The powers of Cranial Osteopathy 💜💜We get so many messages from parents about Steve and Maria our wonderful cranial osteopaths. They really are so completely awesome at what they do. We are so lucky to have them. 💜💜One of Steve's patients sent us these photos of her daughter who had been having a number of issues since her birth, and she just relaxed completely in Steve's hands. She told us that "Steve is incredible", and he really is.In a cranial osteopathy appointment, you will bring your baby or child in, and you will be asked questions about what is concerning you (or if you just want a check over post birth that is also something we do a lot here... Even without any concerns at all). You will be asked about your birth, the early days and any development milestones, questions about feeding, sleeping, digestion, nappies, any troubles, latching on, or tongue tie, etc.... Many questions to get a deep understanding of your child. Then they will do an assessment. Then a very gentle treatment to help balance the body where needed.It really is such a lovely calm and gentle treatment, and both Steve and Maria have so much experience with babies and children, so can treat in many different positions according to the baby or child, and how they are most comfortable.We just LOVE having babies in our clinic, and of course their parents too. 💜💜 Both Steve and Maria also run Mum and Baby appointments if you would like to both have an appointment together! #postnatal Want a check over after birth, or any troubles or issues your baby toddler or child may be having..?.. We're here for you. 🙏🏻Available to book online now. 😊#cranialosteopathy #babies #cranialsacraltherapy #colic #babysleeptips #tonguetiebabies #flathead #needtosleep #newmum #newparent #stalbans @stalbansmums stalbansmums #chequerstreet #maltings #shoplocal ...

Hi from Rupal... 👋🏻Do you have hip or pelvic pain? Something that has been niggling away? I have a particular interest of treating hip & pelvic pain. Hip pain can effect everyone more commonly pregnant women through PGP (pelvic girdle pain), #pgp, people who play sports or do physical exercise regularly or even the sedentary office based individual.Hip & pelvic pain can derive from many regions including the hip itself, the groin, upper thigh pain, it can sometimes be disguised as knee or coccyx & commonly lower back pain.Hip & pelvic pain can become debilitating & affect our walking gait, driving, running, sleeping. Which is why is it is always best to have it checked out by a professional & not prolong the pain.Initial osteopathy consultation will include taking a full medical history and asking specific questions related to the pain such as location of pain? Which movements recreate the pain? Plus lifestyle questions including activities you may do that may have lead you to present with the current problem.As an osteopath we look at the presenting problem but through taking a thorough medical history and then examination, we are able to see where the pain may be deriving from and how the body may be compensating for the pain and how other areas can become problematic and so looking globally and treating accordingly. Everyone’s hip pain is different and how it presents and also the longevity of it, sometimes all you need is some hands on treatment and some guidance as to which exercises will help aid recovery. So don’t wait and book in soon! I can't wait to help! I'm currently here on Fridays and Saturdays, you can book online through our website or call us on 01727 400425. Thanks so much for reading, Rupal 💜💜#cliniclife #FIXME #hippain #gait #gymlife #sportlife #running #workfromhome #stalbans #pgpistreatable #stalbansmums ... See MoreSee Less

What is PGP *Pelvic Girdle Pain*? How can we help?PGP is sadly more and more common in pregnancy, but also due to the shift in birthing through the pandemic, we have found that postnatal PGP has been more and more prevalent.With a huge increase in inductions, reduce in home births and water births, and more emergency csections, we are finding that postnatally women need our help more than ever. The underlying elements and causes and dysfunction of PGP doesn't go away, and for many women can last for years. Intervention during birth, scar tissue, and slow postnatal recovery will also feed into PGP, and may also present as coccyx pain postnatally. Whether pregnant, postnatal, or menopausal, PGP is not normal and it's not OK to have to live with it.This is a short video which Jo made to help you to understand PGP better.Any questions please ask, we are always happy to help. 💜We also have a lot of resources on our website including a PGP helpsheet, and coccyx pain blog. Please also check out @thepelvicpartnership.#pgpistreatable #pgppregnancy #postpartumjourney #coccydynia #pelvicgirdlepain #pelvicfloor #fourthtrimester #bumpsofinstagram #preggersinlockdown #birthchoicesmatter #doulasupportedbirth ...

Pregnancy can be the most wonderful time of your life but also the toughest. No guilt on anyone who doesn't particularly enjoy pregnancy.Yes, this is Jo, our Principal Osteopath, and she had some really tough parts of her pregnancies. Jo's story will come up again later this week. 💜Our bodies are all made of different stuff.... And some adapt easily to pregnancy, and others find it a little bit harder, and need a bit of a helping hand!!If you are experiencing pain in pregnancy, 👉🏻 PGP (Pelvic Girdle Pain) 👉🏻 back pain,👉🏻 hip pain 👉🏻 headaches,👉🏻 rib pain,👉🏻 foot pain,👉🏻 sciatica.....These are all ways your body is talking to you, telling you that it can't quite adapt to the pregnancy as it should.💜 Find the cause 💜We treat every pregnant woman completely individually. BECAUSE..... Everyone's pain comes from a slightly different reason, cause, complex mix of past injuries, surgeries, gynae issues, gut issues, underlying autoimmune conditions, falls, bumps, previous pregnancies and births... And a whole load of other stuff besides.So when you come in for your first pregnancy osteopathy appointment we will ask you tons of questions. Finding out ALL ABOUT YOU, and your story, your "life's work"... Because this information is imperative to finding out why you have pain.The answer is always in there somewhere!What we would always ask ourselves is... What makes you get PGP (Pelvic Girdle Pain) and not that woman over there.. We find that out by investigating, and playing detective.Often we compensate for a whole load of stuff our body has been through, then when we try to adapt to the pregnancy, our body gives up compensating for all of its previous injuries and issues.It is very often around the 22 to 25 weeks mark. But sometimes it can much earlier. This is more common with subsequent pregnancies. It's important to get to the cause, as sometimes these issues can get in the way of the birth you want. Because PGP may also be your body's way of telling you that the pelvis or lower spine might have as much mobility as it needs for baby to get into a comfortable position. We have women's health and PGP specialists here at Herts Osteopathy. With specialist PGP appointments available. So let us get to the root cause of your issues. It's our favourite thing to do.. Helping you with an individualised treatment and exercise plan to help you get through your pregnancy more comfortably and with far less pain, or no pain at all. We'll help your body prep for birth perfectly, to help you get you ready for the birth you want 💜WE'VE GOT YOU 💜💜#birthprep #pilates #osteopathyworks #pgpistreatable #stalbans #pregnancy #bump #babies #mumoftwo #pgp #bodylove #birth #osteopathy #preggers #PGP ...
