Pregnancy Treatment
In our East Sheen Clinic we offer pregnancy massage, Acupuncture for pregnancy and Mummy MOT appointments all designed to support you in the lead up to birth and after your baby is born. Our pregnancy pillow allows you to lie on your front safely during treatment.
Karolina offers traditional Acupuncture which can offer significant support throughout pregnancy across its trimesters:
1. First Trimester:
Morning Sickness: Acupuncture can help alleviate symptoms of morning sickness, offering a drug-free alternative to managing nausea and vomiting.
Fatigue and Insomnia: It can also address fatigue and insomnia, common during early pregnancy, by promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality.
2. Second Trimester:
Although many women feel better during this time, acupuncture remains beneficial for managing minor symptoms like constipation, heartburn, hypertension, insomnia, sinusitis, and skin rashes. Regular sessions can help maintain overall well-being.
3. Third Trimester:
Preparation for Labour: Acupuncture in the weeks leading up to delivery can prepare the body for labour by reducing anxiety, promoting relaxation, and potentially decreasing the likelihood of medical interventions.
Efficient Labour: Studies suggest that acupuncture sessions in the month prior to birth may contribute to shorter labour times, reduced need for pain medication, lower rates of caesarean sections, and overall more efficient labour experiences.
Overall, acupuncture offers pregnant women a holistic approach to managing symptoms, supporting their physical and emotional well-being, and preparing them for childbirth.

Treatment is aimed at reducing this effect alongside a tailored muscle activation, stretch and strength program. Massage stimulates many effects to improve recovery and decrease pain. It can increase blood flow, decrease swelling and stimulate healing and pain reduction.
Our massages in East Sheen can be tailored to your needs. During pregnancy firm sports massages are fantastic for injury recovery, pain reduction and flexibility, enabling you to stay active throughout. Therapeutic massages are perfect for stress relief, recovery and relaxation. Whatever you need, we have it covered.
