For a comfortable pregnancy optimal functioning of body mechanics is essential. Osteopathic treatment may help with this, especially as the postural changes during pregnancy are significant. Biomechanically, the pelvis has to adapt to accommodate the growing fetus, so starts to rotate and ligaments become lax.
It is a common belief that babies and children should have no structural stresses or strains in their bodies, because they are 'so young'. The reality can be very different. The birth of a baby is one of the most stressful events of our lives. The baby is subjected to enormous forces, as the uterus pushes to expel the baby, against the natural resistance of the birth canal.
Lara is also trained in Physiokey Therapy and uses the hand-held device called 'Physiokey'. This the latest development in neurostimulation technology and is registered with the TGA in Australia as a neurostimulation pain relief device, which may help restore function (ARTG ID 230724). Physiokey may assist with acute and chronic pain relief, by delivering damped impulses through two fixed concentric electrodes.
