You will then undergo an examination of your body in order to make an evaluation of your physical condition. Your osteopath will look at your body, your posture and observe your movements and joints (this will involve you getting undressed to your underwear).

Along with a highly refined palpatory awareness and sense of touch with the body's biomechanics, your osteopath will be able to diagnose what is causing your pain. Whether it is a disc injury, hip problem or shoulder impingement. Osteopaths observe the body as a whole and tend to not just treat the affected area, and so are used to seeing people with pain in a wide variety of areas.

read morePregnancy is one of the best times to receive osteopathic treatment because of the body's tissues becoming suppler, so it is a safe and effective way of eliminating or reducing your spinal and pelvic pains. Mothers can respond very quickly to treatment, some women may have had problems or injury prior to becoming pregnant, and for others it may be the first time they have experienced musculo-skeletal pain. In either case your osteopath will examine your back to see what is preventing your posture from adapting to your growing baby.
