Highly recommend obstetric osteopath

[Redmeghan]

Hello all,

Just wanted to share the details for the amazing osteopath I was recommended by the Osteopathic Centre for Children (which I also highly recommend).

I had a second degree perineal tear with my first child and it took a good 7 months to heal properly and once pregnant again it became tight and tender again. I had three visits with Dr. Sandler (he also fixed a sprained ankle when I was 35 weeks pregnant) and the second labour resulted in only a minor tear which has already healed beautifully (8 weeks on).

Being an obstetric osteo means he can do internal vaginal work - it may scare you off but I know form talking to friends that many of us suffer with our tears for a long time so just wanted to share in case it can improve any one else's life like it did mine.

He's is Chingford but I shlep there with two kids and it's still well worth it! He also practices at Portland St. Hospital if you have the cash!
