Increase the likelihood of a calmer pregnancy...
Some women prefer reflexology over massage for different reasons. However both partners may benefit from treatment as both should be in a balanced state of health with emphasis on the women's ovum and the man's sperm.
Recent research studies have shown that pregnant women who receive regular reflexology treatments during their pregnancies have calmer pregnancies with shorter birthing and less intervention.*
Changes in the size, muscle tissue and blood flow to the uterus mean that a lot of the body's focus is on this area and regulating hormonal balance.
With many physiological changes taking place during pregnancy problems and discomfort such as backache, oedema, insomnia and changes in emotional state can occur. The increasing weight of the baby can cause normal standing positions to be changed causing pain in the pelvis.
Techniques include spinal reflexology, endocrine balancing, lymphatic drainage and relaxation to help bring about a sense of well-being. Treatments are carried out in a semi sitting position on a well cushioned couch or reflex chair.
As every experience of pregnancy will be different, treatments are tailored to each client addressing any physical ailments as they occur and aiming to bring the physical mental and emotional bodies back into a greater state of balance.
