Pregnancy Induction Reflexology

One hour £65

Pregnancy induction reflexology is a natural, holistic approach aimed at encouraging labour and easing tension in women who are full-term. By targeting specific reflex points, it may help the body prepare for labour, release tension, and promote relaxation.

Pregnancy induction reflexology is a specialized form of reflexology aimed at encouraging labour in women based on the idea that specific points on the feet, correspond to different organs and body systems. By applying pressure to these reflex points, practitioners believe they can stimulate the body's natural processes, including promoting the onset of labour.

How Pregnancy Induction Reflexology Works

In pregnancy induction reflexology, a therapist applies pressure to certain reflex points believed to be linked to the reproductive system, uterus, and pelvic area. These points may encourage uterine contractions, ease tension in the pelvis, and promote relaxation—helping the body prepare for labour. Reflexology can also help release oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates contractions and helps initiate labour.

Benefits of Pregnancy Induction Reflexology

Pregnancy induction reflexology can help by:

• Encouraging Natural Labor: Reflexology may support the body’s natural processes and potentially help initiate labour, reducing the need for medical induction.
• Relieving Pain and Tension: Reflexology can help reduce discomfort in areas like the lower back and pelvis, which can help ease labour.
• Reducing Anxiety and Stress: Reflexology promotes relaxation, helping to release tension and reduce anxiety about labour.
• Balancing Hormones: By stimulating points linked to hormone regulation, reflexology may help balance hormones, which is helpful for labour preparation.

What to Expect During a Pregnancy Induction Reflexology Session

The practitioner will work on both feet, focusing on specific reflex points to stimulate the reproductive system and promote relaxation. A relaxing pressure will be used but at some specific points a firmer pressure will be used. Many people find reflexology soothing, and it’s often reported to reduce stress and anxiety.
