Post Natal Back Pain

[benjaminty]

Hi All

Partner is really struggling with back pain since giving birth a week ago.

We both have physio on occasion at ESPH but wondering if anyone has had experince of specialist post natal massage / physio / osteopathy?

She had an epidural and therefore wondering if consideration needs to be given for this when working on her back?

The GP should refer her.. I have got an appt at Dulwich hospital for pg back pain a week after seeing my GP

If you can afford to pay, Simon Turgoose at the Vale would be brill in this instance. He's an osteopath and treated me with amazing results before, during and after my pregnancies. He does babies too.

I dont know with regards to epidural however I also had appalling postnatal back pain (some days dare i say i was in more pain than labour!!) however at 2wks old i took my baby to see a cranial osteopath and he commented on how i was walking so i explained. I had 2 sessions with him and I was good as new. After the first session i found i could move and turn over in bed like i had before. I can't recommend him high enough.

His name is Naval and is based in Clapham - his number is 02077389199 - I can't remember the name of his practice.

If you have any further questions please just ask

Good luck with your new baby

I would recommend Elaine at the Therapy Rooms above Health Matters. She's a cranial osteopath who does a lot of work on mothers and babies. I had a lot of back pain with my first child, i thought it might be related to the epidural i had too. I didn't have an epidural with my second child and no back pain either.

Good luck!

I would be happy to help! I have experience with both pre and post natal massage and often use thai massage as well as Swedish Massage to help ease any tension aswell as correcting any dissalignment caused by the pregnancy and birth.

If you would like to talk to me or make an appointment, you can call me on: 07800 636266 or pm me.

I have many recommendations for my treatments on the forum, if you search my username you'll see!

Best wishes
