Osteopathy can relieve many of the common and distracting conditions associated with pregnancy, and the corresponding changes in your body, to give you better quality time during this special period. At Dorchester Osteopaths our practitioners apply their specialist training in obstetric osteopathy in the care of pregnant mums.
We can treat:
- Low back, leg, neck and shoulder pain
- Pelvic pain/symphysis pubis dysfunction
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- General aches and pains – by relieving the physical strain on organs and tissues caused by postural, hormonal and emotional changes to your body
- Indigestion/heartburn – by reducing tension in the diaphragm caused by the expansion of the uterus
- Varicose veins and haemorrhoids – by releasing tension in the pelvis and diaphragm and improving the return of venous blood to the heart from the lower body
- Breathing difficulties – by working on the whole rib cage to realise full lung capacity, which can be inhibited by postural changes
