Pregnancy reflexology Liverpool: Reflexology is based on the principle that one small area of the body represents a map of the whole body. Reflex zone therapy (RZT) is a branch of reflexology developed in Germany by a midwife during the 1950s. The therapy requires stimulating or sedating pressure points on the hands, feet, head, face, tongue or back that link to organs in the body using the microcosmic map to help achieve Homeostasis. Achieving Homeostasis enables the body to heal itself by facilitating optimal organ function. Reflex Zone therapy can be of huge benefit to women who are expecting a baby and as relief after baby has arrived. At Beyond Midwives we focus on the zoned map of the two feet. Reflex zone therapy can be offered to encourage labour and promote postnatal recovery.
