The benefits of Reflexology during pregnancy

Women benefit from complementary therapies during childbirth Reflexology benefits during pregnancy

Complementary therapies during pregnancy: The women in Gloucestershire are going longer without epidurals and labours are shorter thanks to a scheme involving complementary therapies and massage during childbirth. Around 26 per cent of the 6,000 mums who pass through maternity wards at Cheltenham General and Gloucestershire Royal hospitals are now opting to try complementary therapy. Midwife Asha Dhany, a trained reflexologist and massage therapist who has led the initiative, said: “Feedback has been positive and it’s working very well. “Some women say it’s just like going to a spa rather than being in a clinical environment.

Trained staff are on hand to use oils and massage to aid relaxation, provide a natural form of pain relief, speed up labour and to ease nausea and headaches. The options are first presented to women during pre-natal discussions, then they can choose oils. These include bergamot, which has antiseptic properties, clary sage, which can help speed up labour, frankincense to calm nervous tension and jasmine to reduce pain and headaches. The oils are used in baths, via massage, droplets or by douche. The scheme started 12 months ago and its success has surprised 130 midwives in the county who have been trained to offer natural therapy. “We use some oils, such as jasmine and clary sage, to speed up labour and others, like peppermint, to reduce temperature and combat nausea. Bergamot is very relaxing and offers good pain relief. “It was quite simple to implement the massage and essential oil and it makes the environment nice for women.” Alexandra O’Connell, from Prestbury, benefited from the therapies as she gave birth to Daisy-Ann, now two weeks old. She said: “I used essential oils to help ease the pain of the contractions and to help the whole process along. “It was nice to be able to do something for myself and the whole experience was very pleasant.” Vicki Little, who also used the therapy during childbirth, said: “It’s great that women have so many options these days. Any therapy that can help has to be welcomed.” Asha is now planning to complete a research Masters degree to see if she can confirm the anecdotal evidence. She said: “There is currently no medical evidence to show how much women are benefiting from the treatments, although midwives are reporting that they have seen a growing number of labours reducing in length and more women going longer without epidurals. “We do hope to do some research on this to see if we can back up our anecdotal evidence with statistics.” CHOOSE A REFLEXOLOGY METHOD: HOW TO READ REFLEXOLOGY CHARTS | FOOT REFLEXOLOGY HAND REFLEXOLOGY | EAR REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology treatment

What to expect from a Reflexology treatment?: A typical reflexology treatment is 45 minutes to 60 minutes long and begins with a consultation about your health and lifestyle. You are then asked to remove your shoes and socks and sit comfortably in a reclining chair or on a massage table. Otherwise you remain fully clothed. The reflexologist will assess the feet and then stimulates various points to identify areas of tenderness or tension. The reflexologist then uses brisk movements to warm the feet up. Then pressure is applied from the toes to the heel according to your comfort. Lotion or oil may be used.
