What is Maternity Reflexology?

Reflexology was pioneered by Dr Fitzgerald and Eunice Ingham in Western society and offers a safe, gentle therapy that works on the feet or hands enabling the body to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, the body is in a state of "imbalance", and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Maternity reflexology can be used to maintain the body's natural equilibrium as part of a pre-conception care programme and throughout pregnancy.

Claire came to The Acupuncture Space at 41 weeks. Her baby was 3/5ths engaged in a cephallic position. We focused on the reflex points on the feet that corresponded to the reproductive system to help promote labour naturally. She had a baby girl the following day in hospital, with no medical intervention.

Key Principles of Maternity Reflexology:

Reflexology involves the gentle application of pressure to the feet from week 13 onwards.
Sensitive hands work to restore the free flow of energy, promote fertility, a healthy pregnancy and natural birth.
