Pregnancy Clinic
During pregnancy, the body undergoes immense physical changes both structurally and hormonally in a very short space of time. As the body adapts to the growing baby, it is common to experience pains and osteopaths are qualified to help relieve those symptoms.
Treatment is gentle with massage techniques and where required, gentle joint manipulation. The safety of the mother and baby are paramount at all times.
Problems commonly treated in the Pregnancy Clinic include:
- SPD (pubis symphysis dysfunction)
- Sciatica
- Heartburn, indigestion
- Low Back and Pelvis Pain
- Mid back & Neck Pain

Osteopathy is also beneficial for women with fertility issues and endometriosis.
