If you’ve been experiencing an ever increasing back pain or general discomfort in your body while pregnant, instead of suffering alone at home in silence, there is something you can do to truly ease the painful effects pregnancy is having on your body. Pre-natal pregnancy massage aims to reduce the discomfort and pain caused by the constant growth of the baby and resultant changes in weight distribution around the mother’s body. This can lead to aching muscles, joint stiffness and cramps as well as stress and insomnia.
The pregnancy massage therapist aims to stimulate muscle and circulatory function using unique pressure stroking movements. This method reduces swelling caused by poor circulation and pressure on blood vessels from the heavy uterus. By increasing blood circulation, the oxygen and nutrients present in blood cells also benefit both mother and foetus. Pregnancy massage releases tension and lower back pain is greatly reduced. Hormonal changes benefit from pregnancy massage as the relaxation process relieves any anxiety or depression. Post-natal massage aims to restore the elasticity of stretched skin and muscles to their pre-pregnancy state while also helping to aid relaxation and increase energy levels.
