Registered Massage Therapy
Reiki & Hypnotherapy Registered Massage Therapy: The Riverside Acupuncture & Wellness Centre offers Massage Therapy to all patients undergoing Fertility Treatments. An important benefit of Massage Therapy for women during conception, pregnancy and post-partum is the reduction of stress hormone production. Stress can contribute to a variety of complications from high blood pressure and a higher incidence of miscarriage to prematurity, prolonged labour and infant irritability. Benefits of Massage Therapy include: - During Preconception:
Massage Therapy is an excellent way to boost the immune system and increase the general health of all the tissues in the body. Specific myofascial techniques can also reduce adhesions and scar tissue which may interfere with proper circulation of blood and lymph in the abdomen. A full body massage can greatly reduce your stress. Treatments can also focus specifically on areas of tension, such as the head, neck and shoulders.
Massage is a safe and gentle complementary therapy. If you have any concerns about receiving Massage Therapy during Fertility Treatments, please talk to your physician. - During Pregnancy
Weight gain during pregnancy places major strain on all the joints in the body, especially the spine, pelvis and legs. Massage helps to reduce muscle pain and improve circulation throughout the body, including to the uterus and the fetus. Massage also lowers blood pressure and reduces the discomfort of varicose veins and swelling in the feet and hands. Massage Therapists can also recommend stretching and strengthening exercises for you to do at home. Home visits can be arranged for high-risk mothers restricted to bed rest. - During Labour
If you are interested, our Massage Therapists can teach specific massage techniques to your husband or birth partner in order to assist you with pain management during labour. - After Pregnancy
Whether you deliver vaginally or by Caesarean section, the birth of a child requires a period of recovery for the mother. Lack of sleep and the muscle strain associated with breastfeeding and carrying a newborn can be overwhelming. Massage Therapy can help reduce physical and emotional stress during this adjustment period. Home visits can be arranged for parents who find it challenging to visit the clinic with a newborn. - Infant Massage Instruction
The benefits of Massage Therapy extend to children as well. Premature babies who are massaged tend to gain weight quicker. Parents can learn infant massage to help improve sleep, reduce gas and bloating, or simply to bond with a child at bedtime or after a bath. Both Susie King and Susan Alexander are certified Infant Massage Instructors.

Reiki: Reiki and Fertility Reiki is an ancient, non-invasive healing technique that treats energetic blocks within the body. These blocks – whether physical, emotional, spiritual or mental – inhibit the health and natural rhythms of the body and it’s potential. Reiki works to increase the flow of ‘chi’ or vital life energy flowing through the energetic pathways in the body. Optimal flow of chi maximizes the functioning of the organs – including the reproductive organs for both women and men. Reiki helps provide an energetically fertile site for a new life to be conceived. Reiki can assist the body functions and organs to perform optimally, and can energetically balance the functioning of the reproductive system and reduce the stress that people with conception challenges sometimes experience. Reiki is a hands based healing technique, either with the hands above or upon the body. Both women and men can greatly benefit from the deeply relaxing, regulative and invigorating experience of a Reiki treatment. At the Riverside Wellness Centre, we have Reiki Masters who provide individual treatments and teach Reiki at the basic and advanced levels.  | Denise Carpenter, a member of the Canadian Reiki Association, is trained as a Usui Reiki Master/Teacher.
