We offer gentle osteopathic support for
Pregnancy Discomforts
What are pregnancy-related discomforts?
Pregnancy is a unique and transformative time. As the body changes to support the growing baby, it could cause physical discomfort that can affect everyday activities and overall wellbeing.
Many women experience changes in posture, balance and movement during pregnancy. As your body adapts, this can sometimes be accompanied by feelings of tension or increased strain, commonly in areas such as the back, pelvis, hips or shoulders.
A holistic view of the body
Our osteopathic approach considers the body as a whole, including joints, muscles and movement patterns. We offer personalized guidance and gentle support, with the aim of helping you better understand the changes your body is experiencing.
Treatment and advice are always adapted to your stage of pregnancy and may include:
• Observing posture, movement and alignment
• Using gentle manual techniques appropriate for pregnancy
• Suggesting appropriate exercises or stretches to support day-to-day comfort
• Offering lifestyle advice tailored to your individual needs and goals
All support is provided in a way that complements the antenatal care you may already be receiving.
What you can expect
Every pregnancy experience is different. If you are considering whether osteopathic support may be helpful for you:
• We begin with a consultation about your current experience and what you hope to gain from treatment
• Together, we explore ways to support comfort and ease of movement within safe, gentle and regulated practice
• If any concerns fall outside our scope, we may suggest speaking with your midwife, GP or antenatal care team
Questions and first steps
If you are unsure whether this type of care is suitable for you, you are welcome to book a short, no-obligation conversation with a practitioner. This provides an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the approach.
