Pregnancy Osteopathy in Redhill & Reigate, Surrey
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosing, treating, and preventing health problems by moving, stretching, and massaging the body’s muscles, spine and joints.
During pregnancy, mothers-to-be experience a wealth of hormonal and physical changes while carrying their baby in preparation for childbirth. Progressive adaptations occur through the three trimesters to accommodate the developing foetus. Ligaments soften, the curvature of the spine changes, and your overall posture is altered. The growing baby gradually moves your centre of gravity forward, which exaggerates the arching of the lower back and places additional mechanical stress on the body. There’s increased pressure on the spine, muscles, and ligaments.
A pregnancy osteopath will work to find your body’s balance through all stages of your pregnancy, helping to prepare your body for giving birth and into the postnatal period.
