Mothers’ Clinic
Louise is also a midwife, having qualified in the 1980s. As a dual practitioner she is skilled in assessing a woman’s symptoms and offering an holistic approach to the needs of antenatal and postnatal women.
Osteopathy offers pre-natal women the opportunity to prepare physically for labour by becoming more aware of their own bodies and their capacity to cope. Post-natal women are often affected by the physical and emotional changes of childbirth and childcare causing symptoms that can benefit from osteopathic treatments.
During pregnancy and after the birth of a child, a woman’s body can feel very different to her. She may experience significant discomfort in her joints and muscles which could be alleviated by osteopathy.
