Eddy Marchetti YOUR OSTEOPATH FOR INFERTILITY, MENSTRUAL PAIN, PREGNANCY AND BABIES
Infertility and menstrual pain are often the result of mechanical and ligamentous restrictions in the pelvic organs and pelvis. The aim of restoring this mechanical balance through osteopathy is to support better functioning of the reproductive system, ease menstrual pain, and help manage endometriosis.
I then accompany expectant mothers throughout their pregnancy to support the healthy development of the baby and reduce lower-back and sciatic pain, as well as after the birth, to help the body find its balance again.
Babies can also enjoy all the benefits of an osteopathy session to address a range of issues, for example infant colic and constipation, skull deformities, torticollis, sleep difficulties, or sucking problems that can affect breastfeeding.

Osteopath for pregnant women
The conception of an embryo, the development of a pregnancy and childbirth are major challenges in the life of a woman and her couple.
It is therefore important to seek support, particularly through osteopathic treatment.
Osteopathic care is provided in three stages:
before pregnancy
Osteopathy, by working mechanically on the visceral, vascular and hormonal systems, can increase the likelihood of becoming pregnant if you are experiencing difficulties (see paragraph on infertility below).
during pregnancy
Pregnancy monitoring involves working on the mechanical tensions caused by the development of the foetus and the baby’s weight gain. These tensions are mainly in the ligaments of the uterus, the fascias of the visceral system and the mechanics of the pelvis.
The aim of these manipulations is to relieve the mother-to-be of lower back pain, sciatica and digestive problems, but also to ensure that the foetus feels well, can move and develop properly. At the end of pregnancy, it is important to work on the mechanics of the pelvis and perineum in preparation for childbirth.
after pregnancy
Childbirth is a physical and psychological ordeal for a woman’s body. The osteopath’s work will mainly be based on reharmonising the pelvis and visceral system, and preparing for perineal re-education in collaboration with our physiotherapist specialising in perineal and urogenital re-education.
osteopathy to combat infertility
If you are having difficulty conceiving even though the medical examinations of both partners are normal and do not reveal the cause of your infertility, osteopathy can help.
Like every organ, the pelvic organs (uterus and ovaries) have ligament attachments, innervation and vascularisation.
Ligament tensions in the sacrum, coccyx, uterus or ovaries can disrupt mobility, vascularisation and therefore the proper functioning of the reproductive organs. In this case, the uterus will not be ready to receive an embryo and will therefore be evacuated.
By manipulating these areas to release the tension, the uterus will regain good mobility and a better blood supply. The uterus will therefore be in better condition to receive the embryo and allow it to develop.
This will give you every chance of conceiving your future baby.
In the long term, these tensions are also often the cause of endometriosis, which promotes infertility. These manipulations also aim to revive pelvic mechanics to reduce the pain of endometriosis and/or menstruation.
The importance of sucking in breastfeeding.
You’d like to breastfeed your baby, but it isn’t as easy as you’d hoped. Your baby is struggling, and you’re getting all kinds of conflicting advice.
Like everything else in life, your baby has to learn how to feed. Sucking is a movement driven mainly by the tongue, which drains the milk ducts and triggers the mother’s milk production.
Mechanical tension in the skull and jaw , usually related to the birth itself ,can interfere with the intracranial nerve that controls the tongue’s movement (the hypoglossal nerve). When this happens, the baby doesn’t latch properly and instead draws on the nipple as if drinking from a bottle. The mother’s body receives less of the signal to produce milk, lactation decreases, and the baby’s weight gain isn’t optimal.
The goal of osteopathy is to release this mechanical tension so the baby can suck correctly, and in doing so help restore breastfeeding.
It’s also a good idea to consult a lactation specialist as early as possible.
Osteopath For babies
It is very important to consult an osteopath for babies during the first few months of life. This ensures optimal development and avoids future complications during growth. The course of childbirth will influence the way your newborn is cared for. Duration, trauma, caesarean section, epidural, use of forceps or suction cups… That’s why I will first carry out an assessment to gather as much information as possible about the birth and your baby’s daily life.
Many disorders can be treated by me.

regurgitation and other digestive problems
sleep problems
skull deformities
torticollis or malpositioning of a body part
ear infections and other ENT problems...
Sucking difficulties — challenges with breastfeeding
Osteopathic sessions for babies are as gentle as possible. The manipulations are adapted to the baby, without any cracking or strong pressure. No pain is felt, and advice can be given to you before you go home.
deformation of the skull in infants
Newborn babies often have a deformed skull, also known as plagiocephaly. This is due to the fact that babies’ skulls are very malleable and flexible, especially in the fontanelles, located between the bony parts.
Plagiocephaly is often caused by childbirth, or by repeated positioning at home. During your consultation with your osteopath for babies, after the manipulations, we will study together the different factors that can influence the position of your newborn: orientation of the bed, location of mobiles or light sources, position when carrying or feeding, etc.
