Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy (or pre-natal) massage is becoming increasingly popular as it is acknowledged that the behaviour of the mother while pregnant has a direct impact on the development of their child.
Being pregnant is a wonderful experience for many women. As it is often accompanied by much discomfort due to the many biochemical, hormonal, emotional and physical stressors placed upon the woman’s body.
What are the benefits of pregnancy massage?
Reduced neck and back pain caused by improper posture, muscle weakness and imbalance
Improves blood circulation, leading to greater oxygenation and nutrition delivery to organs and tissues
Increased circulation of the lymphatic system reduces oedema and fatigue
Facilitates relaxation and helps to reduce anxiety during the pregnancy and can help prevent pregnancy-related insomnia
Provides emotional support and nurturing for the mother and can also help increase the mother’s awareness of their body throughout her pregnancy and beyond
