Why the ribs feel tight in pregnancy

As the baby grows, the ribcage lifts and the diaphragm has less room, which can bring rib discomfort and a breathless feeling. Gentle osteopathy can help the ribs and diaphragm move more freely.

Gentle relief for the upper body

The aim is a little more room and ease.

  • Soft work on the ribs and mid back
  • Support for the diaphragm and breathing
  • Comfortable, well supported positioning

With your maternity team

Osteopathy has its own place within your antenatal period. For any new breathlessness or chest pain, please contact your doctor promptly.
