FAQs – Osteopathy for Pregnancy
Is osteopathy safe during pregnancy?
Yes! Pregnancy osteopathy is a safe, natural, and drug-free way to relieve discomfort while supporting your body’s natural changes. I use gentle techniques specifically adapted for pregnant women (wahine hapū).
When should I see an osteopath during pregnancy?
You can see an osteopath at any stage—from the first trimester to postnatal recovery. Many Kiwi mumsseek osteopathy in the second and third trimesters for relief from back pain, pelvic discomfort, or sciatica, but early prevention is best—helping your body adjust before problems arise.
Can osteopathy help prepare my body for birth?
Yes! Birth preparation osteopathy focuses on:
✔ Pelvic alignment & flexibility for an easier labour (pushing time, the big show)
✔ Reducing body stress & tension for a smoother birth
✔ Encouraging baby into the best position (breech/transverse positioning)
Can osteopathy help with postnatal recovery?
Absolutely! Postnatal osteopathy supports your recovery by easing:
✔ Aches & pains from labour and delivery
✔ Crook back, neck strain & breastfeeding posture
✔ Pelvic misalignment & postural changes
