Pregnancy Massage
A pregnancy massage is a specially-adapted gentle and soothing massage tailored specially for mother-to-be. It is a wonderful way to help reduce many of the discomforts experienced during pregnancy, as well as preparing you for labour, promoting relaxation and helping you cope with the emotional and physical challenges your pregnancy may bring. Benefits include relief from back, hip and leg ache, aiding sleep, reduction in swelling and easing labour pain.
You will be positioned safely using extra pillows for support and made extremely comfortable using my extra deep and wide electric therapy couch. Full body massage options are available as well as targeted massages focussing on problematic areas, such as your back and hips or perhaps your legs and feet – the choice is yours.
Pregnancy massage can be carried out from the second trimester onwards and benefits include:
- Relaxation and stress reduction
- Relief from muscle cramps, spasms and myofascial pain, especially in the lower back, neck, hips, and legs
- Increasing blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling
- Reducing stress on weight-bearing joints
- Improving outcome of labour and easing labour pain
- Enhancing the pliability of skin and underlying tissues
- Helping you cope with the physical and emotional strains of mothering.
