Pregnancy and the period after birth transform the body. I support you with gentle osteopathy, to relieve discomfort in the back, pelvis and legs, and to prepare your body for childbirth. My training in pediatric osteopathy and perinatal care allows me to see pregnant women. My support is in addition to your medical follow-up, not a replacement for it.
During pregnancy
- Upper and lower back pain.
- Pubic (pubalgia) and pelvic pain.
- Heavy legs.
- Sciatica and femoral neuralgia.
- Sleep disturbed by discomfort.
Preparing for childbirth
I work on the mobility of the pelvis and lower back to help your body approach childbirth in the best possible conditions. The movements are gentle and adapted to your pregnancy.
After the birth
I offer postpartum follow-up: recovery of the pelvis and back, and relief of tension linked to new postures (carrying, breastfeeding, short nights). If you come with your baby, see the infants page.
To report first to your doctor or midwife
Contact your doctor, midwife or maternity unit without delay in case of:
- bleeding;
- severe abdominal pain or regular contractions before term;
- leaking of fluid;
- reduced baby movements;
- severe headaches, visual disturbances or sudden swelling of the face or hands;
- fever.
Osteopathy does not replace your pregnancy follow-up.
The consultation
A consultation lasts 45 minutes: 10 minutes of discussion, 5 minutes of clinical examination, then 30 minutes of tests and osteopathic treatment with tailored practical advice.

Frequently asked questions
At what stage of pregnancy can I come?
It depends on your symptoms and your situation. We discuss it by phone or during the consultation. If your pregnancy is high-risk or in case of doubt, first ask the advice of your doctor or midwife.
Do I need a prescription?
No. Medical advice remains recommended if your pregnancy is closely monitored.
Can I come after the birth?
Yes, I offer postpartum follow-up. Your baby can be examined separately, see the infants page.
Does osteopathy replace pregnancy follow-up?
No. It is practiced as a complement to your medical follow-up.
