Postnatal Treatments
-
The bit no one warns you about! The 4th trimester is the period (3 months at a minimum) following birth when the body experiences many physical and emotional changes. It is a time when hormones are regulating, the body is returning to normal and repairing from pregnancy, and you are physically and emotionally adjusting to life as a new parent.

Postnatally, Reflexology can be used to aid recovery following birth by not only promoting relaxation and wellbeing, but treating many conditions such as:
-Breast engorgement
-Stimulation of lactation
-Constipation
-Haemorrhoids
-Baby blues
-Prevention or reduction of postnatal depression
-Back pain
-Headaches
-Painful perineum
-Diastasis recti
The properties of many aromatherapy essential oils can also target numerous ailments in the postnatal period. Combined with massage, aromatherapy can bring both physical and emotional relief by easing muscles, increasing circulation and lowering stress hormones.
Choose a Reflex Zone Therapy (Reflexology) or aromatherapy massage treatment to help the body adapt to the many physical and emotional changes that accompany the 4th trimester. Take some much needed time for you in order to help rebalance the body and promote wellbeing.
Please note - Postnatal reflexology can be carried out up to 8 weeks following birth only, and up to 12 weeks for massage.
