Benefits of acupressure

Midwives magazine: Issue 7 :: 2011

Midwives in Australia are learning the Chinese technique of acupressure to help women through pregnancy, birth and postnatally.

Acubirth midwifery courses were launched this year at Sydney’s Red Tent Health Centre and have been accredited by the Australian College of Midwives. Around 150 midwives have participated in the courses, which are designed to teach midwives how to help women cope with fear and anxiety, and to manage pain naturally during pregnancy, birth and beyond.
