Shiatsu for Midwives

Description

This practical guide offers effective alternatives to orthodox treatment and provides a valuable addition to modern midwifery care.- By Suzanne Yates with Tricia Anderson (2003) 188 pages

Based on traditional Chinese and Japanese approaches to health, shiatsu can be used to alleviate many of the chronic symptoms of pregnancy, such as backache, insomnia and morning sickness. Can also help during labour and birth, and relieve postnatal problems such as heavy postpartum bleeding or difficulties with lactation. Shiatsu encourages the body to balance its own natural energy by gentle stimulation of its energy pathways - the meridians - the same pathways used in acupuncture.
This book covers both the theory and practice of using Shiatsu. It looks at professional issues surrounding the incorporation of shiatsu into safe practice, examines the key concepts of shiatsu and the difference in outlook between East and West, concentrates on the practical application of shiatsu techniques in maternity care and provides ideas for adapting techniques to enable self-healing for the midwife.

. Focuses on a range of shiatsu treatments suitable for maternity care, providing examples of safe and effective techniques that can be performed during a short session.

. Specific techniques designed to help with many of the common problems of pregnancy, labour and early motherhood.

. Discusses the research base that underpins shiatsu, providing the most up-to-date information to support evidence-based care.

. Fascinating case studies provide many anecdotal accounts of effectiveness.

. Clear line drawings and photographs accompany the techniques, aiding understanding and successful practice.
