Why Should a Pregnant Woman Visit an Osteopath?

By Barbara Pacini, Osteopath, Neonatal Physical Therapist

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. Frequently observed complications during childbirth are associated with the improper alignment and structural changes of muscle tone in the affected areas.

Osteopathy studies the movement of tissues and structure of the body. Thanks to simple and harmless manual tests, the osteopath examines the muscles and bones of the pelvis, verifies the correct alignment, and can, if necessary, stimulate the restoration of structural balance thus promoting the harmony of movement essential to a natural and physiological birth.
