Osteopathy to prepare for pregnancy and recover after childbirth
· 3 min read
After giving birth, my lower back ached and my pelvis felt strained. I came to help my body get back into shape — not 'instead of a gynecologist'
How it usually goes
People come in with two kinds of requests. The first is preparing the body for pregnancy and birth: releasing old tension and addressing posture and pelvic mobility ahead of time. The second is recovering after childbirth, when the lower back aches, the pelvis feels strained, and the body hasn't settled back into its usual state
An osteopath works with what belongs to the body: mobility of the pelvis and spine, posture, and tension left over from pregnancy and childbirth. For expecting mothers, the practice offers a course of three sessions
Pregnancy is managed by an obstetrician-gynecologist — they're responsible for the health of mother and baby and for any medical decisions. Osteopathy here is about the body and how it feels, a complement to the doctor's care, not a replacement for it
If you were hoping an osteopath would replace your gynecologist — that's not what's offered here
