Osteopathy in women

The anatomy of women is essentially different from that of men. The biggest difference is that the female body is basically able to conceive, complete the pregnancy and bring new life into the world. These processes each require a specific adjustment of the tissues involved (hormones, circulation, joints, muscles, nerves and organs). If this adjustment is not optimal, it can lead to complaints during puberty and menstrual phase, pregnancy, after delivery and during menopause.

Fertility

Conceiving and staying pregnant is not obvious. Sometimes your body can use some support in these processes. The osteopath uses manual techniques to optimize the mobility of the joints, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and organs involved, so that the mechanical conditions of the body to conceive are in optimal state. The treatment can also consist of exercises and / or a diet or lifestyle advice.

Indications for osteopathy in fertility are:

  • difficulties becoming pregnant (no medical conditions found)
  • supportive during fertility treatment such as IUI/ IVF

If you are unsure whether treatment by the osteopath could be of help for you, please contact Marie-Jeanne.

Complaints during pregnancy:

 

  • neck-/schoulder-/ backissuesgular menstruation
  • pelvic pain (tense pelvis, pubicpain, coccyx pain)
  • numbness of the hands/ fingers
  • heartburn (gastric reflux)
  • difficulties breathing
  • heavy / tired legs
  • intestinal complaints / constipation
  • cholestasis of pregnancy
  • urinal problems
  • hemorroids
