Shiatsu for Pregnancy
Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing and supportive treatment for the mother-to-be. It helps ease muscular discomfort and back pain and relieve symptoms of morning sickness, caused by growth and hormonal changes during pregnancy. Each treatment is individually adapted to each woman’s needs and also benefits sinusitis, headache, low energy, odema and restless legs, varicose veins, haemorroids and other conditions. Shiatsu is given after the first trimester and is an ideal, safe treatment right through to the birth itself. Shiatsu by its very essence enables people to be more connected with their own energy and during pregnancy with the energy of their baby, in a very direct way. In this sense it can be one of the most powerful therapies for women at this time. Post Natal Shiatsu Shiatsu is very beneficial to a mother’s recovery from the energetic demands of growing a baby and offers wonderfully relaxing and nurturing postnatal treatments as well as much needed moments of tranquillity in the manic period that often follow a birth. Changes in the body after giving birth are as dramatic as during the pregnancy itself and it is important to take time out of our busy lifestyles to replenish the body and calm the mind. The benefits of post natal Shiatsu include; Relaxation and calm, Better circulation (helps muscle tone recovery), Increased lymphatic flow (this can help with mastitis and milk flow), Relief from muscle aches and pains, Promotes general well being, A vital period of peace and quiet.
