Pre-natal Osteopathy provides support during pregnancy when the mother’s body is going through continual changes that may affect her joints, ligaments and her muscles. Osteopathy can help to reduce the ailments that are associated with pregnancy through cranial and structural osteopathy.
The aim is to improve mobility, reduce imbalances, pain and discomfort. After pregnancy, osteopathy can help by aiding in the post-natal recovery by restoring pelvic, girdle. and core stability, and spinal mobility and other areas of discomfort that may arise through the new life with a baby.
Cranial Osteopathy for new-borns is a post-graduate qualification that Kemmy has attained through Sutherland Cranial College. Gentle cranial techniques are used to ease areas of tension in the body to help the baby relax and to correct imbalances and to improve movement in areas of restriction. Common complaints are uncomfortable feeding positions, sleeping issues, favouring turning their head one way, and digestive issues among other things.
