As the pregnancy progresses, gentle massage is very effective for the relief of lower back pain, aching shoulders and tired, swollen legs and ankles. In the third trimester abdominal massage can help the mother connect with her baby and it helps the baby relax, too. This treatment also includes energy work and gentle ante-natal exercises to help prepare for the birth.

Integrated MyoFascial Release

Integrated myofascial release therapy incorporates an integration of tried and tested soft tissue techniques. Integrating the techniques allows for a more effective and efficient way of re-adjusting and re-balancing the musculo-skeletal system thus bringing about a release and "unwinding" of restricted muscle and fascia. It is very effective in treating many musculo-skeletal problems, e.g. shoulder restriction, lower back and hip problems, neck immobility, scar tissue pain (lesions), and cranio-sacral problems. It is also a very effective treatment for TMJ.

Reflexology

Reflexology uses the feet (as a map) to treat the whole body. The principles behind it date back thousands of years. By manipulating and applying pressure to certain areas in the feet, the whole body can be re-tuned and brought back in to balance. Working on a reflex will help release blocked energy and stimulate the tissues and organs in that part of the body to which it is connected as well as the surrounding area. It relieves stress and tension, improves circulation, thus increasing the efficiency of the organs and cells. It also assists and improves waste removal and elimination of toxins and activates the body's immune system.
