Safe, gentle, effective treatment for aches and pains in pregnancy

During pregnancy a woman’s body goes through significant physiological adaptations. As pregnancy progresses, women’s bodies change shape and size in a relatively short period to accommodate a growing baby. These relatively rapid changes can place additional pressure on the body, especially the spine, pelvis and hips, often causing some discomfort.

I have lots of experience treating mums-to-be. Osteopathy is safe in pregnancy and can help you to feel more comfortable and remain fit, active and strong for birth.

I have also undertaken Biomechanics for Birth training with Registered Midwife Molly O’Brien which compliments and enhances my osteopathic treatment.

Testimonials

I saw Karly on recommendation (from another mum) during the third trimester of pregnancy when I was planning for a VBAC. Karly’s approach was thorough and very holistic, from very gentle physical work to discussions and tips about visualisation and pelvic floor release during labour. These were utterly invaluable in contributing to my successful VBAC and in my pelvic floor recovery, I still remember how her advice played through my mind and helped me focus whilst in the throes of second stage labour!

Karly was recommended by a friend as I have been having lower back and hip pain during the third trimester in pregnancy. Her sessions have helped to relieve the pain massively. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has shared links around the birthing process that have been so valuable, she has helped me feel empowered and I’m looking forward to my birth. Karly you really are amazing, THANK YOU!

I can't recommend Karly more highly, she's truly fantastic. I saw her during my pregnancy as I had bad pelvic girdle pain and sciatica - hobbled into the consultation in agony and walked out pain-free. She also helped me after I'd given birth, her advice and treatment were hugely helpful and I'm still feeling the benefit today. Huge thanks Karly!
