Women’s Health Osteopathy
Women’s Health Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic approach that focuses on the integral structure of your body and evaluates how muscles, bones and connective tissues work together. It works towards fixing the causes of conditions and restoring your bodies natural balance. Osteopathy is not a treatment that merely treats the symptoms.
Osteopathy for Women is extremely useful both during and after pregnancy. Although pregnancy is mostly a happy and joyous event for many women, it can also be very challenging from a physical perspective. Postural changes combined with hormonal changes within the body and the extra weight of the baby can put a lot of strain on the bodies structure. Osteopathy treatments designed especially for pregnant women (and women who have recently given birth) can be extremely helpful when it comes to managing physical changes caused by pregnancy.
Osteopathy for pregnancy
During pregnancy, Osteopathy can play a vital role in alleviating the pain and discomfort in various areas of the body. Osteopathic techniques can also help pregnant women prepare for labour and less painful delivery.

Osteopathy can help many common musculoskeletal women’s health problems and a variety of different conditions; not just those that are pregnancy related. From teenage years to postmenopausal years, Osteopathy could be a helpful treatment.
