Prenatal & Postpartum
Osteopathy
At Heal Health and Performance, we view pregnancy and recovery as a high-performance journey. Osteopathy is a gentle, evidence-based manual therapy that helps your body adapt to the significant structural and hormonal changes of the perinatal period. Our Osteopathic Manual Practitioners focus on optimizing the relationship between your muscles, joints, and internal systems to ensure a more comfortable pregnancy and a more efficient recovery.
How Osteopathy Supports Your Journey:
-
Prenatal Comfort: Addressing common pregnancy-related issues like sacroiliac (SI) joint pain, sciatica, rib pain, and shortness of breath as your posture shifts.
-
Preparing for Birth: Ensuring the pelvis and lower back are mobile and balanced to support the mechanics of labor and delivery.
-
Postpartum Alignment: Helping the body "re-center" after birth, addressing the physical toll of carrying, breastfeeding, and the rapid shift in your center of gravity.
-
Systemic Balance: Supporting the nervous and circulatory systems to manage swelling and improve overall energy levels during and after pregnancy.
