Chiropractic, craniosacral and osteopathic treatments work by making minor adjustments to the tissues and structure of the body to improve alignment. This resetting can also improve the efficiency of the nervous system and help alleviate discomfort and pain.
Alongside skeletal improvements, craniosacral therapy can help to deliver balance to hormones and produce a feeling of improved health and well-being. The treatment is very gentle and releases tensions in the body to improve the cranial rhythm and nervous system function.
Being pregnant is a wonderful time and your body shape will change. It may leave behind some evidence after you’ve given birth and whilst not always welcome – this is evidence of the wonders of having a baby; try to embrace the changes, reminding you how strong and unique you are.
Visiting your practitioner after giving birth can also help your body recover from the birth, rectifying misalignments and helping re-balance your body.
