Expectant Mothers

Pregnancy is such a special time of life, we want our mothers-to-be to enjoy every second!

Discomfort and pain can leave expectant mothers feeling fed up, and not in the best position for labour, birth and life with a new baby.

At Twin Rivers Osteopathy , we have practitioners who are specialised in looking after expectant mothers before and after birth.

Because your body changes so much over the course of pregnancy, it’s important to take steps to keep in good working order. The high demands of pregnancy can be countered with manual therapy, such as Osteopathy.

Osteopaths can help pregnant women overcome more severe pains, having success in treating patients with sciatica, lower back pain, ligament pain, rib pain, SPD and other pelvic pains.

Birth is a marathon, not a sprint. Our practitioners are set on getting women to birth feeling healthy, energised and ready for parenthood.

Our Massage team have the use of a specialist bolster system to enable pregnant women to lay on their front to receive treatment that is both safe and effective in reducing stresses on the body as pregnancy progresses.

These cushioned bolsters have been specially designed for pregnant women to lay on their front, creating a safe space for their bump to be cradled and supported. Ladies report feeling relief from the heaviness and stretch in their bump, a welcome break for those in their second and third trimester.

Lying on the special bolsters removes all weight and tension from the bump is relaxing, as our Osteopaths relieve tight shoulder and lower back muscles. Special care is taken to ensure all treatments delivered at our clinic are safe, evidence-based, and enjoyable for expectant mothers.

Our practitioners focus on alleviating the physical aches of pregnancy by improving circulation, decreasing swelling, and decreasing muscle pain – however massage therapy is also a wonderful way to reduce anxiety and stresses, and to help women connect to their body before birth.

If active preparation for birth interests you, or you would like a relaxing treatment to ready your body and mind, book onine today!
