Pregnancy Osteopathy

Pregnancy Osteopathy

During pregnancy the body undergoes many physiological and physical changes.

It is a time when muscles and ligaments soften. Hormonal changes (the action of relaxin and oestrogen) increase fluid uptake in collagen fibres, making the spine and pelvis more flexible. Often, these changes may cause discomfort and pain. As back pain is present in 75% of pregnancies it is almost considered normal. However, your pregnancy should be as pain free as possible.

Osteopathy is a safe and effective treatment that can help relieve those aches and pains when medication use is limited. It can also prepare the body for birth by balancing and re-aligning your body to better cope with the increasing load and strain on the joints and pelvis.

As your body changes we will advise you on dos and don’ts and how to adapt to these changes such as exercise, stretches, sleeping positions, work posture, circulation…Each phase of your pregnancy has different needs.

"Had an amazing experience with Iona. She helped me with knee pain and rehabilitation after surgery. Very skilled and trustworthy osteopath with great anatomy knowledge. Highly recommended!"

Diana Cipriano

"Iona really helped me to return to working out post partum. She did a thorough check with the Mommy MOT and then recommended a customised plan for me. Her work on my back also provided immediate relief. Highly recommend her for all post partum moms who want to return to activity and feeling better faster!"

Brenna Hanley

"I can highly recommend this practice for pediatric and postpartum osteopathic treatments. Iona is very professional and friendly, she always explains what she is doing and why. She also gave me massage techniques and exercises to do at home. I have been attending sessions myself to help with postpartum pains and have been bringing my newborn regularly (issues with breastfeeding, neck mobility restriction that resulted in a flat head). I could see improvements with my health and with my daughter’s movements after each session. Highly recommend Iona."

Yulia Vylegzhanina

"Amazing service and experience for my newborn baby. Eglantine is extremely knowledgeable, health conscious and gentle, and I feel my little girl really benefited from her sessions. Will definitely be back!"

Ashley Racine

"Magic hands, I don’t know how it works but I love it! Eglantine is great, I wish I could go once a week"

Oliver Nice

"I have been going to Eglantine for a couple of years and she always fixes any issues with my body. I would highly recommend anyone to go to Eglantine."

Corey Cummins

"I went to see Eglantine after falling down some steps and badly injuring my back a few months before. I was not healing as I had hoped and couldn’t get back to exercise, and after multiple unhelpful trips to the doctor, I was in desperate need of a treatment. Eglantine was fantastic! She was very thorough, and took the time to find out exactly what was going on with the muscles in my back…"
