When women become pregnant, as postural changes slowly take place, quite often the mechanics of their spines are altered, especially if they have had problems in the past. Osteopathic treatment of preg-nant women is perfectly safe and is almost invariably helpful, since we help the body to compensate for the postural changes of pregnancy. A high proportion of women who have recently had a child also experience low back, buttock, or even neck and shoulder pain. This can be very quickly eased, even in mothers who have had post-natal pain for years
