OSTEOPATHY

 

Women's Health Osteopathy is focussed on female conditions and also uses the principals of restoring balance in the body. Fenja is additionally trained in this area and able to provide safe and effective treatment for a variety of conditions.

 

Depending on the presenting complaint, consultations in this area may also include examinations of the pelvis and pelvic floor, abdominal and pelvic organs such as the uterus and bladder, and pregnancy-related complications such as abdominal muscle separation and health.
