Pregnancy Thai Yoga Massage by Adriana Pop at Chelsea Natura Health Clinic, 208 Fulham Road, Sw10.

Pregnancy Thai Yoga Massage is a wonderful type of massage that can be experienced safely and happily throughout pregnancy. It utilises massage techniques along with acupressure, reflexology and yoga methods to help the body and mind relax and improve the natural flow of energy. This helps to remove blockages and allow a free flow of energy which places the body back into balance thereby improving health and healing.

Thai Pregnancy massage can be performed with the mother lying on her side which is very comfortable especially during the later months of pregnancy. Changes in body shape and increased weight often causes postural imbalances during pregnancy. This leads to backache, calf and leg pain and tension in the shoulders. Pregnancy thai massage is very effective in releasing tension in the back and calf muscles and improving general body alignment and posture. It is relaxing and at the same time energising

Pregnancy Thai Yoga Massage can help reduce water retention, especially around the feet and ankles and improves the blood circulation. It can also safely support the inducement of an overdue baby.

Thai yoga massage is great at relieving the lower back of all those aches and pains associated with the weight of carrying the little one(s) and is very effective at relieving sciatica and leg tension. At the end of the massage a serene sense of calm and and yet revitalisation are shared by both mother and baby.

Reflexology and depression by Adriana Pop at Chelsea Natural Health Clinic, Fulham Road, SW10.

The exact cause is not known. Anyone can become depressed. Some people are more prone to it, and it can develop for no apparent reason Reflexology helps clients to deal with the symptoms of depression such as insomnia/ disturbed sleep, anxiety, low vitality and fatigue etc.

When people are feeling stressed or depressed, they often sleep poorly. Reflexology can help soothe a troubled mind and body and induce a sense of calm and relaxation, generally helping people to sleep better.

Reflexology is very helpful for depression sufferer as it works emotionally and mentally as well as physically.

To alleviate depression, a reflexologist will concentrate on reflexes of endocrine system including all the hormonal glands which are related to emotional stability and mental health working especially on the reflex of pituitary gland ( the spot in the middle of big toe or thumb) , thymus, pineal, thyroid and parathyroid.

Reflexology for depression will also focus on associated reflex points as are  the reflexes for solar plexus and diaphragm that help clients helps clients go into deep relaxation and to breathe deeply, also the reflexes associated with heart, chest, lungs.
Gentle pressure to the adrenal reflex point is also very helpful for body response to stress.
I also focus on the reflexes of brain and spine (central nervous system ) to calm the whole body system and to release the emotional or physical tension.

Reflexology can also help the release of endorphins within the body. Endorphins are the feel good™ chemical that we naturally produce and are known for relieving stress (which can have a big impact on depression).

In order to feel a maximum effect a course of treatments are recommended.
