Pregnancy is an incredible journey—one filled with joy, change, and sometimes, unexpected physical challenges. As an osteopath and a mum to a busy toddler, I truly understand the physical and emotional shifts that come with this special time. That’s why I am passionate about helping women feel supported, comfortable, and strong throughout their pregnancy and beyond.
How Osteopathy Can Help
Your body is constantly adapting during pregnancy, making space for your growing baby. With these changes can come discomfort, tension, and misalignment, but osteopathic treatment provides gentle, hands-on support to help restore balance and ease pain.
Some of the most common pregnancy-related concerns I treat include:
✅ Lower Back & Pelvic Pain – As your posture shifts, extra pressure on the lower back and pelvis can cause discomfort. Osteopathic techniques can release tension and restore mobility.
✅ Sciatic & Nerve Pain – Postural adjustments and increased weight-bearing can compress nerves, leading to shooting pain down the legs. Gentle techniques can help relieve discomfort and restore movement.
✅ Breathlessness & Rib Tightness – As your baby grows, your diaphragm and rib cage work harder to accommodate these changes. Osteopathy can improve rib mobility, making breathing easier and more comfortable.
✅ Leg Cramps & Circulation Issues – Many women experience painful cramps, often at night. Osteopathic care can support circulation, ease muscle tension, and promote better movement.
✅ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – Swelling and fluid retention can cause tingling or numbness in the hands and wrists. Gentle manual therapy can help relieve pressure and improve function.
✅ Digestive Issues & Reflux – Hormonal shifts and pressure on the digestive system can lead to bloating or reflux. Osteopathy may help promote better digestive function and comfort.
A Personal & Holistic Approach
Having been through pregnancy myself, I know that every woman’s journey is unique. My approach is not just about symptom relief—it’s about empowering you to move well, feel great, and embrace this incredible time with confidence. Whether you need hands-on treatment, movement advice, or simple changes to improve your daily comfort, I’m here to support you.
Beyond Pregnancy: Postpartum Recovery
The postpartum period is just as important as pregnancy when it comes to caring for your body. From post-birth aches to the physical demands of feeding and carrying your little one, osteopathy can help ease tension and restore balance as you recover.
Motherhood is a beautiful but demanding experience, and prioritizing your own well-being allows you to care for your baby with greater ease and energy.
