At Praxis Lemm we offer pregnancy massage therapies in Berlin for all our Midwife patients. Massage therapy during pregnancy has been shown to provide many benefits, including a sense of wellness, improved relaxation, and better sleep. We suggest combing these massage therapies with pregnancy acupuncture. We offer various massages depending on your needs:. We have developed our own meridian massage according to our knowledge of TCM and the feedback we have received from our thousands of midwife patients over the years.
The massage is applied on the side, starting with the back then moves to the meridians on hands, arms and head. The meridian massage relaxes and nourishes the whole body and energises you during pregnancy.
Shiatsu targets physical, emotional and mental well-being by applying pressure on the meridians TCM. Shiatsu can be given through the loose, comfortable clothing. If a pregnant woman has a strong response to acupuncture needles, we apply acupressure and shiatsu.
The activation of the points is more gentle than with acupuncture. Some pregnant women, particularly those with morning sickness, respond better to acupressure and shiatsu than to acupuncture. Acupressure is pressure on the meridians TCM on the skin. Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, pleasant massage that brings the lymphatic fluid to a flow. Manual lymphatic drainage is also good for treating water retainment during pregnancy.
Massage for edema is very powerful and pleasant. Massage for edema removes for certain time all the fluid towards the heart so the body is able to metabolise it. According many studies the human touch is very powerful as it releases oxytocin but also a gentle therapy that is perfect for pregnancy.
