As your belly grows, it’s common to feel sore, stiff, and tired. Your back may ache, your hips can feel tight, and your legs might swell. Our gentle, drug-free osteopathic care offers natural relief from these common pregnancy discomforts without medicine and machines.

Pregnancy with osteopathy uses light touch, gentle stretches, and small movements to support your muscles, joints, and posture as your body changes. Many moms have said they feel more relaxed and balanced during their course of treatment, some with a few visits.

When to Seek Osteopathy During Pregnancy

You can start seeing an osteopath at any time during your pregnancy. Some moms begin early to help with morning sickness and to ease anxiety, especially if they’ve had a tough experience in the past. In the first trimester, gentle care can also support your nervous system and give your body a calm foundation as things begin to change.

By the second and third trimesters, your body starts to feel the weight of your growing baby. That’s when osteopathy can help the most with posture, back pain, and getting ready for labor. Treatments can improve alignment, give your joints some relief, and help your baby get into a better position for birth.
