Pregnancy Massage
Massage during pregnancy differs from a regular massage in a couple of ways. Positioning during a massage is critical to the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby she is carrying.
The massage table is set up so you are in a semi-reclining position on your side. This is not only really comfortable for you as mother-to-be but is also safe for your baby. Extra body pillows are used to provide support to ensure your comfort during this quality time.
Benefits of Pregnancy Massage include:
- Tranquil relaxation and reduce stress
- Relief from muscle cramps, spasms, and myofascial pain, especially in the lower back, neck, hips and legs
- Increase in blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling
- Reduce stress on weight bearing joints
- Improves outcome of labour and eases labour pain
- Enhances the pliability of the skin and underlying tissues
- Provides support for the new mother with physical and emotional strains of mothering
