Low back pain during pregnancy is very common, but medication cannot be taken, and rehabilitation is often not advised either. Osteopathy is a gentle, natural method that supports the body’s ability to heal itself.
1Benefits of osteopathy during pregnancy
- Support for pain-free movement — reducing the joint strain caused by weight gain and hormones
- Easier breathing — ensuring free movement of the diaphragm
- Restoring balance in the pelvis and lower back
- Improved blood circulation — less swelling in the legs
2Birth preparation
- Restrictions in the pelvic and spinal region are released so the birth canal can open to its fullest
- Resolving posture problems — less pressure in the pelvic region
- Reducing the discomfort caused by hormonal changes
- Reducing tension in the fasciae and muscles — helping the baby move into the optimal position
- Early diagnosis of structural problems that could lead to a difficult birth
The result: an easier birth for the mother, the baby moving into the correct position, reduced pelvic and low back pain, and a shorter postpartum recovery period.
