The points used will help to soften or ripen the cervix and help to release the body’s natural hormones to prepare for labour. The massage will also focus on ensuring that the pelvic area is as relaxed and ‘open’ as possible. Deep relaxation is promoted to help the body move into labour and calm any anxiety. It is imperative that you check with your doctor or midwife that promotion of labour is safe and applicable, especially if a pre existing condition exists. Lymphatic Drainage The lymph system is a part of the immune system of the body, unlike the blood vessels it has no central pump and relies on the slow rhythmic pulse of the skeletal muscles to circulate it around the body. It helps to remove toxic waste and excess interstitial fluid from the body via the bloodstream. It also transports hormones and nutrients around the body and has a vital role in immunity. MLD or Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle light technique, which helps to circulate the lymph to create balance and flow. It can be used: Post surgery In conjunction with a detox Prior to Plastic surgery Cases of Lymphedema, when areas of the body have excess fluid To relieve puffy hands and feet As a boost to the immune system During pregnancy if hands and feet are puffy The benefits include: Increased health Prevention of illness.
