During
pregnancy a woman’s body goes through many physical and emotional
changes. In order to cope with these changes, an increasing number
of women are choosing reflexology to aid relaxation and enhance
their wellbeing.
Based
on the manipulation of the reflex zones on the feet, research has
shown that regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy can lead
to an easier and more natural birth. Reflexology may also ease the
symptoms of some of the conditions associated with pregnancy and
childbirth, including:-
| ►
Stress, fear and anxiety |
►
Odema (swelling) |
| ►
Nausea |
►
Carpal tunnel syndrome |
| ►
Backache |
►
Indigestion |
| ►
Sciatica |
►
Constipation |
| ►
Symphis pubis pain |
►
High blood pressure |
Reflexology can also help to prepare the body for labour, offer
comfort and pain relief during labour and also aid post natal
recovery.

considering reflexology treatment.
