Pregnancy and postpartum are transformative stages in a woman’s life, often accompanied by physical changes and discomfort. At Lifetime Therapy Osteopathy Gold Coast, we provide tailored care to support women during these critical times, ensuring comfort, mobility, and overall well-being.
Osteopathy During Pregnancy
Pregnancy places unique demands on the body as it adapts to accommodate a growing baby. Osteopathy offers gentle, non-invasive techniques to alleviate common issues like lower back pain, pelvic discomfort, sciatica, and swollen joints. By addressing these concerns, osteopathy helps improve posture, relieve tension, and promote better circulation, allowing you to move and feel better throughout your pregnancy.
Postpartum Osteopathy
The postpartum period can bring its own challenges, including muscle strain, joint pain, and recovery from childbirth. Osteopathy aids in restoring balance and alignment, supporting the body as it heals. Our treatments target areas like the lower back, hips, and pelvis, helping you regain strength and mobility while easing discomfort caused by breastfeeding or carrying your baby.
