This Mother’s Day (March 31st), we’re celebrating the incredible journey of motherhood—and the strength it takes to navigate it! At The Vale Practice, we understand how pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for a newborn can leave mums feeling physically and emotionally drained, while babies adjust to life outside the womb. That’s why we’re proud to offer osteopathic treatments, especially paediatric cranial osteopathy, to support both mums and babies during this transformative time.

For Mums:

• Ease postpartum aches: Osteopathy helps relieve back pain, pelvic tension, and neck stiffness, restoring balance and comfort after childbirth.
• Support emotional wellness: Osteopathy can help to reduce stress, and anxiety.
• Rebalance and restore good pelvic function: Help your post partum recovery by addressing postural change and the residual effects of hormonal change during pregnancy and birth.
• Improve mobility and help your body respond to the new functional movement patterns of parenthood: From feeding to lifting, our osteopath’s treatment and advice can help you deal with these new physical demands .

For Babies:

• Soothe birth stress: paediatric osteopathy gently releases tension as your baby adapts to early life .
• Help reduce some of the more common feeding difficulties like poor latching and the effects of tongue tie by working gently to improve the biomechanical dynamics of feeding.
• Calm tummy troubles: Help your baby adapt to the new and often tiring process of digestion.
• Promote better sleep by releasing body tension as your baby adapts to their new environment and daily routine. 

Thoughts from Our Osteopath:
