Acquiesce offers the opportunity for pregnancy carers and birthing facilitators to learn the basics of Pregnancy and Labour Massage.

Many Mums and their families need a helping hand when it comes to enjoying their pregnancy and birthing. Along with using other pre-labour initiatives, Mums can expect massage to help release areas essential for good passage and dilation, whilst keeping blood pressure in balance throughout their term.

Massage may also ease any mental tensions surrounding the lead up to birth and the birth itself; knowing that healthy decision making takes place in a relaxed and confident frame of mind. So let’s help Mums maintain their clarity and power so that they can give this opportunity their best shot!

The care and leadership we can provide them in these times will set the stage for a totally new approach to parenting.

Meet a healthier you!

Acquiesce — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:05:48 +0000

Everyone wants to be healthier but sometimes life gets in the way or they don’t know where to start. Well get started today by booking a Remedial Massage Assessment and receive a treatment plan that will get you back on the road to health. Regular massage is a great way to de-stress and relax, relieving those niggling knots/aches in your body!

Massage works by soothing soft tissue and encouraging relaxation. Massage is especially effective in treating ‘vicious cycle’ complaints. For instance, a tension headache is often self-sustaining because the pain makes the sufferer clench the affected muscles even harder. This, in turn, creates more pain. A thorough neck and shoulder massage can release muscle tension and break the pain cycle.

One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage prompts the release of endorphins, the brain chemicals (neurotransmitters) that produce feelings of wellbeing. Levels of stress hormones – such as adrenalin, cortisol and norepinephrine – are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system.

Because we value your health we have a range of Value Massage Packages available so you can afford to have the continuity of care you deserve and be a healthier you!

Pregnancy is an opportunity to continue to build intimacy, trust and commitment for each other and to the baby. Dad will soar in self esteem as he takes this productive and significant role in pregnancy and birth.

Midwifes, nurses, obstetricians and other maternity industry professionals have long advocated the use of therapeutic touch in pregnancy and labour. The use of massage has been shown to encourage natural birthing and increase those important feelings of connectedness between Mum, Dad and Bub.

Massage can work on many different levels. On the physical level it helps the body reset tight or strained muscles. Emotionally it may release any stress or frustrations and give you a sense of connectedness. Mentally it can clear our head and allow for a broader perspective. Spiritually it can help us to connect with whatever we think of as God.

Remedial massage is designed to relieve tension in the muscle and the connective tissue (or fascia). Remedial massage is recommended for individuals with long term joint pain, are involved in highly repetitive physical activities or those who have sustained injury from specific incidents.

The process of seeking out tight fibres in a muscle band may be healed using a combination of Deep Tissue massage methods including Neuromuscular Technique/Trigger Point Therapy, Positional Release Therapy, Accupressure Release and Muscle Stripping.

Remedial massage is very effective in helping with circulatory problems by aiding the body’s ability to perfuse the tissues with blood while also aiding in the removal of waste products from the cells. This allows cellular level healing which in turn facilitates tissue level restoration.
