Greater comfort in pregnancy, preparation for birth and recovery afterwards.
As a Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner and prenatal yoga teacher I have created a bespoke program called Body Ready for Birth for all my prenatal chiropractic clients from 20weeks.

If your birth was a caesarean section then I have a Caesarean Recovery Program where you will learn about scar management and gentle exercises appropriate for your stage of healing.
All postnatal patients will take part in the Postnatal Rehab Program which covers
