Our Osteopaths can look after you throughout Pregnancy and postpartum
Pregnancy changes your body fast — sometimes week by week. As your posture shifts, your ligaments soften, and your centre of gravity moves. It is common to develop aches and pains that weren’t there before.
Common areas of pain and discomfort in pregnancy:
● Lower back pain — one of the most frequent complaints, caused by the shifting spinal curve and added weight
● Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) — discomfort around the pelvis, hips, or groin, often worse with walking or turning over in bed
● “Sciatica” — nerve pain radiating through the buttock and down the leg
● Rib and mid-back tension — as the uterus grows and pushes upward, especially in the third trimester
● Swelling and circulation issues — gentle techniques can support lymphatic drainage in the legs and feet
● Postural strain — neck, shoulder, and upper back tension from changing posture and, later, from breastfeeding preparation
If you’re looking for a Geelong Osteopath to help with your bump and baby feel free to reach out and we can help or find you the right person.
Osteopathic treatment is typically adapted at every stage — techniques used in the first trimester look different from those used close to your due date, and your osteopath should always tailor treatment to how far along you are.
