Osteopathy during pregnancy to prepare the body for the time of delivery.
Osteopathy for pregnant women is very important, especially during the last trimester.
The treatment consists of improving the mobility of the bones that are directly involved in the birth process (such as the sacrum, coccyx, lumbar spine …), also insisting on the flexibility of ligaments and muscles in the pelvic area (especially the muscles of the pelvic floor).
That is, our goal with obstetric or gynecological osteopathy is to adapt the body of the future mother well, so that the delivery can develop correctly, avoiding long and painful deliveries, as well as unnecessary cesarean sections or episiotomies.
