Pregnancy
Osteopathy during pregnancy
Physical complaints may arise during pregnancy. Treatment by an osteopath can provide relief.
Pregnancy is a unique phase in which the female body undergoes significant changes, including hormonal shifts, weight gain and a change in weight distribution that can put pressure on organs, bones, muscles and joints. These changes can cause symptoms or aggravate existing ones, especially if there was already a “weak back” before pregnancy, for example, which can cause the body to strain more quickly.
What can the osteopath do for pregnancy symptoms?
The use of osteopathy during pregnancy is highly recommended.
During an initial treatment, the cause of the symptoms will be examined. Does it lie in limited mobility of a vertebra, the pelvis or the sacrum? Another cause of pregnancy symptoms may be decreased mobility of the region of the diaphragm and chest.
Through gentle massages, the osteopath can restore the loss of range of motion so that the symptoms diminish or disappear altogether.
On average, 4 to 5 treatments are needed to relieve symptoms as far as osteopathy in pregnancy is concerned.
