Preparation for birth
If a woman’s spine and pelvis are mobile and all relevant muscles relaxed, then the birth process can be better facilitated. Treatment aims to prepare the body for the labour process.
Post-natal care
Postnatal treatment is recommended to help the body return to the pre-pregnant state, treat any residual trauma from the birth and avoid possible and unnecessary complications in later pregnancies.
Postnatal problems such as headaches, coccyx pain and pelvic pains generally respond very well to osteopathic treatment.
