Osteopathic treatments provide unique ways to connect with your baby before and after birth. Biodynamic Craniosacral therapists are attuned to the subtle rhythms of the body, and provide gentle alignment which can also can assist with pain management during pregnancy. For the nine months of pregnancy, treatments can help your body adjust to the growth of your baby & provide a way to soothe your growing little one. After birth, they can be helpful with reorienting the body and adapting to motherhood. With larger amounts of relaxin in the body postpartum, regular treatments will guide the spine and hips back to a new and improved alignment as relaxed ligaments can tighten back back to a new form. In European countries, it is common for most infants to see an osteopath one week after birth, so please feel welcome to bring your baby.
