As your baby grows, your centre of gravity shifts, your ligaments soften (thanks to the hormone relaxin), and your spine, pelvis, and ribcage must continually adapt.
Our registered DOMP uses gentle, specific techniques to ease tension, restore joint mobility, and support your nervous system — all without medication, and all adapted to your stage of pregnancy.
Prenatal osteopathy is safe from the first trimester through to the final weeks of pregnancy. Many of our patients also continue with postpartum osteopathy after birth to support recovery.
Pregnancy is one of the most physically demanding experiences a body goes through. Osteopathy supports your body in adapting gracefully.
The most common pregnancy complaint. Increased lumbar lordosis and weight distribution shift put strain on your lower spine.
Affecting the SI joints and pubic symphysis, PGP causes difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or rolling in bed.
Sharp, radiating pain from the lower back down one leg. Common as the growing uterus puts pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Sharp, stabbing groin pain from stretching of the round ligaments supporting the uterus — very common in the second trimester.
As baby grows and occupies more space, ribs splay and thoracic mobility decreases, causing mid-back and rib discomfort.
Gentle pelvic and uterine ligament work in the third trimester to support space for baby to find ideal positioning for birth.
Swelling during pregnancy can compress the median nerve, causing tingling, numbness, and pain in the hands and wrists.
Postural changes and stress during pregnancy contribute to cervical tension and headaches. Gentle cranial work provides relief.
Your first prenatal osteopathy session is 60-75 minutes. Here's exactly what happens.
We begin with a thorough intake — pregnancy history, current symptoms, your birth plan, and any concerns. We want to understand your whole picture, not just your pain point.
We gently assess your posture, spinal curves, pelvic alignment, and how your body is adapting to pregnancy. This guides the treatment plan.
Using soft tissue techniques, joint mobilization, fascial release, and gentle cranial work — all adapted for pregnancy. You'll be positioned comfortably (side-lying, semi-reclined — never face down after the first trimester).
We'll share specific stretches, positioning advice, and postural tips to extend the benefit of your session between visits.
We'll recommend how many sessions make sense for your specific presentation and stage of pregnancy — no generic protocols, just what's right for you.
Osteopathic care doesn't stop at birth. Many of our prenatal patients continue with postpartum care — and bring their babies in for pediatric treatment too.
