Before you book.
When can I start postnatal osteopathy?
There is no fixed waiting period. Many women come for an initial assessment within the first few weeks after birth. For caesarean births, Amina will adapt treatment based on how your recovery is progressing. If you are unsure, get in touch and she can advise you directly.
Can I bring my baby to the appointment?
Yes, absolutely. Many postnatal clients bring their baby with them. Amina is flexible and understands that feeding or settling your baby may happen during the session.
Will osteopathy help with pelvic floor issues?
Osteopathy works with the musculoskeletal system around the pelvis, including the sacrum, coccyx, hips, and lower back, which can influence pelvic floor function indirectly. For specific pelvic floor rehabilitation, Amina may recommend working alongside a women’s health physiotherapist.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly without any referral. Amina is a registered osteopath with the General Osteopathic Council and can assess and treat you independently.
Is postnatal osteopathy covered by health insurance?
Many private health insurance policies cover osteopathy. It is worth checking your policy details before your appointment. Amina can provide a receipt for you to submit a claim.
