Shiatsu and pregnancy

During pregnancy, you may experience a variety of symptoms including backaches, headaches, fatigue, nausea and abdominal pain. Shiatsu can offer natural pain relief by using gentle acupressure and specific points to relieve tension and create a feeling of deep relaxation.

Puffiness and swelling caused by water retention is another problem you may encounter during pregnancy. This often appears in the feet and lower legs, but can also appear in other parts of the body. By improving your overall functioning, Shiatsu can stimulate your body to restore its natural hormonal balance.

Over-acidity during the first trimester is often the cause of morning sickness. Reduced flexibility, cravings, and increased tension in the body may also be traced to over-acidity. Shiatsu combined with simple dietary suggestions and corrective yoga stretches can counter over-acidity, improve flexibilty, and increase your ability to manage stress.

You can have shiatsu treatments right up to birthing. It is also a wonderful way to restore your energy and physical integrity a few weeks after childbirth.
