Supporting Women’s Health and Infant Care with Osteopathy
Specialized Osteopathic Care for Women and Infants
At Osteopathy Malta (OM), we are dedicated to providing specialised osteopathic care tailored to the unique needs of women and infants. Our experienced team is here to support you through the various stages of life, including pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and early childhood.
Osteopathy for Pregnancy and Postpartum Care
Pregnancy is a time of significant physical change, and these changes can lead to discomfort and pain. Our osteopaths are trained to support women during and after pregnancy, helping to alleviate common issues such as:
- Pregnancy-Related Lower Back Pain:
As your body adapts to pregnancy, your lower back may experience increased strain. Osteopathic techniques can help reduce pain and improve mobility.
- Sacroiliac Joint Pain:
The sacroiliac joints often become strained during pregnancy, leading to discomfort. Osteopathy can provide relief by restoring balance and function to these joints.
- Pubic Symphysis Dysfunction (PSD):
PSD can cause significant pain and difficulty with movement during pregnancy. Our osteopaths use gentle techniques to alleviate this pain and improve your comfort.
In addition to managing pain, osteopathy can help prepare your body for childbirth and support your recovery afterward. By addressing the musculoskeletal changes that occur during pregnancy, we aim to enhance your overall well-being and ensure a smoother postpartum transition.
Caring for Infants: Supporting Healthy Development
Our osteopathic care extends to your newborn, focusing on promoting healthy development and addressing any concerns that may arise after childbirth. We offer support for conditions such as:
- Plagiocephaly:
Also known as flat head syndrome, plagiocephaly can develop in infants and may be associated with positional preferences. Our cranial osteopath, Beatrice Iancu, is trained to assess and provide gentle, effective care to support the natural shape and symmetry of your baby’s head.
- Infant Colic:
While the evidence is limited, some research suggests that osteopathic care may help relieve symptoms of colic in infants. Our approach is gentle and focused on enhancing your baby’s comfort.
