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.

Very excited by the latest artwork to grace the walls of Moon. Inspired by the 100th anniversary of the Ladies' Pond, and crafted by local artist Jen Cable. The ponds hold a special place in many of our hearts, each of us with our own stories entwined into its waters. There's even a specific term for the calming, meditative, and peaceful state that being in or near natural water creates. Blue Mind. Jen was first introduced to its charms by her grandma, some 50 years ago, and once you've had the experience, it never leaves you. In Jen's words...

There's even a specific term for the calming, meditative, and peaceful state that being in or near natural water creates. Blue Mind. Jen was first introduced to its charms by her grandma, some 50 years ago, and once you've had the experience, it never leaves you. In Jen's words... "In winter I ease slowly down the ladder to meet the dark, icy chill that wakes up every nerve in my body.  A brief minute, or at most two, then it's out, past the icicles and off to a cafe to warm up whilst my skin tingles with joy.  In summer, moorhens, mandarin ducks and mallards swim by with their chicks from nests built on the life buoys and I bask in the cool sparkle of the water, staring up at the blue sky." What about you?  Where are you cooling off?  We'd love to hear your stories of the pond in its centenary year.  Or, if you've never been, then maybe this is the year to try; it's a magical place.5 days ago
