Some are visually obvious; others are more subtle, as the release of hormones affect the anatomy, physiology and biology of the body’s systems. Pregnancy is a unique event for the mother’s body. Enormous physical, chemical and emotional changes take place over a relatively short period of time. An Osteopathic examination before becoming pregnant or during the early stages of pregnancy can help identify the physical limitations and strains of the mother’s body, which may interfere with the developing pregnancy and ultimately the labour and delivery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601433114445-D7C079PO2WHEBF5CLXO1/A69I8918.jpg Pregnancy - An important part of the preparation for labour is for the Osteopath to ensure the mother’s pelvis is structurally balanced to allow the passage of the baby down the birth canal. Osteopathic treatment is extremely effective at releasing old strains within the pelvis, thus giving the best chance for an easy and uncomplicated labour. The gentle techniques used during treatment for pregnancy are selectively chosen for the safety to mother and baby and with minimal risk associated with this. https://www.porthillsosteo.co.nz/babies-children daily 0.75 2020-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601483950408-1A973GD2UU7QN27FJTQL/A69I8757.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601483238370-SHDG4DZAPF1QY0XP5SYH/A69I8570.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601772088759-A182S41YYL3TBX6XIRPU/A69I8133.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601483186540-S2I9JEXUV7Y6CWOD6TI0/A69I7941.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601484155161-DJX12OHGA6UT16IZZFUI/A69I8632.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601483305763-H4LS9TH950FU1PIO7U02/A69I8713.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601483949945-P3E55CEZ65KI20LMJ5UX/A69I8767.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601771868272-JKKYIOHS74OQPPOES3C5/A69I8506.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601483172448-3UN95LCFXJGO59UFTIDV/A69I7924.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601483309840-PHRF5RNTAAQ6XY008BP0/A69I8703.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601772052105-Z7PJLW5XILW4IUFEI6SQ/A69I7971.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601769081453-9IH20TXLFCD8PD78Y2JF/A69I8304.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601769303448-JGYJT9G2Z2DO4Y1WBYLO/A69I8067.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601769331214-99PQA45HCFK7VQOOHJS0/A69I8422.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601769422440-A7OMZH5XL4MM5ICJVQ26/A69I8503.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601769482071-4RA1A0U5G0D9MRR39SJC/A69I8621.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601769454739-6MB7E1XQQN345JJLVBOF/A69I8559.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601769550853-XQ1GTQPBS1OXD7C77DB2/A69I8685.jpg Babies and Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601769966826-NBE2QPO2ESNT2Z5O2I8G/A69I8708.jpg Babies and Children - Why Osteopathy works? Osteopaths recognise that every structure in the body is designed to move. Along with obvious movements, such as crawling, walking, running and skipping. Osteopaths recognise the importance of internal movements including the circulation of blood, the exchange of gases during breathing, the digestion of food and elimination of waste products. Most importantly, Osteopaths realise that within every person there are inherent self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms. Osteopaths assist, accelerate and enhance this natural healing process. https://www.porthillsosteo.co.nz/sports-injuries daily 0.75 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601764066024-JI7T18JJY78Q5AFS10VY/A69I9041.jpg Sports Injuries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601485408430-PXHATVN7LIMGYKT3RH5X/image-asset.jpeg Sports Injuries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601485368239-SZO5J1QRV81UZO2ZGOCX/A69I8969-Edit.jpg Sports Injuries https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601485892332-9J3M8OMHPU48PA7WS43T/A69I8625.jpg Sports Injuries - Sport, children and osteopathy Children need to grow with optimal mobility, strength and balance. Sport and exercise can place exceptional demands on their bodies. Children should be cared for by Osteopaths who are fully aware of the needs of young growing bodies. Children do not need treatment for every minor bump and bruise, but occasionally a child has a particularly nasty fall where perhaps they are stunned or badly shocked. After the fall parents may notice a change in the child’s demeanour, or a change in their sleep pattern or the child may succumb to an infective illness. Before treating your child, the Osteopath will take a thorough case history and perform a comprehensive physical examination. They will refer to other health care professionals if necessary. The Osteopath can provide nutritional advice along with strategies, exercises and routines to help your child avoid further injury and stay healthy, happy and active. https://www.porthillsosteo.co.nz/occupational-strain daily 0.75 2021-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601487629923-I3DQ6UNIJL65ZLH3F2VB/image-asset.jpeg Occupational Strain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601533026819-1X342YDINAUAPGJYVQE2/A69I9077.jpg Occupational Strain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601487801663-T77V7D5J3BSDTA5XOB7G/A69I9039.jpg Occupational Strain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601487460059-IY0LZKQPU87PJGNRCP5J/A69I9096.jpg Occupational Strain - How frequent is maintenance treatment? Each individual is different, as are their current medical state, activity levels, diet and occupation are just some of the factors that govern their health. A number of people benefit from receiving Osteopathic treatment on a maintenance basis. Some people may present to the clinic every few weeks and some may come only every few months. However from clinical experience, Osteopaths have realised that it is those people who are body aware and maintain their health regularly are the ones who benefit the most and end up requiring the least amount treatment. https://www.porthillsosteo.co.nz/sciatica daily 0.75 2020-10-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601575803439-42V8GHVRDLKR9R4FY9S9/A69I9105.jpg Sciatica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601575898036-3Z3RBO4NB112DOYYL7W3/A69I9021.jpg Sciatica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601576558660-L6LAH46JQTUA8CV369GT/A69I9098.jpg Sciatica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f23c80924da5648a13491d5/1601576441985-VRRV0KEBIZNTVEQRVTNF/A69I9080.jpg Sciatica - Treatment Treatment of sciatic pain depends largely on the diagnosis. Depending on the severity of the symptoms or the possible presence of a disc lesion, treatment is aimed at decreasing the presence of the nerve irritation, but each individual’s case presents differently, so treatment will vary according to the individual’s symptoms. Often sciatica is the end symptom of a long term strain or imbalance through the lower back. https://www.porthillsosteo.co.nz/back-pain daily 0.75 2020-10-04
