Pregnancy
Common complaints during pregnancy helped by Osteopathy include:
- back pain
- sciatica
- SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction)
- rib pain

Osteopathy is a safe and effective treatment during pregnancy. The techniques are specific yet gentle and take into account both mum and baby.
Osteopathic treatment supports the body’s ability to adjust and to compensate for the many changes occurring with pregnancy.
Pregnancy places unique physical demands on the body as it adapts to support both mother and baby, often leading to aches, pains, and changes in posture. Osteopathic treatment during pregnancy is gentle, safe, and tailored to each stage, helping to relieve common discomforts such as back pain, pelvic pain, hip tension, and general stiffness. By supporting balance, mobility, and overall comfort, osteopathy can help expectant mothers move more easily, feel more at ease in their changing bodies, and better enjoy the journey through pregnancy.
