Osteopathy during pregnancy, pre, and post-natal support

Osteopathy in pregnancy is a very gentle non-invasive manual therapy that can restore balance to the body. Pregnancy can be amazing, but also taxing time on a woman's body. Throughout pregnancy, the body undergoes many changes as it adjusts and grows to accommodate a growing baby. As the baby grows, mama's body adapts. The body’s mechanics change, shifting the posture and changing where stress is placed upon the body. Hormone changes in pregnancy soften connective tissue which can exacerbate these stressors. Imbalances can become irritated or painful and restrictions in the tissues and joints can affect fluid flow causing swelling. These changing mechanics also means breathing can become more difficult. Osteopathy can help to support mama during this time by helping to ease some of these discomforts and imbalances. Additionally, osteopathy can provide support before and after childbirth as the body continues to adjust. Osteopathy can be an empowering and supportive modality for women during this transformation period.

Pediatrics

Osteopathy is a great treatment option for children and infants. Osteopathic treatments are gentle and non-invasive, so they can be used safely at any age. Taking your baby to an Osteopathic Practitioner after birth can have positive benefits as the baby has been growing in a small space. Treatments focus on helping the baby stretch and open up, which can help with digestion, latching, irritability, and more. Osteopaths can work on the musculoskeletal level, allowing them to detect blockages or pain points in children. A treatment plan would be laid out by your practitioner, typically children respond quickly to treatment with the healing taking place quickly and safely. With osteopathy, your child will be able to enjoy improved health, comfort, and mobility—allowing them to live a healthier life free of pain and discomfort.
