EMH® Massage

EMH® is a gentle, holistic approach that promotes balance and well-being throughout all phases of life, especially during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. These techniques help regulate hormonal, nervous, and muscular balance, reduce stress, and enhance body awareness.

​

During pregnancy, EMH® supports physical adaptation, encourages a physiological birth, and positively affects the unborn baby. After birth, it promotes postpartum recovery, releases tension, and supports the initiation of breastfeeding.

​

This method combines various elements such as bioenergetics, meridian massage, muscle chain work, acupressure, and classical massage techniques (e.g. cupping, connective tissue massage, APM, etc.) to stimulate the body’s natural self-regulation.

​

EMH® can help with many pregnancy-related complaints:

• Sciatic nerve pain

• Muscle tension

• Tight belly

• Breech/transverse fetal position

• Varicose veins

• Anxiety

• Stress

• Coping with traumatic birth experiences

• …and more

 

Pelvic Balance
A central component of EMH® is pelvic balance. Pelvic imbalances can cause symptoms such as sciatic pain, tension, restless legs, or swelling (edema). The pelvic balance technique helps relieve these symptoms through gentle, rhythmic movements and targeted manual techniques. Muscles, fascia, and joints are relaxed, allowing the pelvis to feel freer and more mobile.
This method enhances circulation, relaxation, and optimal fetal positioning for birth. Complementary exercises can support long-lasting results. The number of treatments depends on individual needs—we’ll discuss this in an initial consultation.

EMH® for Babies
EMH® supports newborns during their crucial early development and helps them achieve a healthy balance. It offers solutions for imbalances, sleep disturbances, or excessive crying in infants.

​

EMH® in the Postpartum Period
Even after birth, EMH® can be used to relieve discomfort and enhance well-being in your body. Through specific techniques, it helps restore muscular balance, particularly in the core and pelvic region (e.g. in cases of persistent rectus diastasis, pelvic floor pain, back pain, or breast discomfort).
Scar tissue treatment is also part of EMH®—painful scars, including those resulting from childbirth, can be effectively treated.

​

Full Body Massage
During a one-hour session, the entire body is massaged—both during pregnancy and postpartum. Tension is specifically and gently released. Stress levels are lowered, and trust in your own body is strengthened.
