Reflexology for preconception, pregnancy, labour & the post natal period
This type of reflexology is for pre conception and during pregnancy, labour and postnatal period. Research has shown that regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy can shorten the duration of labour, with many women requiring less pain-relief.
During this time of your life your body will be going through considerable physical and emotional changes. Reflexology is a safe and effective treatment that may help to relieve symptoms that you may be experiencing and help to maintain a healthy balance.
Preconception benefits:
May help with relaxation, hormonal balance, menstrual problems.
Pregnancy benefits:
General wellbeing, relaxation and improving energy levels, relieving anxiety, back ache, sciatica and skeletal discomfort, headaches, symphysis pubis pain, groin and ligament pain, heartburn, nausea and vomiting, constipation, cystitis, high blood pressure, water retention (odema), mood swings and insomnia, preparation for labour, turning a breech baby and pain relief.
Maternity reflexology could be best described as helping to support you to be in the best health that you can be and also to focus on any particular needs, symptoms and conditions specific to pregnancy. Before a treatment, we will discuss how you are and make sure that the treatment is adjusted to you. It is a safe and effective treatment but if you have any serious health concerns then you should contact your midwife or doctor. If you have any queries about this treatment do not hesitate to contact me.
Postnatal benefits:
Reflexology may help directly after birth as it is balancing, harmonising and restoratative.
It may also help with breastfeeding, bonding, muscular and skeletal aches and pains, digestive conditions, water retention, exhaustion and fatigue and post natal depression.
