Osteopathy - Postnatal

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a beautiful approach to the harmony and health of the living body. 

Osteopathy can facilitate and support this process by restoring movement, undo patterns of holding and bracing and acknowledge emotional components manifesting somatically in our bodies. 

As an Osteopath I use gentle, hands-on treatments to recreate your body’s natural equilibrium, relieving pain and discomfort. Each treatment is unique resulting from a systematic assessment and diagnosis. Osteopathy helps to restore the optimal function of your body, allowing it to heal itself naturally.

How can Osteopathy support your recovery after giving birth?

Recovering from childbirth can take time, regardless of how smoothly the delivery went—and even more so if the birth was complicated. Giving birth is a physically demanding experience for every mother, and the recovery process can sometimes be overlooked in the midst of caring for a newborn.

However, the postpartum period is an ideal time to address any residual discomfort, as a woman’s body is often highly responsive in the weeks following labour.

Osteopathy can help you regain your strength and health, making it easier to meet the demands of new motherhood. Osteopathy can help you with:

  • Post-natal check-up to support your well-being
  • Rebalance any strains from pregnancy, birth and handling baby
  • Nervous system regulation
  • Coming home to your body

Also, if you’ve had a long or challenging labour, postnatal treatment can be particularly beneficial. Osteopathy can:

  • Speed up your recovery by helping your body recover from the physical shock of birth
  • Prevent long-term back and pelvic issues

Please note that treatment may leave you feeling a little tired afterward, so I recommend avoiding vigorous exercise for 48 hours following your appointment.

Typically, a treatment plan involves 2-4 sessions.

💙 Beat the Blues this Monday 💙 The Acupuncture Collective Appointments available 2pm - 8pm (last few spots left) Monday 10th November SAD, otherwise known as seasonal affective disorder, can hit hard, as the clocks turn back in October, and the daylight fades...   What is SAD? MIND, the mental health organisation, describe SAD's symptoms as difficulty in concentrating, feeling sad, guilty or hopeless, being more prone to illnesses such as colds and infections, sleeping too long or too little and changes in hunger or sexual interest.   It is a reaction to seasonal changes in daylight, which disrupts our body clock and hormones like serotonin, which affect mood, appetite and sleep. 🌟 But here’s the good news 🌟   Acupuncture is the answer to our hormonal prayers! It helps regulate our nervous system, calming us down or energising us, depending on which points around the body are focused on. It also helps boost serotonin and melatonin, which boost our mood and help us sleep.    We can also use acupuncture to strengthen our immune system, by using points on the Lung Meridian and tonify what the ancient Chinese called Wei Qi! Go on… Google it! All that and the loving embrace of our warm, friendly group clinic...   See you on 10th November... Find out more and book via the link in our bio.

Today we are welcoming the darkness at Samhain/Halloween… Traditionally, in Celtic and other communities, this evening would mark the transition between the lighter half of the year and the darker half. Transitions and womanhood feel synonymous, as we travel through life, with the rhythms of our bodies. I wonder if we feel the transitions of the natural world more keenly because of this... Some believe that at this time of year the division between this world and the 'otherworld' is at its thinnest, allowing spirits to pass through. Ancestors are honoured and invited home, while harmful spirits are warded off. People wear costumes and masks, disguising themselves as harmful spirits, to ward off unwanted attention from the actual spirits. Image from the wonderfully talented @tijanadraws
