Home-Visiting Osteopathy for Mother-to-be and New Mothers in Leicester

Third Trimester Support & Postnatal Care at Home

At The Health Suite Leicester, we offer specialist home-visiting osteopathic care for mothers during the final trimester of pregnancy and the first six weeks after birth. Our consultant osteopath offers gentle hands-on treatments designed to support comfort, mobility and recovery at a time when travelling can be difficult or uncomfortable. Whether you are preparing your body for birth, supporting optimal foetal positioning, or recovering after delivery, our home visits provide expert care in a supportive and relaxed environment.

Osteopathy in the Third Trimester (Birth Preparation)

The physical demands of late pregnancy can create tension, discomfort and reduced mobility in the pelvis, back and ribs. Gentle osteopathic treatment in the third trimester can help:

  • Improve pelvic mobility to support labour
  • Reduce back, hip, rib or pubic symphysis pain
  • Improve posture and breathing mechanics
  • Support comfort during sleep and daily movement
  • Address muscle tension affecting foetal positioning

Our goal is to support better comfort and mobility to allow your body to work at its best during birth.

Postnatal Osteopathy Check (First 6 Weeks)

Birth impacts every mother differently, whether labour was long, assisted, caesarean, or straightforward. A postnatal osteopathy assessment at home can help support early recovery by:

  • Reducing spinal, rib, neck or pelvic pain from birth
  • Supporting mobility after caesarean delivery (no treatment near scar until medically safe)
  • Helping with postural strain caused by feeding and carrying
  • Supporting breathing mechanics and core engagement
  • Guiding gentle movements for pelvic floor and abdominal support (not internal work)

This check can be especially valuable if you’re finding it difficult to travel, are healing from stitches or surgery, or are adjusting to feeding and holding positions.

Please note: the postnatal assessment during a home visit is not a Mummy MOT assessment. Please click here for Munny MOT Assessments.

Optional Combined Mother & Baby Visit

During your visit, you can choose to add a gentle newborn assessment and treatment to support feeding comfort, posture, settling and birth tension.

This combined appointment allows us to look at:

  • Feeding postures affecting both mother and baby
  • Postnatal discomfort related to latch, holding and positioning
  • Shared comfort techniques that support bonding
  • One appointment, supporting both recovery and early infancy.

Why Choose Home Visits During Pregnancy & After Birth?

  • No need to travel or sit uncomfortably post-delivery
  • Gentle treatment that suits your changing body
  • Advice tailored to your real feeding, sleeping and sitting environment
  • Calm support during a physically demanding time
  • Guidance that considers both you and your baby
