Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—but it’s also one that places significant physical demands on the body.

At Body Language Health, with welcoming clinics in Woolwich Arsenal and Wouldham, Kent, we offer specialised pre- and post-natal osteopathy to help expectant and new mothers feel their best—relieving discomfort, supporting the body’s natural changes, and aiding recovery after childbirth.

Our experienced osteopaths tailor each treatment to your specific stage of pregnancy and personal health needs, with a gentle, safe approach designed to ease pain and improve mobility.

Pre-Natal Osteopathy: Supporting Your Body Through Pregnancy

As your baby grows, your body goes through constant changes—some of which can place strain on your joints, muscles, and ligaments. Osteopathy during pregnancy can help manage and ease common issues such as:



• Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) or Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD)
• Sciatica and lower back pain
• Hip and pelvic discomfort
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Rib pain or shortness of breath
• Postural changes and poor sleep due to discomfort
• Circulatory problems including mild swelling or varicose veins

Our gentle, hands-on techniques help restore alignment, release tension, and improve circulation—safely supporting both you and your baby throughout your pregnancy.

Post-Natal Osteopathy: Helping You Recover After Birth

Labour and delivery—whether vaginal or via C-section—can leave lasting strain on the body. Post-natal osteopathy can help rebalance your body and aid recovery by:

• Relieving lower back and pelvic pain
• Supporting abdominal muscle healing (especially if you experienced separation or a C-section)
• Improving posture, especially while feeding or carrying your baby
• Easing wrist or shoulder pain from lifting, poor sleeping habits and repetitive motions
• Addressing scar tissue and pelvic floor tension
• Supporting emotional wellbeing through physical relief and relaxation

We recommend a post-natal osteopathy check-up from around 4–6 weeks postpartum, or sooner if you’re in pain and your GP or midwife approves.
