Our Approach to Therapy

Before Birth

we treat typical complaints like back and pelvic pain, boost your mobility, and prepare you for delivery with breathing and posture training. Osteopathy and physiotherapy work hand in hand: gentle manual treatment where your body is under tension, and targeted strengthening where it needs stability.

After Birth

the recovery process begins, and we have a dedicated program just for you: personalized postpartum recovery, one-on-one instead of in a group class. The transition is seamless, often with the very same therapists who supported you throughout your pregnancy.

Mastering pelvic, SI joint, and lower back pain

More than half of all pregnant women experience pain in the lower back or pelvis. Often, the culprit is the sacroiliac joint (SI joint), which connects the sacrum and pelvis. Pregnancy hormones soften ligaments and tissues, while your growing belly shifts your center of gravity forward. The SI joint loses stability, leading to pain that can radiate into your buttocks or leg, much like sciatica. We treat these discomforts using gentle manual and osteopathic techniques, stabilize your body with targeted exercises, and equip you with strategies for daily life, sleeping positions, and work. In cases of severe, sudden, or persistent pain, we will assess together whether a medical evaluation is the right next step for you.

Elevate your prenatal wellness with professional lymphatic drainage

By the end of the day, your legs feel heavy and your ankles are swollen: a sensation many moms-to-be know all too well. Your growing baby presses on the blood and lymph vessels in the pelvic area, slowing down the removal of tissue fluid. Manual lymphatic drainage is here to support you: it activates lymph flow, can reduce water retention, and gives many women noticeably lighter legs. Combine it with moderate walks and staying well-hydrated. Learn more on our Manual Lymphatic Drainage page.

What to Expect & FAQ

Your Session Experience

Each treatment session lasts 30 to 45 minutes and is tailored to your stage of pregnancy. After a thorough assessment, we treat your symptoms with hands-on techniques and guide you through safe exercises you can confidently practice at home. You'll also receive practical tips for daily life, back-friendly movements, and postpartum recovery. As your body changes, we adapt the program to keep you feeling your best.
