Pregnancy Care
During pregnancy many women look to complementary therapies for help with minor ailments that can arise due to the many internal changes taking place. Acupuncture offers women a safe alternative to drugs and can help alleviate many of natural symptoms of pregnancy. Reflexology is also a wonderful therapy for those looking for support, stress reduction and an element of pampering.
Acupuncture
Minor Ailments : Acupuncture is very safe to have during pregnancy and is an effective option at a time when many women choose to avoid taking medicine for minor ailments such as morning sickness, tiredness, heartburn, insomnia, headaches, anxiety and back pain.
Breech Presentation : Treatment for breech presentation can be started from 34 weeks. It is a completely painless treatment done by gently warming an acupuncture point on the little toe with a moxa stick.
Pre-birth Acupuncture : Pre-birth acupuncture is offered to help boost energies and prepare the body for childbirth. These treatments are offered from week 36 on a weekly basis up until week 40.
Encouragement of Labour : Acupuncture to help gently and naturally encourage labour is often recommended from due date plus one day. Home visits are sometimes appropriate for this treatment and can be arranged on an individual basis.
Reflexology
Reflexology can be of great support to women during their pregnancy and can help to promote general well-being. As well as being an exciting time, pregnancy can also increase stress levels, especially as the birth becomes more imminent. Reflexology can help counter any stress by promoting relaxation. It also provides a place where you can focus purely on yourself and your growing baby.
