Maternity reflexology is a type of reflexology that specifically offers care to women at the pre-conception stage by helping the body be as optimally ready to conceive, as well as providing support through pregnancy and all the changes the body goes through, to birthing and postnatal care.
Reflexology is a wonderful therapy to have on a regular basis during pregnancy. Research has shown that regular reflexology treatments during pregnancy can shorten the duration of labour with women often requiring less pain-relief during the course of delivery. Not only that, it can relax both mother and baby so that both are at ease with the many changes throughout this amazing time.
Regular Maternity Reflexology can also be helpful in a woman’s later life also as it can help with menopause symptoms such as mood swings, disrupted sleep and hot flushes.
