Menstrual disorders are disruptive and can have a major impact on the quality of life, physically as well as emotionally. There is a list of menstrual disorders, for example Dysmenorrhea, Menorrhagia, Premenstrual Dysphonic Disorder (PMDD), Endometriosis, PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Symptoms are not limited to heavy bleeding, missed periods, back pain, leg pain, abdominal pain/cramps, nausea and vomiting, headaches, irritability and mood swings can occur before and/or during menstruation. Where painful, irregular or heavy periods exist, it is important to address hormonal fluctuation when they are at their most responsive, e.g. on the first day (or as close) to ovulation and the first day (or as close to) menstruation. Treatments are performed on the feet and lower legs and take around 60 minutes. The first treatment includes an initial consultation and can take up to 80 minutes, as we will be discussing personal information regarding lifestyle, diet and nutrition, exercise and activities, stress and anxiety, and emotional aspects and previous medical history. If Endometriosis, PCOS or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is suspected a test by a medical specialist should be taken to confirm this.

Having a baby is not about fertility or implantation of the egg but it is the interconnection and balance of both systems. Reflexology can benefit a woman at every stage of her pregnancy, from conception through all three trimesters, during labour and even post-partum. Pregnancy can be a stressful time for a woman and reflexology can help to support common conditions associated with pregnancy such as tiredness, nausea/morning sickness, pelvic girdle pain and lower back pain, sciatica, heartburn, constipation, insomnia, swollen limbs etc. Women who experience infertility are more likely to suffer from heightened depression and anxiety symptoms than women in general. Stress is a complex condition which affects almost all parts of the body in some way. There is some evidence that to suggest that it may also affect fertility. Feeling stressed may be detrimental t the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy. Reflexology is not an instant route to conception but can help to relax, improve mood, aiding sleep, helping to relieve tension and giving a sense of wellbeing which can help improve a couple’s chance of conception.

Stress can cause infertility and infertility can cause stress. Both are often the main preventers for getting pregnant. The medical term for problems with getting pregnant is infertility. Fertility is the meeting of the egg and the sperm from two individuals producing a new mix of DNA. But, pregnancy only occurs at the implantation stage. Some couples may be very fertile but never have a successful implantation, whereas some may have perfect implantation mechanisms but fertilisation fails. Reflexology places you into a restful and relaxed state and helps the body to work more efficiently by creating a healthier environment for a possible pregnancy to occur. Having a baby is not about fertility or implantation but the interconnection to the two systems to allow for conception. It's all about balance. Reflexology treatments are about creating homeostasis, a balance between the body systems, taking stress levels down, put the body and mind into a relaxed and restful place to allow the body to work as its designed to. But Reflexology must not be seen as a magic cure-all, cannot guarantee a pregnancy, cannot unblock fallopian tubes, or heal menstrual disorders. It's all about balance. Treatments are on a weekly basis for the first 3-6 months. Each session takes one-hour sessions. Reflexology is To make an informed decision the Association of Reflexologists released a research paper in 2021 which evaluated complementary therapy as a tool for conception and fertility: Analysis of fertility clinic marketing of complementary therapy add-ons. Another article was published by Jane Holt in September 2014 Can reflexology help overcome infertility?

For most women pregnancy is a time for joy and celebration but they may need some additional support. Reflexology is one option for improving wellbeing. Together with general lifestyle guidance in pregnancy, Reflexology aims to optimise the physical and emotional health of the mother-to-be. Reflexology allows time away from busy day-to-day life and offers a time and space where you can focus purely on yourself and your growing baby and talk about how you are feeling about the arrival of a new baby into your life. Many women are now choosing to have reflexology throughout their pregnancy and postnatally as it can offer many benefits such as aiding relaxation, reducing anxiety, generally de-stressing and improving sleep. Reflexology can be used safely throughout pregnancy; Reflexologists will take a full history to ensure that it’s safe and appropriate to carry out a treatment. Legal & Ethical Issues: Although there is a small risk of miscarriage in any pregnancy there is no evidence that reflexology can cause a miscarriage or increase the risk. A reflexologist does not take sole repsonsibility of care for the client. This can only be the remit of the midwife and the GP. In this situation, a reflexologist works complementary to the existing healthcare team.

Babies learn about the world through touch and sound. It promotes bonding with others. Babies who are regularly touched have a more stable heart and breathing rate and can be less tense and irritable. Reflexology is about homeostasis or balance to help with emotional and physical stresses such as colic, teething, reflux, sleeplessness or other digestive issues. Stress and anxiety affects the nervous system leading to reduced blood flow to the soft tissues. Reflexology supports good blood circulation and allows the body to feel calmer and more relaxed. Teenagers are often more reluctant to ask for help. They can feel embarrassed, confused and unsupported when navigating the physical and emotional stages of growing up. Relaxation and Hormone balancing techniques can help to stimulate and balance the Central Nervous System and Endocrine System, especially when dealing with an early onset of menstruation, supporting teenagers to feel calmer and more in control.
