Pregnancy & Post-Natal Osteopathy in Mornington
Pregnancy is an incredible journey — but it can place significant strain on your body. At Bayside Osteopathic Clinic in Mornington, we provide gentle, evidence-informed osteopathic care to support you through every stage of pregnancy and into post-natal recovery.
Our experienced osteopaths focus on reducing pain, improving mobility, and helping your body adapt to the physical changes of pregnancy — so you can feel more comfortable and confident throughout this time.
Why See an Osteopath During Pregnancy?
As your baby grows, your posture, pelvis, ribcage and spine all adapt. Hormonal changes also increase ligament laxity, which can lead to instability and discomfort.
Pregnancy osteopathy may help with:
-
Pelvic girdle pain
-
Lower back pain
-
Sciatic pain
-
Pubic symphysis pain
-
Rib pain and mid-back tension
-
Neck pain and headaches
-
Carpal tunnel symptoms
-
Preparation for birth
Our approach is gentle, safe, and tailored to your stage of pregnancy.
Supporting You in the Third Trimester & Birth Preparation
In the later stages of pregnancy, we focus on:
-
Optimising pelvic alignment and mobility
-
Supporting balance and posture
-
Reducing muscular tension
-
Encouraging comfort for sleep and daily movement
Balanced pelvic mechanics may assist in creating an optimal environment for labour and delivery.
Is Pregnancy Osteopathy Safe?
Yes. Osteopathic treatment during pregnancy is gentle, low-force and tailored specifically to pregnant women. We adjust positioning and techniques to ensure comfort and safety at all times.
If you have any pregnancy complications, we work collaboratively with your GP, obstetrician or midwife.
