Pregnancy treatment

How Osteopathy in Regents Park is helping pregnant mums with their lower back pain

Pregnancy related lower back pain is a miserable condition that can wear you down, at a time when it should be all about getting ready for one of the most exciting and precious moments of your life.

That constant ache and spasming pain is experienced by 75% of pregnant women, and is often simply born as part of the misery of pregnancy. It doesn’t have to be this way. Osteopaths are the go to place to get relief and advice about making things better.

There are a number of reasons why this happens, mainly to do with how your centre of gravity has changed as your precious cargo grows and develops. Getting relief can be as simple as getting the right exercises and the right treatment from someone who knows exactly what they are doing.

How we can help

Radhika Behl, who practices in nearby London’s Regents Parks, has specialised in helping people with their condition for the last 10 years.

Radhika says:

The most common reason mums-to-be come to see me is for pain across their lower back. Often this can make their lives a misery, and it is really important to get them back on track for the big day.Each case is unique, so I always take time to understand the background and circumstances as well as the specifics of the pain and how it is impacting their life. After a careful examination I will formulate an individual treatment plan which often includes exercises as well as gentle and carefully applied treatment. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is seeing how lives can be transformed as the pain lifts away and pregnancy becomes a time of anticipation and preparation.

Of Course it doesn’t stop there, many of my lovely mums come for follow ups after the bith to help get the body back to its original shape and movement. I also love meeting the new arrivals and helping them to settle and adapt to their new and exciting world.

Amy Baker from Southall came to see Radhika about her overwhelming lower back pain that came on 5 months into her first pregnancy

Words can hardly express how grateful I am to Radhika. My pregnancy had become a dark tunnel of constant pain and it was getting almost impossible to do normal things. Radhika was so kind and sympathetic. She knew exactly how to help and what needed to be done.

After 4 treatments I was 90% better and my everyday life was transformed. Thank you to Radhika and everyone at Osteo and Physio Regent Parks. You guys are amazing!
