Maternity Reflexology

Reflexology undoubtedly comes into its own when it comes to starting a family. Parents-to-be really feel the benefits of this natural, non invasive therapy.

Preconceptual Care – When a couple are planning a baby it is sensible for both of them to be in good shape mentally and Physically. Reflexology can help balance, relax and de-stress both parents, thus helping with conception. Reflexology already has an excellent reputation with helping sub-fertile (Unexplained infertility) couples to conceive, as well as with assisted conception (IVF).

Pregnancy – During all pregnancies, women go through many and varied changes - physical, hormonal and emotional. Reflexology helps to keep the body and hormones balanced, as well as helping to alleviate those common pregnancy ailments including nausea, head and backaches, Sciatica, constipation, Hypertension, SPD (Symphysis pubis pain) etc., and reducing the risk of more serious disorders developing such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia*. The overall aim is to make the pregnancy as comfortable and enjoyable as it should be.

Post term labour Priming – Many midwifes will recommend reflexology for helping to bring on labour in a post term pregnancy. It is also helpful when a baby has not "turned" in time. Most mothers find the medical alternatives to be very unappealing!

Birthing – Women who have had Reflexology treatments during their pregnancy, enjoy shorter labour times and the need for caesarean sections are reduced*.

Postnatal Care – The agony and ecstasy of the birthing experience can leave the mother feeling jubilant, exhausted, and sore. They often have many conflicting and confusing emotions and feelings. The balancing, harmonising and restoring qualities of Reflexology therapy are superb at this time, helping to restore her body to pre-pregnancy state and help her cope with the role of a new mum.

With all the hard work of labour, the new regime of feeding, mothering and sleepless nights, doesn’t she deserve a Reflexology session or two?!
