OSTEOPATHY AND PREGNANCY
Osteopathy offers a holistic approach to preparing for childbirth and the post-partum period, focusing on restoring balance and body functionality. During pregnancy, the body undergoes many transformations to adapt to the growth of the baby, which can cause discomfort such as lumbar pain, sciatica, muscle tension and posture problems. Osteopathy can help relieve these symptoms through manual techniques that reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility and promote blood and lymphatic circulation.
In addition, osteopathy can be valuable to prepare the body for childbirth, working on the mobility of the pelvis and the functionality of the pelvic system to facilitate childbirth. During labor itself, some osteopaths may also provide support through relaxation techniques and pain management.
After delivery, osteopathy can help the body recover from pregnancy and childbirth, addressing any muscle or joint imbalances caused by extra weight and postural changes during pregnancy, as well as birthing positions. In addition, it can help reduce pain and promote pelvic floor recovery, essential for long-term well-being and functionality.
In short, osteopathy can be a valuable ally to prepare the body for pregnancy and childbirth, as well as to promote recovery and well-being in the post-partum period, contributing to improving the comfort and quality of life during this important period in a woman’s life.
