The LK Massage Programme®
The LK Programme is a set of simple massage techniques taught to the birth partner ante-natally between 35-37 weeks pregnant. It includes simple visualization and breathing control to achieve pain relief and relaxation towards the end of pregnancy and throughout labour.
It has a sound science base and has been designed to support active labour and birth, incorporating upright positions, giving your birth partner an active role.
