Plate II

Pregnancy & postnatal

Pregnant, or a new parent

Pregnancy & postnatal, ground floor.

Back, pelvic and rib pain in pregnancy; the postnatal check at six weeks; a baby who prefers one side. One osteopath with the training for all three, one room by the door with a rocking chair, and a page that says honestly what osteopathy can and cannot do.

Within the week; third trimester within 48 hours

Plate II, fig. 1Notes

6 things to know before you book.

  1. i

    Pelvic girdle pain is treatable

    Side-lying treatment with pillows, a belt if it helps, ways to sleep, sit and get out of the car. Most people are clearly easier by visit two; 81% last year.

  2. ii

    Never on your front, never manipulated late on

    Mei Lin treats side-lying or seated from twelve weeks and does not manipulate the lower back or pelvis in the third trimester.

  3. iii

    The postnatal check

    From six weeks: pelvis, back, the scar if you had a caesarean, lifting and feeding positions, and a referral to a women's health physio for pelvic floor work, which is not ours.

  4. iv

    The baby room

    By the green door, step-free, with a low padded table, a rocking chair, a changing mat and a box of toys for the toddler. Buggies come inside.

  5. v

    Bring everyone

    Partners, toddlers, the baby to your own appointment. Feed whenever you need to. Sessions run at the baby's pace, and crying is fine.

  6. vi

    Pay once, share it

    The Household membership covers you, your partner and the baby's follow-ups for £105 a month; a block of four can be shared too.

Treatments for you

Asked often

When in pregnancy can I come?

Any time, though in the first twelve weeks treatment is advice-led and very gentle. Most pelvic and back pain starts around twenty weeks, and that is when most people come.

Can you turn a breech baby?

No, and we will not claim to. That is a conversation with your midwife about a procedure called ECV. We can make you more comfortable while you wait for it.

Honest about babies

Written inside the advertising rules, and it says so.

We check the whole baby and help with tightness and one-sidedness. We do not claim to treat colic, reflux, sleep or flat head, because the evidence does not let us; and we tell you when the GP is the right call.

The GOsC and ASA guidance, to the letter.
