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.

This month Sophie and Dr Sunila are focusing on how acupuncture can support us through stressful and pressurised times... Stress and anxiety can manifest in many ways - whether it’s racing thoughts that keep you up at night, a pounding heart, or an unsettled stomach. These feelings are your body’s way of signaling that it’s sensing danger, even if the threat isn’t immediate. But when stress doesn’t switch off, it can feel like a pressure cooker building up inside. If left unchecked, this can lead to physical symptoms like tension headaches, digestive issues, or changes in your menstrual cycle. That’s where acupuncture can help. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, stress and anxiety disrupt the balance of Qi (energy) in the body and scatter the “Shen,” or spirit. Acupuncture helps to restore this balance, calming the mind and reconnecting the body. From a Western perspective, acupuncture regulates the nervous system, helping to reduce stress hormones while stimulating the production of serotonin and dopamine—the same ‘happy’ chemicals targeted by anti-anxiety medications. This makes acupuncture a truly complementary way to help you manage stress and anxiety over the long term. At the Acupuncture Collective, Sophie and Dr. Sunila offer treatments designed to bring your body and mind back into harmony. Whether you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or simply need a way to let off steam, acupuncture could be the vent you’ve been looking for. Needles in, stress out. Join Sophie and Dr. Sunila at the next Acupuncture Collective and take the first step toward finding your calm. Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Wednesday 18th February. Find out more and book via our bio.
