Maternity Reflexology works on the same principal as general reflexology (Click Here for more details about General Reflexology), but focuses on the body systems involved with pregnancy and birth.
During the 40 week gestation period the pregnant mother experiences vast changes in her body as it nurtures her growing baby. These changes have a physical and emotional impact on mother and baby. By receiving regular reflexology treatments during this time these changes are easier to cope with.
