Reflexology
Reflexology
Reflex zone therapy is a safe form of pregnancy reflexology and is a non-invasive complementary health therapy. The theory of reflexology is that all systems and organs of the whole body are mapped to smaller peripheral areas (e.g. feet, hands, ears etc). This safe and soothing treatment has numerous benefits:
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Eases nausea (morning sickness)
- Reduces swelling
- Improves sleep patterns
- Aiding pain management during labour and birth
- Lactation and breastfeeding issues
- Enhancing well-being and relaxation
- Research also suggests that regular reflexology helps to decrease the duration of labour and reduces the amount of pain relief needed.
Reflex zone therapies can be used in conjunction with other complementary therapies to optimise full treatment benefits, e.g. overdue pregnancy.
Please bring your handheld maternity records with you; treatments cannot be undertaken without full assessment of your pregnancy at each visit.
