Beyond Birth: Reclaiming Your Body & Discovering Postpartum Wholeness

Done & Dusted — Fri, 02 Feb 2024 20:58:13 +0000

Dysfunction in postpartum women is very common and even though much goes undiagnosed the estimates of diagnosed dysfunction are as high. And far too often, women are left to navigate the physical and emotional aftermath alone. If left untreated, issues like this tend to get worse as women age and reach menopause.

I am writing this for everyone but particularly for those women who are currently pregnant. The uncertainty and change that surrounds us at the moment is affecting each of us in very different ways. I really want to reach out and provide support to the pregnant women out there, many of whom will be feeling things acutely at the moment.

I’m not one to share personal stuff usually but this week it feels right to share with other women out there. This is my experience this week related to women’s health and shifting from contraction into expansion, from reaction into resonance.

Do you have to be in pain to see an Osteopath?

Rebecca Davies — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 13:35:03 +0000

I recently met a man at a yoga class who was in his 60’s. When I introduced myself as an Osteopath he promptly told me that he goes to his Osteopath every 6 months for an MOT to keep things working well. He is obviously someone who looks after himself and wants to continue […]

Rebecca Davies — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:36:46 +0000

When I tell people I meet that I am an osteopath I very frequently hear back: “That’s to do with bones isn’t it” or “That’s the treatment of the muscles and the back”.

Osteopaths treat the whole body and not just the bones! Busting the myth

Rebecca Davies — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 10:21:41 +0000

I hear this one alot ‘You treat bones don’t you?’. I wanted to write an article busting this particular myth as I think it prevents a number of people seeking help from an osteopath for conditions which could easily be helped. A problem we have with our profession is in the name. Osteo as a […]

The British Osteopathic Association has produced a set of videos showing some basic exercises for a healthy spine.
