Osteopathy & Pregnancy

During pregnancy enormous physical, chemical and emotional changes take place over a relatively short period of time. The body has to get used to carrying the baby, water and placenta, which can impose great physical strain on the organs, tissues, joints and ligaments of the body. In order for the pregnant body to adapt to all these changes it has to find new ways to walk, sit and sleep, which may result in new aches and pains arising. As each trimester progresses, the growth and position of the baby effects the stress being placed in different areas of the neck, back and hips, which can result in various areas of discomfort for an expectant mother.

Benefits of Osteopathy During And After Pregnancy

Osteopathic treatment while pregnant can ease some of the muscular-skeletal symptoms:

Aches and pains (back pain, neck and shoulder pain, muscular tension)

An Osteopathic manual practitioner can also:

Provide advice on stretches and exercise you can do to maintain your health and wellbeing throughout your pregnancy
Help improve flexibility and strength
Help you to physically adapt to your new life as a mother (i.e postural issues/back pain)
Help you with any remaining muscular-skeletal issues

I went to see Manjot for upper back and shoulder pain that was starting to make it difficult to carry my 7 month old son for long periods of time. Over two sessions Manjot was able to release the tension in my back significantly and provided some useful exercises to help improve my back. The pain is now significantly less and I know who I will return to if it comes back again!

Jessica | CEO
For years I was suffering with neck and shoulder pain, which became unbearable. A friend suggested going to an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, since everything else that I had done in the past was no longer working for me I took a chance that this treatment may help. I made the appointment and since I had no idea what to expect was amazed with the results! First, Manjot took a through history and spent time getting to know how my pain occurred and how my life style might affect it. As she began the treatment, I felt movement in my neck and shoulder becoming much easier and less painful to deal with. I experienced full range of motion with reduced pain after my second treatment and today I have full range of motion without pain. Her personal disposition is both warm and caring, immediately putting you at ease. I will have no hesitation in either using Manjot services again should the need arise, or recommending her to anyone looking for an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner.
