Understanding Postpartum Pain







If we know why, we will know how to help you — Let's dive into what makes this period challenging and how osteopathy can guide you through recovery.



• Common Causes of Discomfort

After childbirth, many women face unexpected aches. Hormonal shifts can loosen ligaments, leading to joint pain. The pelvic floor often weakens, causing discomfort. Back pain is common due to posture changes while caring for your newborn. Did you know? Up to 75% of new moms report some form of pain after delivery. Understanding these causes is the first step in finding relief.

• Emotional Impact on New Moms

Pain isn't just physical. It can affect how you feel emotionally. Constant discomfort might make you feel anxious or overwhelmed. You might even question your ability to care for your baby. Remember, you're not alone. Many moms feel this way, and it's okay to seek support. Talking to others and learning about solutions can lighten the emotional load.
