Post-Natal & Osteopathy
Your body continues to adapt after your baby is born. Pregnancy, labour, feeding positions and carrying your baby can all contribute to back, pelvic, neck or shoulder discomfort.
Postnatal osteopathy provides an opportunity to focus on your own recovery and address areas of discomfort in a gentle and individualised way. Our treatments in West London are tailored to your individual needs, helping you feel more comfortable and supported during this important stage.
Postnatal osteopathy may be helpful for mothers experiencing:
-
Back, neck and shoulder tension
-
Muscle aches and soreness associated with feeding and carrying your baby
-
Pelvic and coccyx discomfort
-
Sciatica and lower back pain
-
Headaches and tension
-
General stiffness and muscular tension
Our osteopaths will take the time to understand your pregnancy, birth experience and current symptoms before creating a treatment approach that is appropriate for you.
A Personalised Approach to Postnatal Recovery
There is no single recovery timeline after giving birth. Whether you have had a vaginal birth or caesarean section, an uncomplicated delivery or a more challenging birth experience, we adapt our approach to you.
Treatment may focus on areas of tension and discomfort while also providing practical advice on posture, feeding positions, lifting and caring for your baby.
Our aim is to help you feel more comfortable and confident as your body adapts to life after pregnancy.
At Osteo London, we also work alongside Pilates instructors, yoga teachers and midwives in West London, allowing us to take a collaborative approach where appropriate. If further support or specialist assessment is needed, we can recommend the most suitable professional for your individual needs.
When Should You Have Postnatal Osteopathy?
There is no need to wait until you are experiencing significant discomfort before seeking advice. A postnatal osteopathic assessment can help you understand the physical changes your body has experienced and identify areas that may benefit from support during your recovery.
We recommend discussing any persistent or concerning symptoms with your GP, midwife or other appropriate healthcare professional.
Helping You Feel More Like Yourself Again
The early months with a new baby can be physically and emotionally demanding. Finding comfortable ways to feed, sleep, rest and care for your baby can make a real difference to your day-to-day wellbeing.
Our goal is to provide individualised postnatal osteopathic care, helping you manage physical discomfort, improve mobility and feel more confident as you adjust to your new routine.
