Pre & Postnatal Clinic at Posture Dynamics
Supporting You & Your Baby Through Pregnancy & Beyond
Pregnancy and birth bring significant changes to both the mother’s and baby’s body. At Posture Dynamics’ Pre & Post-Natal Clinic, we provide expert osteopathic care for both you and your baby, ensuring a comfortable pregnancy, smooth recovery post-birth, and gentle treatment for newborns.
Our osteopath-led approach focuses on reducing discomfort, improving mobility, and supporting postural and musculoskeletal health—helping both mother and baby adjust after birth.
How Can Osteopathy Help During Pregnancy?
As your body adapts to pregnancy, changes in posture, weight distribution, and hormone levels can lead to aches, tension, and mobility issues. Osteopathy can help by:
- Easing Pregnancy-Related Aches & Pains – Relieving lower back pain, pelvic discomfort, and rib tightness
- Improving Posture & Movement – Supporting changes in balance and alignment as your body adapts
- Reducing Pelvic & Sciatic Pain – Addressing pressure on the pelvis, hips, and sciatic nerve
- Relieving Neck, Shoulder & Rib Discomfort – Common from posture changes from chest and bump growth
- Helping with Circulation & Swelling – Encouraging better fluid movement and lymphatic drainage
- Preparing Your Body for Labour – Promoting pelvic mobility and balance for an easier birthing process
Our treatments are gentle, safe, and adapted to ensure comfort at every stage of pregnancy.
Post-Natal Recovery & Support for Mothers
As your body adapts to pregnancy, changes in posture, weight distribution, and hormone levels can lead to aches, tension, and mobility issues. Osteopathy can help by:
- Support Recovery from Labour & Birth – Helping the body readjust and heal naturally
- Address Postural Strains from Feeding & Carrying Your Baby – Relieving neck, back, and shoulder pain
- Help with Pelvic Floor & Core Function – Supporting pelvic alignment and muscle recovery
- Aid C-Section & Abdominal Muscle Healing – Encouraging gentle, effective recovery after surgery
- Reduce Stress & Promote Relaxation – Helping the body feel balanced and restored
Whether you’re experiencing pain, stiffness, or just need support adjusting to post-natal movement patterns, our specialists can help.
Osteopathy for Babies: Gentle Post-Birth Care
Birth can be a challenging experience for babies, especially after a long or difficult labour, assisted delivery (forceps or ventouse), or C-section. Gentle cranial osteopathy can help newborns adjust and relieve any tension they may be holding in their delicate systems.

- Supporting Feeding & Latching Issues – Encouraging comfortable movement in the head, neck, and jaw
- Reducing Colic, Reflux & Digestive Discomfort – Supporting gut function and nervous system balance
- Improving Sleep & Settling – Helping babies feel more relaxed and at ease
