 Reflexology in Labour
During labour, reflexology is of great help to improve and stimulate several conditions that occur during the process, and as a consequence, helping the mother to better administrate her energies. An experienced mother who has gone through the process of labour, knows how important is to be concentrated in a proper labour work, while reserving her best energies for the crucial moments. Reflexology helps in all the physiological process, aiming that the body will be able to use its natural resources and trying to avoid as much as possible the use of chemical substances and medication, only when necessary.
The following are the most common cases in which reflexology is of valuable help during labour:
-
Regulating contractions (stimulating or sedating according to their efficacy)
-
Induction, instead of using chemicals.
-
Pain and relaxation
-
Helping to urinate
-
Helping bowel movements
-
Backache
-
Hyperventilation and correct breathing
-
Regulating body temperature
-
To release retained placenta
-
As a touch therapy itself, adding pleasure in the hard moments
