I’m New baby. Achy wrist? 👶🤍
Caring for a newborn means a lot of lifting, feeding, carrying, rocking, and repetitive hand movements. Over time, this can place increased strain through the thumb and wrist, commonly referred to as “mommy wrist,” and often associated with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
But the wrist doesn’t work in isolation.
An osteopathic approach considers how the wrist, forearm, elbow, shoulder, neck, and upper back are working together. Changes in posture, muscle tension, joint mobility, and the physical demands of feeding and carrying your baby can all influence how much stress reaches the wrist.
At Level Osteopathy, treatment may focus on:
• Improving mobility through the wrist, forearm, shoulder and upper body
• Reducing unnecessary muscular tension and mechanical strain
• Addressing postural changes associated with feeding and carrying
• Providing practical advice for modifying aggravating movements
• Helping your body better manage the new physical demands of parenthood
You may have to carry your little one every day — but you don’t have to simply live with the discomfort. 🤍
