Resources Available through Tokyo Physio
TENS Machine
TENS is a natural form of pain relief that helps take the edge of the pain felt during labour. It is very simple to use and safe for the mum & foetus, many women have come back to use it for there second pregnancy. It can be used in combination with other pain relieving modalities. You can hire the machine for 10,000yen, and your international health insurance may cover this. You pick it up a couple of weeks before your due date and return it after delivery. A therapist at Tokyo Physio will spend 10 minutes with you explaining and showing you how to use it, you are interested please enquire at appointment@tokyophysio.com. More information about Tokyo Physio can be found at www.tokyophysio.com.
Breathing Class
The breathing class is a 2hr class held on the weekend. It is a very small personal class which allows for interaction and thus very time effective. The use of breathing techniques during labor can make it a less painful, more efficient labor and overall enable you to cope better. The class is very practical, a short introduction with the theory is followed by practice of the breathing techniques and then feedback is given. The fee is 8,000yen/couple and we run them only held a few times a year. To enquire please email at: appointment@tokyophysio.com
Pregnancy Massage
Massage during pregnancy can help relieve the familiar aches and pains, thus preventing any injury or build up of stress.
We have 2 very experienced massage therapists available at TokyoPhysio Massage & Pilates. Brendon (works full time) is a qualified myofascial therapist who has experience massaging pregnant women. Our other therapist Lisa (works part time) has also extensive experience massaging women pre & postnatally. Lisa is also experienced in lymphodeoma massage.

Physiotherapy can be useful for a number of issues post natally. Some of these include incontinence, abdominal separation or weakness, lower back pain and wrist problems.
If specifically looking for incontinence or pelvic floor treatment Vanessa is the therapist who will provide this. Currently she is only available certain times of the year,so you will need to put your name down for treatment. She will arrange a time with you when she is available. Please enquire through appointment@tokyophysio.com

Post natal Pilates
Strengthening of the back & abdominals is extremely important after a pregnancy as you are more at risk of a back injury due to weak abdominals and repetetive lifting. Pilates is a perfect way to begin your road back to recovery following a pregnancy. Pilates aims to strengthen the core (pelvis, back, abdominals) and postural muscles. This involves a combination of floor work, balls, balance discs, bands and specific pilates machines. Pilates can be taken privately or in very small groups.
