Pregnancy is a wonderful time for a woman, but with the joys of a new baby comes many changes to the mothers’ body putting pressure on joints, ligaments and organs often causing discomfort and pain. Pregnancy Massage can help alleviate aches and pains and other common health problems associated with pregnancy.
Preparing for the arrival of a new baby brings much excitement, but also plenty of stress, massage can help reduce stress levels due to its calming effect. Research shows that the baby can benefit greatly from massage as “feel good” endorphins released by the mother during the massage are passed onto the baby. It is not unusual for mother to feel the baby kick and move as it too responds to the massage treatment.
The massage is carried out with the client lying on her side and the baby is supported using pillows. This enables the therapist to work on the clients back, arms, legs, feet and abdomen. The client can also have a mini facial massage is requested.
