Our Gentle, Trusted Therapy for Expecting Mothers

 

Pregnancy brings visible and invisible changes to a woman’s body. As the belly grows, posture shifts, pressure builds in the back and pelvis, and discomforts such as constipation, reflux, and insomnia may appear.

“Maternity Hands Care” is our original, soft-touch therapy developed to ease these changes. It may look simple—just a gentle touch of the abdomen or back—but this unique care can bring powerful, deep effects to the whole body. Here’s why it works.

 

 

Gentle touch, deep inner balance

This therapy begins with a light, supportive touch to the abdomen. The goal is not to press or stretch, but to softly engage the internal organs, fascia, and autonomic nervous system. This subtle method helps the body relax, improves organ mobility, and releases inner tension.

Clients often describe feeling a deep breath returning, a lighter belly, or a sense of calm spreading from within—without any forceful manipulation.

 

 

Tailored to the unique needs of pregnancy

During pregnancy, hormonal changes loosen ligaments and shift spinal balance. As the uterus grows, it presses on the intestines and stomach, often causing digestive discomfort or reflux.

Our Hands Care technique is designed with full awareness of these physiological changes. We avoid unnecessary strain and provide support where your body needs it most—safely and gently.

 

 

A method born from clinical experience

Our team has performed over 100,000 therapy sessions across our two locations—Physic Ebisu and our partner clinic, San Smile- Hachioji Chiropractic. Over 3,000 of those sessions have supported women during pregnancy or postpartum.

Through this extensive experience, we developed our Maternity Hands Care method: a soft but deep-reaching technique using hand contact and precise tools. It’s a practice rooted in anatomy and intuition, combining safety, sensitivity, and clinical skill.

 

 

Restore your nervous system and inner calm

Light abdominal touch activates the parasympathetic nervous system, signaling the body to shift into “recovery mode.”

 

Clients often report:

• • • “My belly felt warmer during the session”
    • “I didn’t realize I fell asleep”
    • “My mind felt clearer afterward”

This gentle nervous system reset improves not just digestion, but sleep, emotional stability, and hormonal rhythms.

 

 

 

Safe care for the late stages and postpartum recovery

In the third trimester, many women experience swelling, shallow breathing, or posture collapse. Maternity Hands Care is one of the rare techniques that can be applied safely even in this advanced stage.

By supporting organ function and reducing tension, it also helps prepare the body for childbirth. And if continued after delivery, it assists uterine recovery and rebalancing of internal organs.

 

 

 

Conclusion

Maternity Hands Care is a unique form of holistic bodywork for pregnancy. Through gentle touch to the belly, fascia, and nervous system, it helps your body return to its natural rhythm and strength.

Backed by over 100,000 sessions of experience, our method has helped countless women find comfort, balance, and confidence during this special time.
