Pregnancy Osteopathy
Feel more comfortable, move with confidence & enjoy pregnancy
Pregnancy is an incredible journey, but it can also bring aches, pains and changes that make everyday life more challenging.
As an experienced Pregnancy Osteopath, I take the time to listen, understand what you’re experiencing and tailor your care to you and your stage of pregnancy.
Whether you’re experiencing pelvic, hip, back or rib pain, struggling to sleep or simply feeling uncomfortable in your changing body, you deserve to feel supported and cared for.
My aim is to help you move more freely, feel more comfortable and stay active throughout your pregnancy — so you can keep doing the things you love and focus on preparing for motherhood.
Postpartum Osteopathy
Feel like yourself in motherhood
Motherhood is amazing, but your body has been through a lot. Pregnancy, birth and the physical demands of caring for a baby can leave you feeling sore, tired and not quite like yourself.
Being a mum of two and a very experienced postpartum Osteopath, I understand how much your body is asked to do after having a baby. I take the time to listen to what you’re experiencing and tailor your care to you, your recovery and what you’d like to get back to doing.
Whether you’re experiencing back, pelvic, hip or neck pain, discomfort from feeding and carrying your baby, or aches that are making everyday life harder, you deserve to feel supported and cared for too.
My aim is to help you move more freely, feel more comfortable and more like yourself again — so you can enjoy walks, exercise, playing on the floor with your little one, or simply getting through the day with greater ease.
Baby-friendly appointments. No childcare? No problem. Your baby is welcome too. We can work around feeds, cuddles and nappy changes, so you can prioritise your health without needing to leave your little one at home.
General Osteopathy
Helping you move comfortably and get on with life
Life is busy enough without aches and pains getting in the way. You don’t have to put up with aches and pains or rely on pain relief.
Whether it’s a sore back, an aching neck after a long day at your desk, an old injury playing up or movement simply becoming more difficult, you deserve to feel comfortable and supported.
As an experienced Osteopath, I take the time to understand you, your symptoms and how they’re affecting everyday life. I look beyond where it hurts to understand what may be contributing to your pain, then tailor treatment to your needs, goals and lifestyle.
I treat all ages, helping people stay comfortable, mobile and active at every stage of life.
My aim is simple: to help you move more freely and get back to doing the things you enjoy — whether that’s exercising, gardening, working, playing with the kids, walking the dog or simply getting through your day with greater ease.
You don’t have to put up with pain. Let’s get you moving comfortably and back to the things that matter to you.

Client Reviews
“I was referred to Sarah by my midwife after experiencing a lot of body pain, especially pelvic girdle pain. She was amazing! Super gentle, really listened, and knew exactly how to help. Each session made a noticeable difference — I felt so much more comfortable and could actually move around. I’d highly recommend her to any mums-to-be who need some relief and extra care during pregnancy.”
— Pregnancy patient, Sharlene King“I had been suffering from persistent shoulder pain for over a year after playing basketball. Thankfully, I found Sarah Boughtwood at Milford. From the very first session, I could tell I was in expert hands. Sarah's professionalism, care, and thorough understanding of osteopathy were evident. After just two treatments, I noticed a significant improvement, and now, a month after therapy, I am completely pain-free. Sarah's approach is both holistic and highly effective. I am incredibly grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of osteopathic care. Thank you so much, Sarah!”
— Injury patient, Dragon “I had an amazing experience with Sarah throughout my pregnancy. Her expertise in prenatal care made a huge difference in relieving my tailbone pain, and I always felt so much better after each session. Sarah took the time to understand my needs and explained everything clearly. The clinic has a calming atmosphere, and I always felt well cared for. I highly recommend Sarah to any expecting mothers looking for safe and effective osteopathic treatment!”
