Acupressure for Natural Pain Relief in Labour

If you’re pregnant and looking for a better birth experience, at last there’s a professionally produced instructional video app offering a detailed explanation of acupressure in labour for both you and your support people.

The acupressure methods outlined in the app are really easy to use, promote natural birth and encourage close partner involvement. As a mum-to-be you need to know that acupressure is safe. Unlike acupuncture where needles are used, acupressure applies physical pressure to specific acupressure points using the thumbs, fingers, hands, elbows, or with various other devices on the surface of the body. Acupressure may control pain during child birth and support your body as it proceeds towards labour. Your baby too can derive many benefits from acupressure. For example, it can encourage the baby into the most optimal position for birth.

The Acupressure for Natural Pain Relief in Labour app also includes testimonials from women and their partners who have used the techniques, and includes handy illustrated reminders for quick access.

Ideal for pregnant women and their birth partners, practitioners of acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu and massage, doulas, midwives as well as birth helpers.

•About Acupressure
