Osteopathy for Women's Health

Pregnancy is a time of great change in a mother’s body, and along with that can come all sorts of aches and pains like:

• Back and neck pain
• Pubic symphysis pain
• Breathlessness and heartburn
• Ligament pain

It’s hard work growing another human! Osteopathy’s approach to treating through pregnancy is from the feet up. The techniques are tailored to be safe and gentle, and our osteopaths can treat all sorts of things with the patient lying comfortably on their side. As well as treating pregnancy related musculoskeletal pain, we can assist with preparing your body for birth, and with your postnatal recovery.

Our osteopaths are trained in treating and managing a range of breast conditions, including:

• Mastitis
• Blocked ducts
• Engorgement
• Breast feeding support
• Scar release

We use a variety of techniques tailored to each condition, such as hands on treatment, ultrasound, self-management strategies, advice and when necessary, referral recommendations.
