Osteopathy is a hands-on therapy that allows us to work at a deeper level with the musculoskeletal, hormonal, autonomic nervous, circulatory and neurological systems.

A woman's hormonal and autonomic nervous systems function cyclically and are constantly changing. These changes can lead to physiological and muscular tension, resulting in symptoms such as menstrual pain, pelvic pain, lower back pain and other discomforts.

Osteopathy specialising in women's health aims to support overall health and improve quality of life. Most women come to see us for some of the following symptoms and concerns:

• Back, neck or joint pain

• Menstrual cycle irregularities

• Improving comfort and quality of life during pregnancy

• Postpartum recovery

• Recovery following breast implant surgery

• Gynaecological discomfort and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), pelvic congestion, vaginismus and others.

Osteopathy can be a valuable support throughout pregnancy, helping to prepare the body for childbirth and supporting postpartum recovery. It is a gentle approach that may help women adapt to the physical changes their bodies undergo while minimising unnecessary structural tension.

It can also be particularly helpful during perimenopause and menopause, with the aim of alleviating uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flushes and insomnia.
