Osteopathy and physiotherapy are effective and safe treatments for pregnancy and postpartum. They aim to improve functionality, reduce pain, and balance the body after childbirth.
Pregnancy and childbirth place great strain on the female body. The growing belly leads to increased mechanical stress on all structures, joints, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue, especially in the lower back and pelvis. Additionally, the physiological impact during pregnancy includes increased blood volume, changes in lung function and blood pressure, and hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Recognizing that all the body’s structures are interconnected and reliant on each other’s functions, we take a comprehensive approach to examination and treatment. We employ osteopathic manipulative techniques (OMT), which encompass manipulations, mobilizations, stretching techniques, and muscle energy techniques, to ensure that every aspect of your well-being is considered and addressed.
We also instruct in relevant exercises and training and provide appropriate advice on a healthy lifestyle. The treatment is individually tailored and based on your symptoms.
