Pregnancy Myotherapy
Our Myotherapists will guide you in preparing and maintaining your body through all stages of pregnancy and provide relief from these common complaints. We will also focus on your muscle imbalances and postural changes during pregnancy, which cause fatigue and pain. You will be given a home program which may include stretching, strengthening, and corrective postural exercises. These exercises will be specific to your complaints, and are safe to do during your pregnancy. This is extremely important in eliminating the causes of pain and preventing further issues from occurring.
Keeping your body in prime condition after you have given birth is just as important as during your pregnancy. Myotherapy can be very helpful in relieving pain caused by labour and also with the pain and discomfort with breastfeeding/nursing, carrying your baby, and lifting them in and out of cots and baby seats. If these problems are not addressed quickly they can develop into chronic pain.
Our team has done further training in pregnancy, so you will feel reassured that you are in experienced and caring hands.
