PERINATAL OSTEOPATHY

Perinatal osteopathy is recommended for pregnant individuals (at any stage of pregnancy) as well as during the postpartum period. Your body undergoes many physical, morphological, postural, and hormonal changes during this time, which can lead to various types of discomfort, including muscular, ligament, and visceral pain throughout the body.

Although the most significant changes occur around the pelvis, the entire body adapts to the growing weight of the uterus throughout pregnancy. Whether you are experiencing musculoskeletal pain (low back pain, neck pain), inflammatory conditions (tendinopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome), circulatory symptoms (heavy or swollen legs), or general pregnancy-related discomforts (nausea, constipation, shortness of breath, fatigue), osteopathy can help relieve your symptoms through gentle manual techniques adapted to your needs and stage of pregnancy.

During the postpartum period (after childbirth), osteopathy can help relieve pain related to delivery (such as low back and pelvic pain), as well as muscle tension that may have developed during pregnancy (including lumbar and gluteal tension). Treatment also focuses on restoring optimal posture now that the uterus has returned to its normal size and supporting your gradual return to work and/or physical activity.
