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. During treatment a full medical history is taken and examination of baby will be very thorough including gentle assessment of tension and imbalance and treatment where the practitioner gently holds and allow the structures to release themselves with minimal to no force needed. Babies respond very well to treatment and will usually sleep very well after.

Benefits for Mum:

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.
