Pregnancy Pains

Pregnancy is a unique time during which the body has to compensate for many changes.

Biomechanically, there are significant alterations in how weight is being passed through the hips, pelvis and spine. This can lead to problems in these areas.  Sometimes pregnancy brings on aches and pains in areas that were never a problem before; while at other times it can aggravate existing problems.  Common pregnancy-related problems are low back pain, pubic pain, neck pain, knee pain and ankle pain.

Recharge osteopaths are trained to adapt their treatment to the needs of pregnant patients. This may involve: using different techniques, using more gentle techniques, treating in different positions (eg. lying on your tummy is often not possible)
