Supporting your body through every trimester with gentle, personalised osteopathic care.

A Natural Approach to Pregnancy Support

Pregnancy is a transformative journey, physically, emotionally, and hormonally. While it’s an exciting time, many women experience discomfort and challenges as their body rapidly adapts to support a growing baby. As your centre of gravity shifts, ligaments soften, and blood volume increases, it’s common to experience issues like:

– Lower back pain and pelvic discomfort
– Sciatica, leg or foot pain
– Fatigue and low energy
– Difficulty sleeping or getting comfortable
– Digestive issues and pregnancy reflux
– Stress and emotional tension

At Bodyworx, our pregnancy osteopathy treatments are designed to gently support these changes and help your body move, rest, and function more comfortably throughout all stages of pregnancy.

How We Can Help

Our experienced osteopaths work with you to ease common pregnancy-related symptoms and optimise your body’s natural ability to adapt. Some of the ways we support pregnant women include:

– Relieving pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain
– Improving energy levels and circulation
– Supporting digestive health and reducing reflux
– Creating space for your growing baby
– Enhancing pelvic alignment and balance
– Addressing historical injuries that resurface
– Encouraging optimal fetal positioning for birth
– Helping prepare your body for labour and delivery

Every session is personalised to your stage of pregnancy, your comfort level, and your individual needs.

Gentle, Safe Techniques for Every Stage

We use safe, non-invasive techniques suitable for all trimesters, including:

– Cranial osteopathy
