Shiatsu Therapy for Pregnancy by Bronwyn Whitlocke (EPUB)
Shiatsu is a traditional method of treating illness through stimulating points and meridians with the fingers, thumbs and palms. Shiatsu Therapy for Pregnancy is an instructive manual for pregnant women, practitioners, partners, and birthing partners caring for pregnant women. The author provides practical solutions to a host of problems experienced during and after pregnancy. From the antenatal classes to the days and hours just preceding birth, non-intrusive remedies are provided. With early discharge policies now being the norm, women have to fend for themselves and deal with conditions such as arthralgia, lochiorrheoa, pain, fainting, urinary incontinence, constipation, and many more. This handbook describes the foundations for using shiatsu to alleviate the symptoms. For those suffering postnatal depression suggestions for lifestyle are a positive addition to assist women following delivery.
