How TCM can help with pregnancy complaints

During pregnancy, the body undergoes many changes. Complaints such as back pain, tension, fatigue, or inner restlessness may occur.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers this phase to be a time of intense physical adjustment. Changes in the body are not only seen as individual symptoms, but in the context of the body, emotions, lifestyle, and the natural processes of pregnancy. It also takes into account which meridians—functional pathways that connect different areas of the body— are involved and how the body can best be supported.

With my mindful 4-step method from TCM, including qi gong, acupressure, and tuina massage, I will guide you in relieving your body, releasing tension, and creating moments of calm and regeneration.

This will strengthen your body and allow you to experience this special time with greater ease.

Common complaints during pregnancy

  • Lower back pain

  • Pelvic or sciatic pain

  • Neck and shoulder tension

  • Fatigue and exhaustion

  • Sleep Problems

  • nausea

  • Headaches or migraines

  • emotional fluctuations or inner turmoil

Special considerations during pregnancy

The treatment is specially tailored to this time of year:

  • Gentle, customized techniques from acupressure and tuina

  • Treatment recommended from the second trimester onwards

For your convenience:

  • Special pregnancy pillow with recesses for the stomach and chest – allowing you to lie comfortably on your stomach. Many women really enjoy being able to lie comfortably on their stomach again during pregnancy.

  • Alternatively, a comfortable side position with optimal support—possible at any time if that feels more comfortable for you.
