Most pregnant women discover that at some point during their pregnancy the extra bump weight and their changing shape cause some aches and pains but when you are not able to take many standard pain medications, or do your usual exercise routine to help relieve things, it is difficult to know how to ease some of these issues.
Local practitioner Mark McWilliam is an osteopath with experience of treating pregnant women and helping them deal with the new strains on their body. He is an osteopath and the treatment involves very gentle manipulation of problem areas, massage and sometimes recommended gentle movements to maintain the improvements he is able to trigger. One patient of Innermost Secrets who carried a very large twin bump went to Mark for treatment and commented 'The osteopathy sessions really helped my back and hip pain which developed later in the pregnancy. After seeing mark I slept for a whole night which hadn't happened for months! I really appreciated the advice on staying comfortable and I have been back since my babies were 'born to help with my 'new mum' aches and pains from running around all day!"
