Body Ballancer and pregnancy.
Your questions answered.
Feel better, look better, live better
Can the Body Ballancer® be used during pregnancy?
Absolutely! A course of Body Ballancer® lymphatic massage treatments – particularly during the third trimester – will not only relieve
the discomfort of heaviness and tightness caused by water retention, it will also lessen or even prevent the formation of spider and
varicose veins and reduce the appearance of cellulite – another unlovely side-effect of the hormonal changes that are part and parcel
of the pregnancy journey.
Why is it recommended?
Significant hormonal changes occur during pregnancy which often leads to excessive water retention and fat accumulation – the latter
particularly around the buttocks, hips and thighs – as Mother Nature ensures that there is always a plentiful supply of both for mother and baby.
How many treatments will I need?
Just a single session will provide significant benefits, leaving the legs and feet feeling lighter and energised, and a course of treatments
will really help make those last few weeks of pregnancy much more bearable.
Won’t it be uncomfortable over the tummy area?
One of the unique features of the Body Ballancer® pants means that the air cells over the abdominal region can be deactivated, so
no pressure is applied in this area at all, whilst a soothing, relaxing massage can be delivered to the legs and feet to relieve the uncomfortable pressure caused by tissue swelling.
Is it safe to use Body Ballancer® post pregnancy?
Yes it is. The adjustable pressure of the Body Ballancer® massage (together with the ability to switch off the cells over the abdomen if
necessary) means that you will still be able to enjoy the benefits
How soon after the birth do I need to wait?
Despite the current trends to ‘shed the baby weight’ or get back to that pre-pregnancy body alarmingly quickly, we strongly recommend
waiting four to six weeks post-partum before using the Body Ballancer®.
What if I had a caesarean?
Again, we recommend waiting four to six weeks, but this will of course depend on your own recovery experience. If you are in any discomfort or the scars are healing slowly, you should ask your doctor before using the Body Ballancer®.
Is breast feeding a factor?
No. The Body Ballancer® is perfectly safe to use whilst breastfeeding.
What are the benefits post-pregnancy?
Used post pregnancy, the Body Ballancer® will:
- Help burn off the excess fat.
- Effectively address any lingering fluid retention.
- Improve the appearance of cellulite.
- Promote relaxation and reduce stress.
Do please remember to always obtain your doctor’s approval before treatment, and discuss your individual birth experience with
your Body Ballancer® therapist, including any complications that you may have experienced during your pregnancy. This information will
help them create the optimal programme for your needs, to ensure you get the absolute best from this wonderful treatment.
Lymphatic health and the science behind Body Ballancer
How it works
The Body Ballancer® uses patent protected inflating compression garments to apply a gentle or firm massage. Each garment contains 24 individual air chambers that overlap to apply fluent compression strokes that target every inch of the treated area.
This massage motion, with its specific direction of flow from the base of the limb to the torso, increases circulation and gently but thoroughly decongests the problem areas of lower abdomen, hips, thighs and buttocks (Ballancer® pants) and upper arms (Ballancer® jacket).
The Body Ballancer® action accelerates the removal of waste products and excess fluid via the lymphatic system, reducing the appearance of cellulite, improving skin tone, and reducing volume in areas affected by excess fluid retention whilst Its gentle, rhythmic action promotes relaxation whilst boosting immune system function.
