Pregnancy Reflexology
What are the benefits?
Pregnancy Reflexology has many wonderful healing benefits which are non-evasive and considered safe during this special time. It is an extremely relaxing treatment and will help your body to adjust to major hormonal and emotional changes it may be going through.
You can read a review of a study on pregnancy reflexology by researchers at Iran’s Ishafan University. They found that women in labour who’d used reflexology were generally more comfortable and their pain was less intense. Regular Reflexology sessions may also help to shorten the first stage of labour and help you not go over your due date.
To help prepare for birth, I recommend sessions should be received weekly up until the date of birth.
Pregnancy Reflexology can also help:
Balance pregnancy hormones
Calm an over worked stomach and settle it down
Relieve aches and pains
Help relaxation and breathing
Improve digestion
Increase circulation
Help with the removal of toxins
