Sophrology Shown to Help with Perinatal Stress

Perinatal stress during pregnancy can be harmful to the developing foetus and newborn baby. Now sophrology has been shown to be a simple and effective method to reduce stress in pregnant women. A recent study assessed the impact of sophrology on perinatal stress monitored by cortisol level and found that the sophrology intervention reduced cortisol levels when compared with a control group. The study is published in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Forum Journal and can be accessed here.
