- Balance of the pelvic and spinal region. Osteopaths release restrictions in these regions, opening the birth canal to the maximum extent.
- Correcting posture. Postural problems can create pressure in the pelvic region.
- Reducing the impact of hormonal changes. During pregnancy, hormonal changes can cause softening and instability in the ligaments.
- Reducing tension in the fascia and muscles. This helps the baby move into the optimal position for birth.
- Early diagnosis. During an osteopathic examination, structural problems that could lead to a difficult birth are identified.
