Physical Therapy

Osteopathy studies the movement of tissues and structure of the body. Pregnancy is accompanied by a series of physical changes, structural, hormonal and emotional that can alter the physiology of the expectant mother, sometimes making childbirth painful and complex. An osteopath can check for proper alignment to ensure an easier labour and delivery as well as help induce labour without the use of pharmaceuticals when necessary. Pilates and Yoga are tools that can be used in both pre and post natal periods and can be very useful in treating abdominal separation and pelvic floor issues.
