Osteopathic care is considered safe during pregnancy, particularly after the first trimester, and can offer significant relief from common physical discomforts experienced during this time.

Research supports its effectiveness in alleviating pregnancy-related lower back pain, and many women also report improvement in symptoms such as indigestion, constipation, reflux, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

Following birth, osteopathic treatment can support the body’s recovery by addressing joint strains and postural changes that may have developed during pregnancy and labour. We often see new mothers experiencing discomfort in the hips, lower back, pelvis, and ribcage as these areas undergo considerable strain during the four trimesters.

Gentle, targeted treatment can help restore balance and mobility, aiding in a more comfortable postnatal recovery.

Can I bring my baby or child to my appointment?

Yes, and we are on the ground floor so it is very easy to enter the clinic with a buggy or pram.

“Yasmin’s treatments gave me relief from the first session, as well as giving me helpful exercises to continue strengthening at home. After my c-section, her help has been crucial in my recovery as her treatments have relieved my pain and allowed me to restart exercising and be able to physically care for and play with my family.”
