Pregnancy Massage
Pre-natal Massage
Pregnancy massage can be of enormous benefit not only to the Mother but also to the baby in utero. It emotionally and physiologically supports a woman during a time when her body is undergoing many changes and can help prepare her body for birth.
How does a Pregnancy massage work?
Pregnancy is a wonderful time for a woman, but with the joys of making a baby, comes many changes to the mother's body. You may experience pressure on joints, ligaments and organs often causing discomfort and pain.
Research shows that the baby can benefit greatly from massage as feel-good endorphins released by the mother during massage are passed onto the baby.
Receiving a regular pre-natal massage can make the mother more aware of her own body. This can help with the ability to relax during the 1st. stage of labour often resulting in shorter and easier births, less pain and a lower rate of postnatal complications. It can also lead to increased breast feeding success due to the increased prolactin and mammary development.
