During the 40 weeks of pregnancy the body goes through immense change to cope with carrying a growing baby.

These changes can put large amounts of stress on the body and commonly lead to

Pelvic instability

Back pain

Sciatica

During pregnancy your body produces large amount of “Relaxin” a hormone that allows increased laxity of ligaments to allow room for the growing baby. However, this can also lead to instability of the pelvis and place extra load on the body muscular system. These compensations can lead to pain and imbalance.

Osteopaths aim at correcting resultant imbalances as well as strengthening surrounding structures to increase stability and decrease pain.

Osteopaths can help through all stages of pregnancy as well helping a future mother prepare her body in anticipation of pregnancy and also cope with post pregnancy aches and pains.
