of big changes for the female body as it expands to accomodate the growing baby. If you're pregnant, take a moment to pat yourself on the (albeit sore) back because it's honestly amazing what the female body can do! I love treating pregnant women because it is such a mind-blowing display of the human body's ability to change and adapt as it brings new life.
As the baby grows, more strain is placed on joints and muscles which can cause discomfort and pain. It is very common to experience this pregnancy related pelvic girdle, back and hip pain, especially towards the end of the pregnancy. Osteopathy can help in the management of low back pain, hip tightness, sciatic nerve pain and pelvic girdle pain including pubic symphysis and sacroiliac joint pain.
But you don't have to suffer!!!
Osteopaths use many different treatment methods to help reduce muscular and ligamentous tension and improve joint mobility. We also give advice on how to manage your changing body throughout pregnancy and can prescribe exercises to help. Osteopaths aim to keep the body and mind at ease throughout pregnancy in preparation for birth.
Every woman, pregnancy and baby is different, so I always individualise my treatment based on patient presentation and needs.
