Women’s osteopathy in Jerusalem

If you experience painful periods, endometriosis or pain during intercourse, we start by discussing your gynecological care and how the pain affects your daily life. The osteopathic assessment looks at your mobility and the muscular tension that may accompany these symptoms. Any techniques proposed are external and explained before they are carried out.

Osteopathy does not treat endometriosis lesions, the hormonal causes of PCOS or infertility. It does not replace a diagnosis, medication or prescribed rehabilitation. The aim of any session is to address musculoskeletal comfort, without a promised outcome. My article on endometriosis and osteopathy explains the limits of this approach.

Turning in bed, sitting or walking can become uncomfortable during pregnancy. At your appointment, we discuss your stage of pregnancy, the movements that hurt and any guidance from your maternity team. I adapt your position, the assessment and the techniques to this information, without forceful manipulation.

You do not have to wait for a particular trimester to ask questions. If your pregnancy is high risk or you are unsure about a pain, speak to your maternity professional first. The appointment complements obstetric care; it is not intended to induce labor or guarantee how birth will unfold. My guide discusses when to consider osteopathy during pregnancy.

Carrying your child, leaning over their cot, breastfeeding or bottle-feeding can put strain on your back, neck and shoulders. A postpartum appointment is a chance to discuss these movements, your discomfort and your recovery after a vaginal birth or C-section.

The timing depends on how you feel, healing and the advice from your postnatal team. We discuss this before booking rather than applying the same waiting period to every mother. Osteopathy does not replace pelvic floor or abdominal rehabilitation. If you are looking for a body treatment, you can also read about postpartum lymphatic drainage.

Would you like an appointment for both yourself and your infant? A joint mother and baby appointment brings together two separate assessments within one visit. We discuss your reason for coming and your baby’s, with room for breaks, changing or feeding. A breastfeeding space is available at the practice.

Please mention that you would like a joint appointment when booking so we can allow enough time and confirm the arrangements. Your baby stays with a parent, and their pediatric follow-up continues. If the appointment is only for your child, the infant and children’s osteopathy page explains what to expect.

We begin by talking about your discomfort: when it started, which movements aggravate it, your medical history and any care you are receiving. You can also tell me what worries you or what you hope to get from the visit. This helps establish whether osteopathic care is appropriate or a medical assessment should come first.

I then assess your mobility and explain the manual techniques I propose. Your consent matters throughout: you can ask a question, request a different position or stop a technique. We finish by reviewing the appointment and discussing practical advice for your daily life. Any follow-up depends on how things develop, without a fixed number of sessions decided in advance.

Choose clothing that lets you move comfortably. If you have recent test results relevant to your reason for coming, you can bring them along with information about your current medication. During pregnancy or after birth, keep any recommendations from your medical team in mind.

When you get in touch, let me know whether the appointment is for you alone or for you and your baby, and which language you prefer. The duration, fee and arrangements should be confirmed before booking. You can contact me to plan your visit if you are unsure which appointment to choose.

I see patients mainly at my practice in Katamon, Jerusalem, in English or French. The practice offers free parking, reduced mobility access, an elevator and a breastfeeding space. If you need a particular arrangement to feel comfortable, please let me know before your visit.

The precise address is shared only by private message to prepare for your appointment. If you need a visit to your home, contact me to check availability and conditions. You can read about my training on the Léa Laskar, osteopath page.
