Osteopathy for the expectant mother
Before pregnancy
Osteopathy can create optimal conditions for a harmonious and relaxed pregnancy. For example, old scar adhesions after operations or vertebral blockages, that make conception difficult, can be removed.
During pregnancy
During this time, the woman is particularly sensitive. The osteopath accompanies the emotional and physical changes of the expectant mother. Static changes, for example, can cause back pain, which can be treated. Also in case of water retention it is possible to improve the venolymphatic return flow by means of osteopathy. Furthermore, it is important to create good biomechanical conditions of the pelvis for the birth.
After pregnancy
Depending on the course of the pregnancy and birth, complaints such as headaches or back pain due to instability, fatigue and exhaustion to postpartum depression may occur, which possibly have structural causes and can be eliminated by osteopathy. The osteopath also treats the autonomic nervous system in the case of breastfeeding difficulties or during regression, in order to support hormonal regulation.
Baby & Children Osteopathy
Babies and children are not small adults
The tissue of infants and children is still growing and is particularly sensitive. Treatment requires extensive knowledge of developmental processes and considerable experience in palpation.
Childbirth places enormous strain on a baby's small body. The use of vacuum extractors, forceps, or excessive force can lead to tension or misalignment in the skull and spine.
Early osteopathy for babies can help regulate such tensions and positively support natural development—for a good start in life.
