Pregnancy

Common complaints during pregnancy helped by Osteopathy include:
  • back pain
  • sciatica
  • SPD (symphysis pubis dysfunction)
  • rib pain
  • headaches
  • shortness of breath
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.

I can’t rate Eb highly enough. After years of enduring hip pain and attending various physiotherapists and chiropractors and resigning myself to having to live the discomfort, Eb has been able to resolve my problem and within a short timeframe. Will be forever grateful

When life throws a curved ball and I over stretch my body causing back pain I call southside Osteopath. Neill has the experience to assess the misalignment and the skill to realign and relieve the pain and pressure. Thank you Neill.

Neil is an absoloute legend. I've been in severe pain for the past 8 months (neck, jaw, traps) due to a combination of injury & stress. It's impacted my day to day massively and I have literally tried anything, from accupuncture over tmj massages, physio - you name it. Nothing has worked. I'm 5 weeks in with Neil and I'm like a changed person. He listens & understands & he makes you feel very comfortable. Would 100% reccommend Neil for your injuries.

Highly recommend Neil in Southside Osteopaths! I brought my little Boy (11weeks) due to generalised discomfort and poor sleep. Neil was able to extrapolate the issues from a very tired mum and within three sessions brought about a huge positive change in my baby’s comfort and sleep!

I've been here with my baby who was struggling with dyschezia, he was always with such a desperate cry and so tense... Neil really helped, now our baby is such a calmer and happier baby! Definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful experience with Neil! From the very first visit, he was attentive, professional and carefully caring. He listened my concerns and explained what was going on with my body. After a few sessions I noticed improvement and reduction of pain.My daughter 17 years old also likes Neil’s approach. I highly recommend Neil O’Connell to anyone looking for effective osteopathic treatment! Best wishes, Nathalie

I’ve been seeing Neil for several months now, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He takes the time to truly understand the root of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms. Every session is thorough, professional, and tailored to my needs🥰

Neil at Southside Osteopaths has really helped me move away from pain and gain better movement. He is very knowledgeable and really gets to the source of any imbalance causing problems. I would highly recommend him.
