Is Reflexology safe in pregnancy?

As a general rule, yes reflexology is safe in pregnancy.  We advise avoiding reflexology in the first three months of gestation. However, if we decide to use reflexology for morning sickness we avoid the areas of the uterus and cervix (on the inner aspects on the ankles). 

You might like to look at the Reflexology section of this website, which goes into this in more detail and sets out the study that we have done and presented to the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists on 16th November 2001, which helps to prove the safety of reflexology in pregnancy.
