Maternity Reflexology #01As a natural therapy, Reflexology perfectly complements the natural event of childbearing during both the pre and postnatal periods. It is one of the safest, most supportive therapies for pregnant ladies and can have positive results for both you and your baby. Research has shown that ladies who receive regular Reflexology throughout their pregnancy generally experience shorter labour times with less drug intervention.


Pre-Conception

When you are planning to have a baby it is sensible for you and your partner to be in the healthiest state possible, physically, mentally and spiritually. You can address this not only through diet and lifestyle but also by receiving Reflexology during this period.

Reflexology also has an excellent reputation for helping sub-fertile couples to conceive. The qualities of the therapy for creating a balanced mind, body and spirit all contribute towards giving your baby the best environment in which to be conceived. For many ladies the stress and anxiety attached to failing to conceive can be overwhelming. Treatments can help them to feel more positive and relaxed, enabling them to deal with their fertility issues in a more positive manner. In addition, Reflexology can help to re-balance the hormones, giving way to regular menstrual cycles.


Reflexology during Pregnancy

During pregnancy your body undergoes enormous changes, both hormonally and physiologically. Reflexology can be very effective at helping your body to cope with these changes and reducing any stress and anxiety experienced at this time.

In doing so, it can help to alleviate troublesome ailments and discomforts you may experience such as:


  • Morning Sickness


  • Constipation


  • Diarrhoea


  • Backache and Sciatica


  • Haemorrhoids


  • Insomnia


  • Oedema


  • Fatigue and Exhaustion


  • Heartburn


  • Headaches


  • Frequent Urination


  • High Blood Pressure


  • Pelvic Pain


  • Symphysis Pubis Disorder


    • Reflexology has also shown to be successful in the turning of breech babies though of course, there can be no guarantees that this will work every time.

    If your due date comes and goes without any activity, you may like to receive a treatment to attempt to prime labour. Again, there can be no guarantees that this will be successful for everybody as baby comes when baby is ready. However, many ladies have commenced labour within just a few hours of such a treatment.

    Postnatal Care

    The agony and ecstasy of birthing may leave you feeling jubilant, exhausted, sore and sick!

    The balancing, harmonising and restoring qualities of Reflexology are superb at this time. The therapy can play a vital role in recovering after birth by re-balancing the body back to a non-pregnant state, increasing milk production, increasing energy levels and helping to combat postnatal depression.


    It is recommended that you inform your midwife if you intend to have Reflexology treatments during your pregnancy
