The amount of pressure put on a woman's body by pregnancy is astounding. Growing another person is hard work! The amount of strain put upon the spine and back muscles of a pregnant woman is caused by the weight she gains during her pregnancy. The average weight gain is at least fourteen kilos. Of those treated by an osteopath, most pregnant women prefer the treatment and advice given to them by their osteopath over the advice and treatment offered by a "traditional" doctor. This article will talk about a few of the ways that an Osteopath will treat pregnant women.
1. Don't slack off on your exercise regimen! Unless your doctor forces you into bed rest at some point during your pregnancy or expressly forbids exercising, there is no reason not to work out while you are pregnant. You might not be able to work out as intensely as you usually do, but you can follow your old work out schedule and make a few simple adjustments to your exercise regimen. You don't want your heart rate to rise above 145 bpm, so you will want to concentrate on exercises that help you control your heart rate. Strength training exercises and Core training exercises are always good. Squats and Lunges can still be done while you are pregnant and you should make sure to go for a walk or a swim at least a few times every week during your pregnancy.
2. Massages are often recommended by osteopaths who treat pregnant women. Tension builds up along the spine and in the muscles in pregnant women's backs and massage can help release it. The extra weight put on during your pregnancy can take quite a toll. Many women also have to deal with a lot of emotional stress as they transition from their old lives and into the life of being a parent. An osteopath will work with you to help you identify ways that you can release your tension.
3. An Osteopath will work with you to figure out a well rounded and nutritious diet that will keep you and your baby nourished properly. The "do not eat" list of food for pregnant women gets longer and longer every day but your osteopath will help decide upon a sensible diet that does not force you to eat food that is harmful to your baby. Eating a nutritionally balanced diet while you are pregnant will ensure that your body and your baby's body are as healthy as they can be.
Osteopaths treat a pregnant woman's entire body, not just the specific symptoms she exhibits during a visit and this is why they are preferred by pregnant women all over the United Kingdom. - 14130
