On 25th November our coordinator Victoria had a conversation with Emily Green, one of our recommended practitioners, from Meadowside Osteopathy on Instagram Live. You can watch the video below, where they discuss pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP) and how osteopathy can help.

We also talk to Natasha, who received treatment for her PGP from Emily and talks us through her experience.
