4. Osteopath Ana Mattos on postnatal recovery - a podcast by Abby Hollick

Osteopath Ana Mattos works at the Active Birth Centre in London, and she’s passionate about how osteopathy can support new mothers who may be experiencing neck, back, shoulder and pelvic issues. Ana talks through a breathing exercise and emphasizes how vital relaxation is post birth. Her top relaxation techniques include gentle movement, baths with Epsom salts, stretches and no rushing or straining. Ana also talks through good breastfeeding positions, and how important it is to have good posture when trying to tackle tensions in the body created by the birth process.
