What is maternity reflexology?
Reflexology is a therapy that can be used safely during pregnancy, labour and following
pregnancy. It can be helpful for many conditions before, during and after pregnancy.
Many reflexologists avoid treating a client who is in their first trimester of pregnancy as there is a higher risk of miscarriage during these first 12 weeks.
From the second trimester onwards; and following birth; reflexology can be given safely and effectively which will benefit both mother and baby/babies. It is a thoroughly relaxing treatment for the client to receive and can help the client to cope with the range of changes their body is going through both physically and emotionally.... from balancing the increase in hormones to easing tension, stress and aiding pain relief, reflexology is one of the best sources of therapy available.
Reflexology is also beneficial for those trying to conceive as it has been found to help with many different issues. There are points on the feet which when worked it is possible to help with imbalances which otherwise can affect the ability to become pregnant.
