Getting back on your feet after pregnancy with Face Reflex Therapy.
Bringing home a newborn baby is a very exhilarating feeling. Welcoming the new baby into the home is amazing but it is also the beginning of a big change in the dynamics of life as a family.
Face Reflex Therapy works through the stimulation of the reflex points on the face, sending impulses through the nervous system to the organs. Thus, the hormonal system, the blood flow and arterial pressure can be regulated and the muscular system relaxed or activated. The impulse achieved by the stimulation of the reflex points in the face is much more effective than the one achieved by stimulating the feet area, as the nerve endings are closer to the brain. Therefore, when a nerve point in the face is stimulated the impulse goes directly to the brain and continues its way to the reflex area.
Face Reflex Therapy also helps with neurological, skin, digestive, circulatory, urological, rheumatologic and hormonal
disorders. It is also very useful for headaches, insomnia and depression.
It can be applied at home by a trained therapist. It can be used as self help. Everyone can be treated, no matter the age.
Needles are not used. It does not cause any pain. The stimulation can be applied 2-4 times a day at home. For many conditions, the pain is relieved almost immediately. It has no contraindications.
It is important to remember that giving birth is a physically exhausting event and full of emotional experiences. A painful and
exhausting labor, combined with post labor pain, looking after a newborn baby and surviving on very little sleep can be very
challenging for a new mother. To add to this, the mother's hormones are unbalanced and are working extra hard to help the mother keep up with the demands of the new lifestyle. Taking care of a baby is a full-time job, it means 24 hours of attendance to the needs of a little person. With a newborn baby at home, the mother is on guard all day and this can be truly exhausting, physically and emotionally. It is therefore not only important to rest, eat well and count on friends and family for help, but also to have her body energized and restored back to normality.
