BENEFITS OF A PREGNANCY MASSAGE

The human body undergoes very fundamental transformations during pregnancy, including postural changes, an enormous influx of hormones, weight gain, enlarged breasts, increased plasma and blood volume and the shifting of organs. Consequently, the journey can be uncomfortable and all pregnant women can expect some aches and pains at some point during the pregranancy.

The pregnanacy massage is becoming more and more popular, and has developed in to a very 'sought after' treatment. Although there has been little research done to confirm the benefits of pregnancy massage, there has been an increase in the number of woman who report improvememnets in their prenatal health and general wellbeing. These benefits can include the following:

Muscle & Joints

Massage relieves pain by breaking down the adhesions, releasing trigger points and pushing circulation into the area to increase oxygen and to stimulate the removal of toxins.

Low Back Pain / Sciatica

During pregnancy, muscles can compress the sciatic nerve, which causes pain radiating from the lower back down the leg. Massage loosens those muscles and releases the pressure on the nerve.

Upper Back Pain / Headaches

Massage relieves muscle tension, releases trigger points, stretches shortened muscles, and eases tension in the head, neck and shoulders caused by the body changes of pregnanacy.

Hormones

Pregnancy hormones are responsible for many physical and emotional changes the mother will experience. Massage lowers stress hormones, which reduces anxiety, improves mood and can increase sleep.
