Expectant mums experience unique physical and emotional changes that occur as a result of increased weight, shifting posture and changing hormone levels. While this is a beautiful time of expectation and joy, mothers-to-be also endure increased physical discomfort that ranges from muscular tension and headaches to pressure on the knees.
Prenatal massage is a natural, touch therapy treatment aimed at easing these and other pregnancy related symptoms.
Massage helps the expectant mother by easing the load on the heart and keeping the blood pressure stable, improving the lymphatic and circulatory systems to help control varicose veins and relieving depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.
Massage eases many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, edema, round ligament pain, sciatica and swollen ankles and feet.
Benefits of massage for the pregnant woman also include increased blood circulation, which provides more oxygen and nutrients to both mother and foetus. This means greater vitality for the mother and better nourishment for the unborn child. Not forgetting how relaxing, healing and pampering massage feels at this wonderful but very emotional time.
As experienced , qualified therapists we choose techniques that are safe and effective for pregnant women to ensure a very pleasurable but safe treatment at all times.
