Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

There are many benefits of having regular massage during pregnancy. It can help with:
- Relaxation - Responding via touch from the effects of massage, your body naturally enhances relaxation to the muscles.
- Blood Circulation - The mother's circulatory system benefits from the treatment and it also provides circulatory benefits for the needs of her unborn child. This means greater vitality and less fatigue for you and more nourishment for your baby.
- Breathing - Helps the respiratory system allow more efficient breathing, as well as pain relief and reduction of muscular-skeletal strain.
- Headaches & Sinus Congestion - Massage applied to the face, head, neck and shoulders, relieves sinus pressure and alleviates tension.
- Muscle Imbalance & Weakness - Postural change to the lower back muscles can cause imbalance and weakness. Massage treatment will encourage the lumbar area to regain balance relieving painful symptoms.
- Cramps/Muscle Spasms - Commonly experienced in pregnancy, massage improves circulation in the legs, through stimulating blood flow.
- Swelling - Extra pressure your uterus places on your legs, can lead to swelling in your feet and ankles. Massage will improve circulation and lymph flow to the effected areas.
- Constipation - Regular massage will allow your bowels to move.
- Childbirth - Massage can help you prepare for the birthing process. Regular treatment to the lower back, abdomen, and inner thighs can release chronic tension in these areas for minimal resistance during delivery.
- Sciatic Nerve - Massage therapy helps relieve some of the tightness and reduce the symptoms associated with sciatica.
- Itchiness/Stretch Marks - Healing oils are blended for treating itchiness and to refine your stretch marks.
