Reflexology is one of the most popular natural therapies used by women during pregnancy because it helps to improve general well-being and vitality.

Reflexology aims to bring about a state of deep relaxation so that your body can adjust to the major changes taking place during pregnancy. It aims to improve circulation, breathing, digestion, regulate blood pressure, aids sleep and helps to alleviate many of the aches and pains of pregnancy.

Many expectant mothers continue to work right up to their estimated due dates and can often go into labour feeling exhausted. Reflexology has great restorative effects and aims to bring your body into balance in preparation for whatever kind of birthing you experience.
It is also thought that reflexology can be of great benefit to people suffering with fertility problems. During recent feedback from members, The Association of Reflexologists found that on average about 50% of clients seeking help through reflexology for infertility, found themselves pregnant within 6 months of commencing treatment.

It is beneficial for both partners to receive reflexology treatment when planning a pregnancy. There are many reasons for subfertility and in some cases IVF or IUI are the only options, reflexology in this instance aims to balance both body and mind to ensure that you are in the most relaxed state for your fertility treatment.
