 Massage as an alternative therapy has a lot to offer to future mothers. It has been proven that massage therapy is beneficial to the overall health of a soon-to-be mom. Pregnancy massage will help you reduce stress, alleviate aches and pains, and reduce muscle tension. Keep in mind when you are searching for a massage therapist that offers pregnancy massage that practitioners must complete proper courses to offer this service. These additional courses teach the proper positions and techniques for pregnancy massage so you and your baby are comfortable, safe, and you receive a wonderful and relaxing massage experience.
Different From a Regular MassageThe goal of a regular massage and a pregnancy massage is essentially the same, which is to help you relax and relieve any areas of tension or pain. However, a pregnancy massage is tailored to the specific needs that you are experiencing while pregnant. This is a very exciting time in your life but it is also very demanding of your body. With those changes come new aches and pains that would need to be addressed differently from a regular massage. Benefits of pregnancy massageThere are many benefits to getting a massage while pregnant. Not only will it help you feel relaxed, but it also addresses any areas of tension or pain that you may be feeling, often in your lower and upper back and your hips. This alternative therapy has been proven to help expectant mothers, specifically in their second trimester, to reduce pain and swelling. In addition to helping with any physical pains you are experiencing, prenatal massage also helps to improve your mood, decrease depression and anxiety, and decrease stress hormone levels. Is Massage Helpful for Labour?Pregnancy massage will also improve the outcomes of labour and ease labour pains. It prepares mothers-to-be for an easier delivery with sedating effects on the nervous system, promoting relaxation and stress relief. This therapy is a safe, drug-free, and effective treatment that is a great compliment to the care you are receiving from your doctor or another healthcare provider.

My sister is experiencing extreme back pain due to her pregnancy, which is why she's thinking of trying the prenatal massage. I agree with you that the pregnancy journey is quite difficult since pain and aches are inevitable. Although, it's also great to learn that this type of massage can also help decrease depression and anxiety.

Hi Rachel, Thanks for your reply! Prenatal massage is a great tool to get moms-to-be more comfortable physically and emotionally. We have lots of services in house to ease the pre/postnatal period. 3/17/2021 07:36:56 pm
You made a good point when you shared that going for prenatal massage can help you relax and relieve any areas of tension or pain. My sister just mentioned the other day that she has been dealing with extreme pain ever since she is in her third trimester. I will suggest to her going for prenatal massage as it can help her relax and ease her pain. 6/30/2021 10:30:10 pm
It really helped when you said that pregnancy massage can help reduce stress, alleviate aches, and reduce muscle tension. I am pregnant for almost six months and I can barely move because of all the discomfort I am feeling. I guess I should urge my husband to look for a reliable center on Friday that can make sure I will always feel comfortable and well-informed about my situation. 8/20/2021 01:03:51 am

You’re that “Nothing” when people ask me what I’m thinking about. 9/17/2021 08:37:25 pm

When your feet, legs, and hands start swelling during pregnancy, it is often caused by reduced circulation and increased pressure on the major blood vessels. 1/6/2022 08:22:58 am
My wife has been pregnant, and it's been very uncomfortable for her. I didn't know that massage could be so nice for pregnant people! She could definitely benefit from that, so I'll see what she thinks. 4/18/2022 05:32:44 am
When your feet, legs, and hands start swelling during pregnancy, it is often caused by reduced circulation and increased pressure on the major blood vessels. Massage can help stimulate the soft tissue, move the extra fluid, and reduce the swelling, leaving you feeling more comfortable. |
