Pregnancy massage is a specialised type of massage therapy designed specifically for pregnant women to support their physical and emotional well-being during pregnancy. It involves applying gentle pressure to specific areas of the body to alleviate common discomforts associated with pregnancy, such as back pain, muscle tension, swelling, and fatigue.
Pregnancy massage is typically performed with the expectant mother lying on her side or with specialized pregnancy cushions that support the belly and hips. Our therapist will use a combination of techniques, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, Lymphatic Drainage and Cranio Sacral Therapy to target areas of tension and promote relaxation.
It's important to note that pregnancy massage takes into account the changes that occur in a pregnant woman's body. Our therapists will avoid certain pressure points and use caution when massaging the abdomen and lower back to ensure the safety and comfort of both the mother and baby.
Research suggests that pregnancy massage can provide numerous benefits for expectant mothers, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving circulation and lymphatic flow, promoting better sleep, and easing pain and discomfort. It can also help prepare the body for childbirth by improving flexibility and reducing muscle tension.
Overall, pregnancy massage can be a safe and effective way for expectant mothers to care for their physical and emotional well-being during pregnancy. As with any type of massage therapy, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before scheduling a session to ensure that it is safe for both the mother and baby.
