Osteopathy helps create an optimal physical space for pregnancy by addressing tensions or blockages in the pelvic area. It supports the pre-conception period as well as individuals facing infertility. It is beneficial for mechanical infertility issues and provides comprehensive assistance for hormonal health. It allows to mechanically addresses histories of pelvic falls, abdominal or gynecological surgeries, and recurring infections (vaginal or urinary).
Osteopathic treatments can also accompany and enhance assisted reproductive techniques such as hormonal stimulation or in vitro fertilization (IVF).
I also provide support for individuals who have experienced early pregnancy loss (miscarriage) or abortion. These treatments are conducted gently to help the body and heart realign.

Osteopathy accompanies women and pregnant individuals throughout pregnancy, navigating the pronounced and sometimes intense physical and hormonal changes. Whether dealing with postural changes, ligament pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, or pubic symphysis discomfort, as well as breathlessness towards the end of pregnancy, osteopathy can provide relief. When pregnancy progresses without major pain or discomfort, osteopathy helps maintain overall balance and ensures as much space as possible for the baby to position themself optimally for childbirth. A session once per trimester during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters will help maintain optimal mobility, and a session towards the end of pregnancy around 37-38 weeks will serve as good preparatory support for childbirth. Osteopathic treatments also offer a moment of connection to yourself, your baby, and your changing body—a moment of well-being during these quickly passing months of pregnancy.
Osteopathy accompanies you through this period that is both so magical yet physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding. Your body needs to recover from childbirth, but restful sleep and time for yourself are limited. Osteopathy assists you with pelvic and back pain, as well as restoring your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles to regain your posture. It will provide help for breastfeeding difficulties, particularly by aiding proper breast drainage, and can address neck or arm pain. Osteopathy also helps work on your scar in the case of a cesarean section. It gently supports you in regaining your hormonal health and building a new balance in this new phase of your life. A session can be received as soon as you feel the need after childbirth, even after a few days.
Of course, osteopathy sessions are not a substitute to medical advice; they are a complementary natural approach.
