Prenatal Massage
What better way to nurture yourself and your growing baby than with a nice, relaxing massage?
While a woman is pregnant her body undergoes enormous physical changes. These can cause stress or discomfort to the mother. Massage is a wonderful way to help alleviate many of these discomforts, as well as promotes a sense of well-being.
Benefits that a mother may experience:
- Reduces swelling in hands, feet and ankles
- Can lessen sciatic pain
- Can ease muscular discomforts in areas like the lower back & neck, or calf cramps. It also helps with tension and tightening that can be experienced throughout the body
- Tones loose muscles while relaxing tense ones.
- Increases blood and lymph flow which can help increase the elimination of toxins through the circulatory and lymphatic systems. This can also help with fatigue.
- Increases oxygen in the blood, sometimes on up to 10-15% after a massage.
- Stimulates the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain killers, into the brain and nervous system.
- Helps increase blood circulation, which in turn delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the mother and baby.
- Can be used during the birth as well as after making both experiences easier and more comfortable.
- Eases stress mothers often feel after the birth
