This is a therapeutic massage which is designed for pregnant women. During pregnancy our bodies go through many physical and hormonal changes which cause discomfort and pain, and which pregnancy massage may help alleviate. This massage is performed with you in a comfortable and supported position, usually with the use of pillows or cushions to ensure your safety.
You will find that this therapy will help reduce stress and anxiety, improve your circulation and also relieve any muscle tension or pain. As a result, this promotes relaxation and an improved sleep pattern. Physical discomforts which arise as a result of pregnancy can also be treated, including back pain, headaches and any swelling you might have in your hands or feet. These improvements will encourage overall health benefits in both mother and baby.
Pregnancy massage may be received during the entire course of your pregnancy, with each state providing unique benefits for expectant mothers.
During your first trimester, this massage can help to calm typical symptoms such as fatigue and morning sickness. For your second trimester you can find relief for the physical demands of carrying an increasing amount of weight which will cause stress in your back and muscles. In your third trimester, the physical discomforts will continue to be managed through pregnancy massage, with relaxation and stress relief being a much needed benefit.
As I offer home visits, you need not leave your home to receive a calm and patient approach, with your care being my priority while you go through both the physical and emotional demands of pregnancy.
