Osteopathy for adult, children, pregnant women

Osteopathic medicine is truly holistic. The patient is assessed and treated as a whole person. Osteopathic physicians understand how all the body's systems are interconnected and how each one affects the others. Osteopathy is a form of drug-free non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles and spine. Its aim is to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. Osteopaths do not simply concentrate on treating the problem area, but use manual techniques to balance all the systems of the body, to provide overall good health and wellbeing.

Preparation for labour and position of the baby

As labour is likely to be more difficult if the baby is not lying correctly, it is worth trying to help them to move into a better position. The baby generally settles in a head downward position and facing backward with his spine curled in the same direction as his mother's spine. This puts the baby in the most advantageous position for passing through the birth canal during labour.
