As a specialist Pregnancy and Postnatal massage therapist I thought in this blog post I would explain the benefits of regular massage treatments during pregnancy how it can help restore your body to pre-pregnancy state.
I offer mobile massage treatments from 12 weeks of pregnancy, once you have had your first scan, where I use Aromatherapy essential oils to enhance the benefits of the massage which are safe for both you and your baby. These oils offer a huge benefit during pregnancy especially if you are suffering from sciatica, cramps, aches and pains and also stretch pains.
Pregnancy is a wonderful time for a woman, but also a time of many physical changes due to the extra weight from the baby which puts pressure on the joints, organs and also ligaments which often causes discomfort and pain.
Not only can pregnancy massage be physically beneficial, but the human touch can be very comforting and provides emotional support during your pregnancy and helps prepare you for giving birth. Having a pregnancy massage has been found to help reduce both anxiety and depression.
Receiving a regular massage during pregnancy is a great way to nurture your body and become aware of the growing baby within. This also helps you to relax during labor which quite often results in shorter and easier births, have less pain and has a much lower rate of postnatal complications.
