REFLEXOLOGY FOR PREGNANCY/FERTILITY

The relaxing and rebalancing effects of Reflexology can have a positive effect on a whole range of conditions, with major benefits before, during and after pregnancy.  Pre-pregnancy studies and extensive anecdotal evidence have shown that regular Reflexology treatments can improve the likelihood of a healthy natural conception.  Paula Roberts offers Reflexology for Pregnancy/Fertility at The Wellington Centre (click here to read more about her).

During pregnancy reflexology can be used to gently and safely relieve symptoms such as back pain, sciatica, nausea, fatigue and acid reflux.  It is often used to help turn breach babies between 34 and 36 weeks with a good success rate. After 37 weeks this rate dramatically drops, therefore a course of at least 6 treatments from 30 weeks is recommended to give maximum benefit and to promote a healthy natural labour. 

More than 3 out of 4 first babies arrive after their due date.  Reflexology can be used to help induce overdue labour which in many cases saves the expectant mother from the anxiety and stress of an artificial induction.
Post-natal Reflexology helps to restore the mother’s general health and immune system after birth and in particular promotes tissue healing which is especially helpful after trauma or caesarean section.

For those who are unfamiliar with the treatment, Reflexology is an ancient Eastern healing tradition which enables imbalances or energy blockages to be found and treated.  This is based on the principle that all parts of the body are connected by energy pathways which end in the hands, feet and head - removing these blockages can restore optimum health and rebalance the body and mind on all levels. 

The treatment involves gentle stimulation and massage of reflex points on the hands, body or feet with each point corresponding to a particular organ or body system.  This releases tension and helps energy to flow around the body inducing a calm and positive sense of well-being.

Treatments are carried out fully clothed with a short consultation at the first meeting about yourself, medical history and how the treatment can be of benefit.

Paula is, like all Wellington Centre therapists, fully insured.
