Osteopathy during pregnancy and after birth promotes physical well-being, relieves pain, and supports a gentle return to physical balance for mother and child.
osteopathy is as natural to the human body as a mother’s love for her baby. – andrew taylor still, founder of osteopathy
Osteopathy helps alleviate common pregnancy complaints such as back pain, heartburn, or sciatica and supports the return to physical balance after birth. During pregnancy, ligaments and tissues loosen to allow the pelvis to widen for childbirth. After birth, this loosening can lead to misalignments and tension in the pelvic and back areas.
Osteopathic treatments correct misalignments, reduce pain, and strengthen the stability of pelvis and spine. Combined with pelvic floor training, osteopathy can reduce incontinence, facilitate childbirth, and reduce back pain.
Holistic treatment approach
the treatment considers not only pelvis and spine but also breathing, cardiovascular system, diaphragm, and muscular connections—for sustainable pain relief and health.
Osteopathy for breast tension after birth
osteopathy can help with milk stasis or breast tension—always in consultation with the patient. Acute inflammations must be treated medically.
