Osteopathy

Womens Health Osteopathy

Women’s bodies go through many physical changes throughout life — from puberty and pregnancy to menopause and beyond. These changes can affect the muscles, joints, pelvic floor, hormones, posture, and overall wellbeing. Women’s Health Osteopathy offers safe, gentle, and evidence-informed support to help manage these changes and improve comfort, mobility, and function. Whether you’re dealing with pelvic pain, pregnancy-related discomfort, postnatal recovery, or menopause-related symptoms, our women’s health osteopaths provide tailored care designed around your body and your goals.
🤰 Pregnancy & Prenatal Support

During pregnancy, your body adapts rapidly to support your growing baby. This can place additional strain on your spine, pelvis, and supporting muscles.
Women’s Health Osteopathy can help with:

Lower back and pelvic girdle pain

Sciatica or hip discomfort

Rib, chest, or mid-back tightness

Pelvic floor tension

Postural changes and mobility restrictions

Pain when walking, turning in bed, or climbing stairs

Our approach is gentle and adapted to each stage of pregnancy, helping you stay active, mobile, and comfortable.

👶 Postnatal Recovery

After birth — whether vaginal or C-section — the body needs time, support, and guided movement to recover.

Osteopathy can help with:

Pelvic floor imbalance or weakness

C-section scar discomfort

Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

Upper back and neck tension from feeding/holding baby

Pelvic or lower back pain

Core re-engagement and stabilisation

Postural changes and fatigue

We work at a pace that feels safe for you, helping your body heal and regain strength.

Many women experience pain linked to menstrual cycles, pelvic tension, or hormonal changes.
Women’s Health Osteopathy may help by improving function in the:

Pelvis

Lower back

Hips

Abdomen

Diaphragm

Pelvic floor

We use gentle techniques to reduce muscular tension, improve circulation, and support the nervous system — helping create better balance within the pelvis.

🌙 Menopause & Hormonal Transitions

During menopause, changes in hormone levels can affect the joints, muscles, and overall wellbeing.

Osteopathy can support you with:

Joint stiffness

Muscle tension

Poor sleep

Pelvic floor changes

We focus on helping your body adapt to these changes with targeted hands-on care and lifestyle guidance.
