Pregnancy
The treatment is highly individualized & patient-oriented: a clear explanation and informed consent always precede the osteopathic examination and treatment.
Tijdens een eerste consultatie gaan we samen dieper in op je problematiek.
Je krijgt meer uitleg over de behandeling en hoe onze osteopaten je verder kunn helpen.
Samen stellen we een haalbaar behandelingsschema op. Colette, Sigrid & Jolien zijn gespecialiseerde osteopaten in interne osteopathische behandelingen, namelijk vaginale en anale technieken.
During pregnancy, the body undergoes extraordinary changes to support the development of the baby. The body experiences a lot of stress and must constantly adapt. The osteopath provides support during the pregnancy and birth by helping the body to adapt to these changes.
Many complaints can arise during a pregnancy: pregnancy-related back and pelvic pains, tailbone complaints, pain between the shoulder blades, swollen feet or legs, intestinal complaints, pain during sex, ligament pains, etc.
The position of your baby is also extremely important for a smooth delivery. A mobile uterus, which can grow symmetrically without too much tension from the surrounding structures, is important to obtain a good positioning of the baby.
With care, experience, and an evidence-based approach, the most appropriate techniques are chosen to provide maximum safety and comfort for you and your baby.
