Acupuncture for fertility
Whether you want to conceive naturally or if IVF is necessary, acupuncture can significantly improve your chance of getting pregnant. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine have been shown to be clinically effective for a number of conditions from fertility (male/female) to pre and postnatal care. The procedure involves inserting and manipulating filiform needles into various points on the body to balance hormone levels and stimulate blood circulation, making for a healthier pregnancy and birth. Acupuncture can be used as a drug-free alternative in your pregnancy for pre-existing conditions such as headaches, back pain and hay fever, as well as for pregnancy related conditions such as nausea, sciatica and post birth symptoms.
Our experienced Physiotherapist and Acupuncturist, Sruthi Nair, has helped many individuals and couples with varying fertility issues. Many of the couples she has treated have gone on to conceive successfully which is wonderful.
Pregnancy Massage
With all the necessary physical + emotional adjustments during pregnancy, massage can bring comfort, support and a wonderful sense of nurturing. It helps to reduce stress, relieve muscle cramps, reduce blood pressure, improve circulation, alleviate back pain + headaches + release tight muscles.

Pregnancy Reflexology
Reflexology is extremely safe and effective in treating pregnant women. It can relieve oedema (water retention around ankles and legs), bring high blood pressure down, ease stomach reflux or indigestion as well as back or groin pain. This treatment can also help promote contractions towards the end of the term. Reflexology during pregnancy is extremely relaxing not only for mothers to be, but for their babies who love it as well.
