Have an optimal pregnancy and easeful birth with Osteopath Tessa Lang-Larson
I started getting osteopathy treatments in the early years of motherhood and it helped me so much. My body was rather misaligned and in pain after two pregnancies, carrying babies for hours every day and not taking proper care of myself. Osteopathy was one of the modalities that helped me so much on my journey back to prioritizing myself and having my health and energy back.
I only wish I had known of osteopathy and its benefits before I had my children. I had no idea that it could have helped with having a more easeful birth and supported my baby and myself with the many common newborn challenges. How good is that?
In the most recent episode of The Wild and Well Podcast, I chat with Osteopath Tessa Lang-Larson about how we can use osteopathy to our benefit during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond.
Tessa and I chat about:
- What osteopathy is
- How osteopathy can support fertility
- The benefits of osteopathy for pregnancy and birth
- The importance of proper alignment for birth
- Doable strategies to support a more easeful birth
- Why early intervention is optimal but that it is never too late to make positive changes
- How we can help our children with their anxiety, emotional regulation, and postural development
