About — Nourish Osteo

OSTEOPATHY + PREGNANCY

Osteopathic care plays a beautiful and supportive role in your pregnancy and postpartum journey. As your body adapts and grows we are excited to work with you and aim to enrich this wonderful time in your life.

Osteopathic treatment focuses on creating balance in the body to allow for growth. We work with you from early on for conception support, preventative care and the treatment of pregnancy related pain and discomfort. During the 3rd trimester, treatment also addresses structures to ensure optimal foetal positioning for labor. This includes when there is a breech or posterior presentation that may be impacting your birth choices.

In preparation for birth, we pay attention to the pelvis and lower back and ensure alignment and softness to help with expansion and space required for the powerful process of birth. Osteopathic care has an incredible ability to create balance and align tissues helping the body adapt during pregnancy and prepare for birth with more ease.

We love working with you throughout the sacred time and offer a pregnancy and postpartum pack that also includes a home visit and a workshop on how to prepare for postpartum.

Birth Prep Package

A Nourish & Level Up Collaboration

Congratulations on taking the first step to supporting your body through pregnancy! We’re happy you are here. This collaborative package encompasses a well-rounded approach, taking elements of Physical therapy and Osteopathy, to support you through pregnancy and prepare your body for birth.

From Nourish Osteo and Wellness practitioners you will get high quality osteopathic manual therapy that focuses on the alignment and fluidity of tissues for change when preparing for birth and labor. The body is constantly changing during pregnancy, our work is gentle in nature and focuses on maintaining optimal alignment throughout. Treatment will support you during your daily function while pregnant and for birthing.

During birth the whole body needs to let go and allow for the baby to be birthed. Our job when working with you is to help your body-paying close attention to the spine, the pelvis and their impact on the birth canal-to ensure optimal blood flow, alignment and balance of the nervous system so that when the birthing process begins your whole body is ready.

From Level up Wellness and PT you will get a detailed and thorough assessment of how your body moves now and how to maintain your movement throughout pregnancy. We will give you a tailored exercise program to keep you strong and flexible as your pregnancy evolves and work with you to understand the changes of your body during pregnancy-allowing you to stay active and healthy during pregnancy.

For birthing, the pelvic floor needs to relax and allow the baby to exit the birth canal. In our treatments together, we will teach you about your pelvic floor, how to relax your pelvic floor during birth, how to breathe during pushing, and different birthing positions that may be more optimal for you and your body during birth.
