Ante and Post-natal care and treatment of babies and children with Philip Waldman D.O., Registered Osteopath at Chelsea Natural Health Clinic, Fulham Road, SW10.
The health of expectant mothers and new born babies is an area about which I am very passionate. Osteopathy has a huge amount to contribute. Osteopathy can help pregnancy progress smoothly and can help prepare the mother for labour. Recent studies have show the true benefit of ante-natal care in that the labours can be shorter, less traumatic and less likely to need interventions. This benefits both mother and child. At my practice I have been treating pregnant women and new born children for many years and feel that I have much to offer. I work alongside other practitioners, both at Chelsea Natural Health and elsewhere to provide a co-ordinate approach at these important times. I whole-heartedly believe in the benefits natural childbirth techniques, active childbirth, optimal foetal positioning (getting the un-born child in the right position in the womb so as to ease its passage through the birth canal) and in the benefits of pregnancy yoga. I also advocate pregnancy massage and reflexology. All of these techniques, individually or even better, in combination can be very beneficial in promoting a “trouble-free” pregnancy and labour.
