Pre & Postnatal Massage

What is Pre and Postnatal Massage?

Pre and Postnatal Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal and postnatal care. It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during and after pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling). In addition, massage for pregnant women reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension - which aids in better sleep - and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.

What conditions is Pre and Postnatal massage used for?

Massage for pregnancy offers a number of benefits, and it's always encouraged to discuss with your therapist any everyday symptoms you'd like to see relieved. In addition, serotonin, endorphins and dopamine released by your body in response to massage provide an extra helping of the bodies natural pain reliever with the ordinary aches and pains of pregnancy. Muscle tension created by carrying the extra weight of a baby can be relieved by encouraging blood flow to the afflicted areas. This provides more nutrient-rich oxygen and also increases the flow of lymphatic fluid, which sweeps away toxins and metabolic waste. While a massage can't promise that your newborn will sleep through the night, it can provide you with a better night's sleep both during pregnancy and afterwards. Regular massage therapy not only helps diminish anxiety and discomfort, but boosts relaxation to release tension after birth.

Massage is a helpful tool with relieving baby blues and postpartum by hormone regulation, reduced swelling, improved breast feeding, and helps the healing process with c-section recovery.
