Reflexology:

Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet (or the hands). Reflexology is generally relaxing and may help alleviate stress.

The theory behind reflexology is that areas of the foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to the corresponding area of the body.

 

Reflexologists use foot charts to guide them as they apply pressure to specific areas. Reflexology is sometimes combined with other hands-on therapies.

Several studies indicate that reflexology may reduce pain and psychological symptoms, such as stress and anxiety, and enhance relaxation and sleep. Given that reflexology is also low risk, it can be a reasonable option if you’re seeking relaxation and stress relief.

Massage for Motherhood

Is a gentle massage that reduces stress, muscle strain and discomfort, sedates the nervous system (aiding in rest and relaxation), increases lymph and general circulation (resulting in more energy and less fatigue), helps facilitate hormonal and other

 prenatal processes and eases muscle strain postpartum. I have a massage table designed to adjust and support the

 expectant mothers body.

 

 

Stretching

Active and passive stretching are used to reverse shortened areas of connective tissue(fascia) allowing an increase in range of motion and reduction of pain. Stretching compliments all other massage modalities and should be used in combination.

Sedate life style and poor food choices can contribute to pain.

Habits are usually the reason aches and pains seem to come out of nowhere. Most people can’t pinpoint why they’re experiencing pain, unless they fell, twisted or were in an accident. 

Once the therapies help get you out of pain, maintenance is the key to staying pain free.

The key is regular and consistent:

massage, stretching, moderate exercise and food that is compatible with your body.
