Obstetric Osteopathy

Give mobility to all abdominal tissues, release all the links between organs, elasticize the muscles of the abdominal wall so that the growing fetus does not cause pain when stretching the skin, creating stretch marks afterwards.

In the first months, relieve back pain due to the change in severity and digestive and respiratory pain due to the change in the size of the uterus, producing tension in the tissues that unite them.

From the 3rd to the 8th month of gestation, fluid retention, circulation problems and leg cramps begin. For this reason, osteopathy is of great help to relieve tension in the lymphatic and vascular system for its proper functioning.

As of the 8th month, obstetric osteopathy does not have any contraindications in pregnancy, as long as it is not a risky pregnancy. Obstetric osteopathy prepares the woman both psychologically and physically for a good delivery.

Labor arrives and attention becomes almost exclusively focused on the baby. The woman enters a new phase in which her body becomes a stranger with whom she lives. But the mother’s body continues to change and transform to adapt to everything that the baby brings with it: breastfeeding, brief and interrupted rest, parenting, etc.

Osteopathy in pregnancy treats the general loss of muscle tone, especially in the vaginal area; abdominal laxity; weightloss; hormonal fluctuations; and, in some cases, bladder disorders.

Although attention is focused on the baby, it is essential that the mother spend some time noticing these changes and following a recovery plan that avoids, as far as possible, blocking or limiting the body and its capabilities.
