PREGNANCY MASSAGE


To nurture the birth of a mother and her baby with skilled touch is one of the most intellectually challenging, inspiring, and life-enhancing experiences that a massage therapist can engage in.

Pregnancy massage will help to promote relaxation through times of emotion and change, soothing those aches and pains, and enhancing your relationship with your body and unborn child.

The Art Of Pregnancy Massage

Mums-to-be will know most pregnant women feel discomfort and added stress on their bodies at different stages in their pregnancies, and that a woman’s body undergoes many changes physically and emotionally.

Women who have never been drawn to having a massage in their life will be charmed with the result of a higher level of well being.

Pregnancy massage focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be. Your body undergoes many changes, and as part of any woman’s prenatal care routine this therapeutic bodywork will give special attention, which in turn will nurture the new life that grows within you.

How Can Pregnancy Massage Help?

Pregnancy is a time when a woman goes through psychological, physiological, spiritual and social changes, a time of elevated hormones, and constant demands on the mother’s body.

Some of the changes to the body produce discomforts, which can be managed with appropriate massage therapy.

  • Relaxation - Responding via touch from the effects of massage, your body naturally enhances relaxation to the muscles.
  • 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.

  • Blood Circulation - The enduing effects of massage is rewarding, allowing the mothers circulatory system the need to benefit from the treatment but also to provide circulatory benefits for the needs of her unborn child.
  • Itchiness/Stretch Marks - Healing blends used for itchiness to refine your stretch marks.
  • Post-Natal Therapy - Helps to restore your body back to its pre-pregnancy condition by toning the muscles in the abdomen and reposition the pelvis.
