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.
