Before Pregnancy
Osteopathy can prepare you for a harmonious and relaxed pregnancy. For example, old scars from operations or spinal blocks, both of which can make the birth process more difficult, can be treated and healed.
During Pregnancy
A woman is especially sensitive during this time. An osteopath can accompany the emotional and physical changes that occur in a woman during pregnancy.
