Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a wonderful and exciting time for a woman.  This is also a time in our lives where our bodies experience drastic changes, both hormonally and physically.  We can feel bloated, fatigued; may experience morning sickness (or all day sickness—yuck) or other unpleasant, but common digestive complaints.  Our bodies are growing and shifting, sending our equilibrium completely off balance.  Well, we are here to help with all of that and you don’t even have to lift a finger…well, except to dial our number!

2^nd and 3^rd Trimester, acupuncture can be used for:

Heartburn

Hemorrhoids

Inducing labor (usually in 32^nd to 34^th week)

Easing pain of labor and delivery

Prenatal Massage can be used during the 2^nd and 3^rd trimester to ease muscle aches and pains, relieve stress, reduce swelling and water retention and promote an easier delivery. 

After the first trimester, lying face down during a massage increases the pressure on the uterus as well as the uterine ligaments. The safe alternative is to have the pregnant client side lying with her head, legs and stomach supported with cushions and pillows. The therapist can then work safely on her back without creating any increased pressure. For a portion of the session the client will be helped into a semi-reclining position with her legs elevated. This position allows the therapist to treat the rest of the body (shoulders, arms, hands, legs, feet, scalp, face), and it allows the client to experience great comfort and deep relaxation-in the safest way possible.
