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.

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.

Sorry, only three weeks late!
But a big thank you to all the wonderful folks who donated £3 when they booked with Moon in September.
Your support means that other women in our community can access the support they need.
The Women Supporting Women Fund offers 40% subsidies for anyone who needs it, no questions asked.
Unfortunately there is quite a long waiting list at the moment, so if you're able to donate the price of a coffee next time you book, then you're a flipping 🌟
