Osteopathy & Postpartum
The postnatal period, also known as the "fourth trimester," is a time of recovery and adjustment for a woman's body after childbirth. During this phase, the body continues to undergo significant changes, and osteopathy can play a crucial role in supporting this transition. Aurélie welcomes patients for postpartum osteopathy in Antibes, Monaco, Beausoleil and across the French Riviera.
