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.

The Summer Solstice is with us - the longest day of the year, a time for light and optimism. This is an opportunity to re-engage with the natural world and take respite from the overwhelm of the modern structures of humanity, from technology to our political landscape.
By rooting ourselves back into the rhythm of the seasons, and marking the passage of the sun across the sky, we echo those who came before, taking our place as a link between the past and the future. For a short moment we can allow the daily pressures to melt away, as we glimpse the wider context of our existence.
By marking the seasonal changes we also bookmark the passage of time in our own lives. It becomes a memory touchstone, to reach out to as we remember where we’ve been (metaphorically and physically), where we are and where we’re going to.
So press pause, allow yourself to be absorbed back into the rhythms of the natural world, take note of the turning of the year. Do something different, something you’ll remember in the years to come, even if that’s a long walk on the Heath, without your phone, fitness tracking device, digital watch etc. etc. etc.… I dare you…
Much love.
