Pre and Post Pregnancy Discomfort Treatment

Pregnancy and the months after birth bring huge physical changes, and it is common to experience back, pelvic, hip, or rib pain, as well as general stiffness and fatigue. Hormonal changes, a shifting centre of gravity, weakened abdominal support, and the physical demands of caring for a baby can all place extra strain on joints and muscles.​

At Lumena Clinic in Milton Keynes, gentle osteopathic care aims to ease discomfort, support your body as it adapts, and help you move and breathe more freely during pregnancy and into the postnatal period. Treatment is always tailored to your stage of pregnancy or recovery and may include soft‑tissue techniques, gentle joint mobilisation, and simple exercises, along with advice on posture, rest, feeding positions, and daily movements.​

Osteopathy may help with:

  • Low back, pelvic girdle, or symphysis pubis pain in pregnancy
  • Rib, neck, and shoulder tension linked to postural changes or feeding positions
  • Ongoing aches, weakness, or stiffness after birth, including caesarean recovery support
  • Pregnancy‑related sciatica or generalised joint and muscle discomfort​

Treatment works alongside your midwife or GP care and uses safe, non‑drug, hands‑on techniques to improve mobility, reduce strain, and support your overall wellbeing at this important time.​
