Pregnancy Massage Therapy

PREGNANCY MASSAGE

During your pregnancy, your body transitions through certain changes: 

• Morning sickness.
• Breast swelling.
• Fluid retention/oedema causing swelling in your limbs.
• Strain and pain on your lumbar, abdomen and legs.
• Insomnia at times.
• Digestive issues.
• Weight bearing down on your pelvis, legs and feet.
• Strain in your abdominal muscles and ligaments.

Pregnancy Massage involves the application of various techniques utilized to treat the muscles, tendons and ligaments especially around the abdomen, back and pelvis  that stretch due to the growth of your baby in utero.  The  hormone relaxin, loosens and relaxes the tendons and ligaments and helps your body stretch and prepares your body for delivery of your baby.

• Morning sickness is eased with massage.
• Fluid retention and breast swelling is eased with lymphatic drainage techniques.  
• Strain and pressure on your abdomen and legs is eased with massage techniques and aromatherapy applied to your body.
• Sleep disorders will improve.

You will be able to lie you your tummy comfortably during your pregnancy massage with a lovely comfortable cushion.  It is lovely to lie on as it eases the pain in your back and gently enables stretching the ligaments in your lumbar spine.  You will receive gentle and caring massage with aromatherapy and relaxation massage.  It is safe for all stages of your pregnancy.

Post-natal is a time when mums can face emotional and physical challenges within their body and mind.  

Having massage post-natal can help ease your tiredness and relax your mind and body and heal caesarian sections.
