Specialist Pregnancy Treatments - Acupuncture, Massage & Reflexology

​

Pregnancy is a beautiful and wonderful thing, but it's not always comfortable. During pregnancy, your body undergoes a great amount of change and development.

 

Carrying a baby completely alters your centre of gravity, which puts strain on your neck, shoulders, abdominal muscles, lower back, and hips.  Added to this is the softening of ligaments (in preparation for child birth), and the extra weight that you now have to carry. It's certainly not news that most pregnant women suffer from lower back pain!

 

The postural changes and increase in weight are obvious, but other changes may be more subtle, like the strange and varied effects of hormonal shifts. 

 

Every Mum's pregnancy is unique and a mum to be can experience all to none of the common complaints at any stage of the process.

 

There are several forms of body work that can be greatly beneficial in helping to alleviate these symptoms and support your changing body during this process.
