Pregnancy Massage is the use of massage therapy during pregnancy to decrease some of the discomfort that often accompanies the time during pregnancy and after giving birth.
During a Pregnancy Massage session, the expecting mother’s comfort is the foremost priority. Additional bolstering, blankets, and heat pads may be used to ensure that the client is able to relax and find comfort on the massage table. Usually this means laying on one side or the other, but occasionally a mother will be able to find comfort on either her stomach or her back. Each client is approached according to her individual needs.
Common complaints treated during pregnancy massage are:
- Back pain
- Shoulder pain
- Hip pain
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Foot pain/swelling
- Headaches
The benefits of receiving Pregnancy Massage are:
- Increased comfort during the stressful months of pregnancy
- Decreased pain
- Increased circulation
- Decreased swelling in the limbs
Furthermore, the months after giving birth can be uncomfortable as well as the new mother adjusts to the postures of breast-feeding, and nurturing for a new born. New mothers are always welcome to get treated for these common postural imbalances, but also to just relax and enjoy some time to themselves!
