Your body goes through enormous changes during pregnancy. These adaptations could result in back pain, pelvic pain, pubic symphysis disorder (PSD), round ligament pain affecting the lower abdomen and inner thighs, sciatic-type pain and rib pain.  The earlier these symptoms are addressed, the better for your pregnancy and your baby. Postural adaptations during pregnancy may affect not only the mother, leading to aches and pains but also the positioning and subsequent delivery of the baby.

Your Mobile Osteopath will help your body adapt to these changes. We aim to support you during this beautiful and unique experience and restore your balance.

Preparing for pregnancy:

While treatments like hormonal therapy and IVF play a role in fertility journeys, they can also be physically and emotionally demanding. Osteopathy can help by using manual therapy techniques to address the physical strains you might be experiencing in preparation for pregnancy.

Here’s why osteopathy might be beneficial for fertility:

• Pelvic Issues: Fertility issues can sometimes be linked to pelvic congestion syndrome, scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and lymphatic congestion in the pelvic area.
• Manual Techniques: Osteopathy uses gentle manual therapy techniques to release fascial restrictions, improve balance of ligaments, and promote better blood drainage and supply, stimulate lymphatic drainage – all of which can benefit the reproductive system.

If you’re looking for a mobile osteopath in London who can provide this kind of support, consider getting in touch with a practitioner specialising in women’s health.

Pelvic pain, incontinence:

Pelvic pain, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, pelvic congestion syndrome and incontinence can be very debilitating. Often the cause of your symptoms is not found. Your symptoms can be linked to structural restrictions, and muscular or fascial restrictions impeding normal physiology and restricting good blood supply or drainage to the organs of the pelvic cavity. Your osteopath aims to restore optimal health and improve your physiology. However, osteopathy sometimes might not be the only tool needed. Occasionally the best outcome is achieved working together with the gynaecologist and endometriosis or hormonal specialist.
