Fertility, pregnancy & post-natal

During pregnancy the ligaments and muscles supporting your joints are weakened hormonally, and this can continue for up to 12 months after giving birth. The combination of weaker soft tissues and extra pressure on joints can be a recipe for pain and postural imbalance. We can offer treatment of both Cranial and classical Osteopathy to help alleviate pain, and give exercises and postural advice to help you cope with these difficult structural changes.

After the birth we offer Cranial Osteopathic treatment for mum and baby to release and relieve restrictions, and help to restore normal function to aid feeding, sleeping, breathing, digestion and posture helping mum and baby to feel more relaxed, calmer and less fretful, and allow baby to sleep and thrive, and mum to sleep more too.

Cranial Osteopathy offers a gentle and relaxing way for mum and baby to recover from the strong physical strain of pregnancy and birth.
