Current evidence suggests that the pregnancy-birth phase of the Programme needs to begin at around 30 weeks gestation for low risk women who do not experience regular nocturnal sleep cycles of 7-8 hours duration at this time. This point in the fertile cycle coincides with the onset of nocturnal uterine activation. For women who already enjoy this pattern of sleep at 30 weeks, the pregnancy-birth phase of the Programme can begin at 36 weeks to coincide with the rise in maternal pain threshold.
This course, which is taught in two 2-day blocks, equips professionals with practical skills and the theoretical knowledge needed to use the LK Massage Programme effectively within their practice, to promote a circadian pattern of uterine activation and birth, and enhance maternal-infant sensory contact immediately following birth.
