Osteopathy for Pregnancy
Pregnancy brings incredible changes, but it can also come with physical discomforts like back pain, pelvic tension, and swelling. Discover how osteopathy can provide gentle, tailored care to ease these challenges, supporting your body’s natural ability to adapt and creating a more comfortable pregnancy for both you and your baby.

Pregnancy is a time of profound change, both physically and emotionally. As your body adapts to nourish and carry new life, it’s common to experience discomforts such as back pain, pelvic tension, digestive disturbances or swelling. It's important to understand that while these are common, they are not normal. Pain or discomfort is a sign that your body is struggling to adapt to the changing conditions of pregnancy.
Often, pain can be a result of poor alignment, which prevents your body from adapting properly to create space for the baby. This misalignment can impair functions like digestion, breathing, and circulation, leading to issues such as heartburn, reflux, swelling and varicosities.
At Barefoot Osteopathy, we understand the unique challenges of pregnancy and are here to provide gentle, effective care that helps you feel at ease throughout this journey.
Our osteopathic treatments during pregnancy focus on the whole body, using gentle techniques to improve mobility, relieve tension, and enhance overall balance. We tailor each session to your needs, whether you’re dealing with lower back discomfort, rib pain, or simply looking for relaxation.
By supporting your body’s natural ability to adapt and heal, osteopathy can help you experience greater comfort and a sense of well-being as your pregnancy progresses.
Osteopathy is also about creating a harmonious environment for both you and your baby. By optimizing pelvic alignment and promoting better circulation, our treatments can help prepare your body for labor and delivery, ensuring that you’re in the best possible condition when it’s time to welcome your little one into the world.
