Pregnancy Reflexology
Reflexology for Pregnant
Women
Reflexology is extremely
beneficial to use as an holistic therapy during pregnancy and labour.
It will not interfere with the viability of the pregnancy but some
pregnant women may prefer to wait until after the twelfth week to
begin treatments.
Reflexology helps to realign energies
throughout the whole process of pregnancy, promote relaxation, bring
about balance at a physical, emotional and mental level and prepare
the body for labour. The focus centres on the woman's own self-regulating
and self-healing capacities.
The length of labour can be very
much reduced by having regular Reflexology treatments in the weeks
prior to the expected delivery date.
A treatment plan is built around
each individual pregnant woman's needs and requirements throughout
the course of her pregnancy and for the preparation of labour. In
conjunction with this treatments focus on the prevention of conditions
that can arise in pregnancy alongside treating any that do.
Reflexology has been demonstrated
to be beneficial with the following conditions in pregnancy:
- Reducing morning sickness,
heartburn, nausea and vomiting*

- Blood pressure regulation
(except in cases of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia)

flexibility
