Treatments for Pregnant Mothers at Body Zest- Banstead
At Body Zest, we have multiple options for pregnant mothers. Our practitioners have many years of experience and specialist training within Obstetrics and Women’s health.
Osteopathy
Marie Pitchie-Cooper is our highly experienced Osteopath for Women’s health. Marie has many years of experience treating Women using Cranial Osteopathy. Marie also treats Paediatrics, meaning she can support expectant mums and their babies together.
Using gentler techniques than regular Osteopathy, and appropriate exercise prescription, Marie is able to support the muscles and joints which are put under strain during pregnancy. Osteopathy also helps to reduce fluid build up, making it a great option for carpal tunnel and swollen feet and ankles.
Good exercises are useful for keeping muscles strong which may become stretched, and helps mothers to bounce back faster after the birth.
Acupuncture
Our Acupuncturist- Lu, has many years experience treating expectant mothers. Acupuncture lends itself to pregnant mothers very well, as (similar to Cranial Osteopathy) it is very gentle and safe.
Treatment will focus on general wellness during this time. This means that general stress can be reduces, as well as reducing muscle tension and pain.
Acupuncture helps patients on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. Therefore, if you are worrying about your pregnancy or the birthing process, Lu can help with coping and acceptance during this time.
