Re: PREGNANCY: Pregnancy Massage From: Pat Sonnenstuhl (anonymous@obgyn.net) Mon, 30 Apr 2007 13:30:32 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Fabienne: "PREGNANCY: Variable decelerations on NST" Previous message: Kyle Ertl: "PREGNANCY: Pregnancy Massage" In reply to: Kyle Ertl: "PREGNANCY: Pregnancy Massage" Massage used in pregnancy and labor and postpartum can be very effective, depending upon the person doing the massage. I think it has really come into its own. I am not sure it could be used to totlly prevent pain in labor, but it does alter the perception of nerves and could be very effective. Another helpful non medical approach to labor is hypnosis. There are several excelletn prorgrams out there...HypnoBirthing: http://www.hypnobirthing.com/ and Hypno-Beginning: http://www.hypno-beginning.com/ You might check out your community and see what's availalble. Both sites have practitioners listed, and there might be someone in your area. I think the doctor that developed Hypno-Beginning is out of Ontario, so you might find yourself an OB provider also, who does hypnosis. Massage therapy, along with other types of compelmentary modalities can be very helpful in labor. -- Pat Sonnenstuhl, CNM, CPPI, HBCE, CHt Peace on Earth begins with Birth hypnosisforbirth@comcast.net Birth Counseling http://home.comcast.net/~prebirthhealth/birthcounseling.htm HypnoBirthing and Hypnosis for Birth http://home.comcast.net/~hypnosisforbirth/ At Mon, 30 Apr 2007, Kyle Ertl wrote: > >Hi there > >I live in Markham Ontario and recently visited maternitymassage.ca for >information on pregnancy massage. > >Has anyone found any benefits to pregnancy massage that last longer than >perhaps a few hours/days after treatment? > >I understand that this type of treatment might be favourable, as it >replaces the need for pain medication in most cases. > >Does anyone agree? > >Thanks so much. > >-- >Kyle Ertl > -- Pat Sonnenstuhl, CNM, CHT Hypnosis for Healing and HypnoFertility Therapy http://home.comcast.net/~prebirthhealth/hypnosisforhealing.htm http://home.comcast.net/~prebirthhealth/birthcounseling.htm Next message: Fabienne: "PREGNANCY: Variable decelerations on NST" Previous message: Kyle Ertl: "PREGNANCY: Pregnancy Massage" In reply to: Kyle Ertl: "PREGNANCY: Pregnancy Massage"
