Alternative and complementary methods during laborAncy Abraham
INTRODUCTION
Even though delivery is a natural phenomenon, it has been demonstrated that the accompanying pain is considered severe or extreme in more than half of cases. Besides conventional approaches, such as epidural analgesia, many complementary or alternative methods have been reported to reduce pain during labor and delivery.
(1).These methods are popular because they emphasize the individual personality, and the interaction between mind, body and environment (2). They are attractive to people who want to be more involved in their own care and feel that such therapies are more in harmony with their personal philosophies. The conventional medical community usually offers traditional choices of analgesia, such as epidural and intravenous drugs. Patients may have access to alternative methods, but will generally be obliged to do the relevant research themselves beforehand. Those seeking alternatives are not necessarily dissatisfied with conventional medicine, but attempt to supplement rather than replace traditional care. Quite often, users of complementary medicine do not inform the practitioners in charge of their pregnancy and delivery. There are also different expectations for the management of pain during labor according to the category of professionals. Physicians are expected to provide pharmacological therapy, whereas midwives, nurses and other auxiliaries are required to assist patients with psychological methods, and in fact use alternative approaches more often. The theoretical bases for many alternative methods derive from Eastern tradition or philosophy.
ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES
Alternative therapies are used instead of conventional or mainstream therapies for examples, the use of acupuncture/acupressure rather than analgesics to relieve pain.
COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
Complementary therapies are those used in conjunction with conventional therapies for example meditation used as an adjunct to analgesics drugs.
Nature of Pain During Labor and Delivery
A scientific definition of pain is ‘an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage . Acute pain such as labor pain has two dimensions: a sensory or physical dimension, with the transmission of information, the pain stimuli, to the brain, and an affective dimension due to interpretation of these stimuli through the interaction of a wide variety of emotional, social, cultural and cognitive variables unique to the individual.
Components of pain
For the management of pain, conventional medicine focuses more on the physical side, while alternative methods deal mainly with emotional considerations. In the laboring patient, the two stages of labor correspond to different types of pain and routes of transmission. During dilatation (first stage), visceral pain predominates, due to mechanical distention of the ce
The document contains a nursing care plan for a postpartum patient named Janet U. Dela razo.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:

Litre of fruit juice in a week; 8 glasses of water per day, and a cup of decaffeinated
coffee. She gets protein mainly on chicken, beef, cheese, egg and milk. She is a non-

She suffers from constipation but she considers herself very healthy. She never has
any muscular pain because she is relaxed at work which at the same time her home
as well. V.A finds it easy working on her patient because the old lady is independent
though she needs supervision. She only feels distressed due to financial needs of her
family and her extended family as well.
She has combination type of skin. Her stress level in general is 2 (1 – 10 where 10 is
worst and 1 is least).
She has signed a complete informed consent form and was made fully aware of the
treatment and its benefit and effects. She never had a proper massage therapy so
she feels excited about the session.
REASONS FOR TREATMENT:
V.A wanted to have the treatment for general relaxation and to know how proper
massage goes.
TREATMENT PLAN:
To promote relaxation by doing full body massage 60 minute per session for three
consecutive weeks using mainly effleurage, petrissage kneading and percussion. The
strokes will be light and slow for general relaxation giving emphasis on the abdominal
region to improve bowel movement.
These strokes will be performed to facilitate general circulation and lymphatic flow.

2. Session 1 /Date: 17 February 2011
BEFORE THE SESSION:
The client feels excited about the massage and kept on asking about the benefits of
proper massage as she says. Though excitement is imperative, I can feel she is bit
anxious so I assured her that it is the same massage that she thinks that soothes and
relieved only that it is done with a training therapist. She was anxious if her
constipation will be resolved after the treatment.
Since the client was expecting a lot from a proper massage treatment, I explained to
her the rationale of draping, the ambiance of the room, up to the treatment strokes
before I let her sign the disclaimer form.
She said she don’t feel too distressed and rated her stress level only 2 (10 is worst and
1 is least)
DURING THE SESSION:
Full body massage with light strokes was performed with light percussive movement
for complete promotion of relaxation and physical and mental well being. Calming
massage music has been played. Grapeseed oil is used as massage medium.
Client asked for a firmer pressure on the upper and lower back. Even though she
doesn’t complain of pain or any discomfort on her back, I felt some muscle tightness
on the upper trapezius and erector muscles. The pressure applied is well enough to
relieve tension (“wow, that’s great) I also felt some knots and when I did circular
friction on the rhomboids and teres muscles, she said it was relieving as if something
has been pulled out from her arms. Though the client mentioned the lump on her
wrist which she was anxious about, I informed her that I was able to palpate any. The
hand muscles were smooth.
Client confirms relief while doing deep effleurage and requested more pressure.
The client was apprehensive when I unintentionally put pressure in the colon when I
reinforce palmar kneading. So I gradually, lighten my hands to make movement flow
smoothly and in rhythm. I spent extra time in doing the abdominal to improve bowel
movement.
AFTER THE SESSION:
The client said that she thought she was okay but she felt better after the session. I
asked the client to drink at least 2 glasses of water to aid her flash toxins and help the
bowel movement for better evacuation.
She said she feels stronger and lightened up. She said she is looking forward to the
next sessions and how she was wishing this session won’t end.
I reminded the client on the contra-actions of massage and she said she will definitely
be fine.
STRESS LEVEL:
The client said she is totally free from stress. If she can rate it negative 1 then she will
say so.

3. HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Continue doing regular exercises
2. If within 24 hours muscle soreness is felt, hot bath or hot shower is good for
general relief.
3. Drink plenty of water to aid in bowel movement
4. Take bigger portion of foods rich in fibre to avoid constipation
5. When feeling bloated, try to rub abdominals in clockwise direction (this is the
movement of food in the colon)
REFLECTIVE PRACTICE:
I felt happy that client was satisfied and her expectations were met. I felt guilty when
I thought I hurt the client when I initially applied pressure in the abdominal upon
reinforcing palmar kneading. Next time, I will be more careful,

4. Session 2 /Date: 24 February 2011
TREATMENT PLAN:
To promote relaxation by doing full body massage using classical massage
techniques for 60 minutes. Light strokes will be performed as a start with progression
on pressure to decrease tension on the erector muscles and upper trapezius and to
aid good general lymph and blood flow. Practical advices on maintaining good
lifestyle and diet will be suggested later on.
BEFORE THE SESSION:
The client felt relaxed and empowered after the last session. V.A said for the first time
she evacuated twice the next morning. She said she drunk more water but couldn’t
monitor her diet and include fibre-rich foods. She takes what is only available in the
fridge. She feels shy to request for extra food for her to be included in her old lady’s
shop list. But she tried to take more greens the previous week.
Though the client looks so vigorous and excited for the session, she rates her stress
level 5 (10 is worst and 1 is least). However, she said, physically she doesn’t feel any
discomfort. She said that the reason why she feels distressed was that her family were
in need of extra cash for the maintenance of the property she bought. Unfortunately,
her salary has been held due to technical problems in the banking system. She slept
late night and wakes up early because she was thinking about this matter and she
has to talk to her family with 8 hours time difference from UK. But generally, she said
she was fine.
I sanitized her feet and did the initial routine of draping.
DURING THE SESSION:
Full body massage with light strokes was performed with light percussive movement
for complete promotion of relaxation and physical and mental well being.
Pressure was progressively increased according to client’s tolerance to loosen tight
muscles of the back. I found that back muscles weren’t that tensed as in previous
session.
I left the player so no music has been played which I think is an important element in
providing much relaxing ambience. Grape seed oil is used as massage medium.
Client was sharing her emotional distress.
AFTER THE SESSION:
The client feels relaxed and more calm. She feels she can think more clearly now
because she felt she has just been freed from mental and emotional burdens. She
feels sleepy and requesting more extra time until the day ends.
STRESS LEVEL:
The client said her stress level is one and later on will be zero when she gets all the
sleep she needed

5. HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Try to relax and listen to soft and mellow music to change ambiance
2. Continue doing regular exercises
3. Drink plenty of water to aid in bowel movement and flash toxins in the body.
4. Try to have foods rich in fibre to avoid constipation
5. When feeling bloated, try to rub abdominals in clockwise direction (this is the
movement of food in the colon)
6. Take a hot bath for general relaxation.
REFLECTIVE PRACTICE:
I spent extra more time in this session. I got carried away with the client’s stories and I
lost track of time. It could have been more relaxing for the client if she has avoided
talking while having the massage. I felt disappointed to myself because the session
wasn’t good enough for me without the music. It could have helped the client enjoy
the massage more.
Generally, I was impressed that despite the shortcomings, I met client’s needs and
somehow listening to her stories made me realise that as therapist, it is also a factor to
let the client feel that they are heard but therapist must not dwell on their burdens.

techniques for 60 minutes. Light strokes will be performed as a start with progression
on pressure according to client’s tolerance to aid good general lymph and blood
flow and for general relaxation. Practical advices on maintaining good lifestyle and
diet will be suggested later on.
BEFORE THE SESSION:
The client noticed that tough she still having constipation; she is more relaxed in
evacuating. The client was relieved and unloaded of burdens on the last treatment.
However, this week, she was expecting her period to come. She felt generalised
fatigue, heaviness in the chest and headache which she consider normal prior to her
menstrual period. She thinks that since she hasn’t tried having massage prior to her
period, this session will make her feel really better.
I explained to her that I will only apply light strokes since her muscles are tender.
Her stress level is 4 because of the discomfort brought about by her premenstrual
syndrome.
I sanitized her feet and did the initial routine of draping.
DURING THE SESSION:
Full body massage with light strokes was performed. Client wasn’t satisfied with light
strokes. She said deeper pressure is better for her. She finds it more relieving and
relaxing for her especially the effleurage using my fist. I gave the pressure tolerable to
her but with cautions.
Calming and soothing massage music was played. Scented sweet almond oil was
used as a massage medium which she provided.
AFTER THE SESSION:
Though the client still feels tenderness, generally she was much more relaxed and
feels lighter. She feels sad that the treatment session has been finished. Though the
client thinks that she isn’t so distressed in life, she should continue having a massage
treatment because it gives her lighter feeling and much energised mood.
STRESS LEVEL:
Despite the tenderness, the client said her stress level is one.
HOME CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Continue to have a positive outlook in life and stay jolly.
2. Try to relax and listen to soft and mellow music to change ambiance
whenever felt emotionally and mentally distressed

It was interesting that despite the discomfort hormonal changes causes the client, she
appreciated the treatment very much and considered it very soothing.
Generally, I was impressed that despite the shortcomings, I met the client’s needs.
EVALUATION / CONCLUSION:
V. A has benefited from the consecutive weekly massage. She is more aware now
that massage and water therapy aids in good bowel movement. The client tried to
take and follow advice and it is very delightful to see how improvements in health
could be made when they do so. The client was very thankful that she had a proper
massage as she calls it and she said she will continue to have it and will tell her friends
about her experience. She said she loved the proper massage (massage done by
training / trained therapist)

1. Try to relax as much as a possible whenever financial constraint comes along.
