Pregnancy is a profound journey, but it often brings physical discomfort that can leave you feeling unsettled or overwhelmed in your body. If you are struggling with persistent aches... that dull lower back pain, the nagging tension headache, or that deep ache in your hip, you are not alone... And your body is asking for support!
At Reflexions Holistic Wellness, I offer Dry Needling as part of my Pre-Natal Remedial Massage treatments to help you find relief during this special time.
Why Dry Needling?
Dry Needling isn't just about chasing pain. It's about communicating with your nervous system and facilitating a release in over-worked muscles.
đżDeep Release: By gently targeting those stubborn, contracted muscle fibres (trigger points), we can invite your nervous system to down-regulate, releasing tension that has been held deep within the body.
đżBody-Mind Connection: When we ease physical pain, we create more emotional space. This practice supports your capacity for emotional regulation by removing a major physical stressor, helping you feel more grounded and present.
đżA Gentle Alternative: This approach offers a powerful, non-pharmacological pathway to manage common pregnancy discomforts like sciatica, hip pain, and tension.
Your Safety and Comfort are Paramount
My approach is trauma-sensitive and relationally attuned. When working with expectant mothers, safety and clear boundaries are my highest priority:
đżSpecialised Care: I only apply dry needling when indicated, always adapting the treatment to your stage of pregnancy and comfort levels.
đżPoints to Avoid: Specific areas are carefully and intentionally avoided (for example, abdomen, the lower back, and sacral region) to ensure the utmost safety for both you and your baby.
I always recommend a conversation with your midwife or OB-GYN first to ensure this treatment is right for you.
I am here in Melville to provide the experienced, hands-on guidance you need to feel safe and comfortable in your body throughout your pregnancy journey.
