Pregnancy remedial massage is specifically tailored to the pregnant mothers needs.
It can be utilised from the first trimester, right through until your baby decides to join the world.
During pregnancy, a women’s body undergoes many changes, some of them stressful and can also be uncomfortable.
Some musculoskeletal changes a mother may experience are:
- Tight calves, which may cause cramping
- Stiff & painful lower back, which may be due to postural shifts changes
- Fluid retention
- Tension through neck & upper back
- Weight bearing joints placed under more stress due to increase in weight and change in center of gravity
Research has shown women receiving massage in pregnancy may experience:
- Improvement in sleep
- Reduction of oedema
- Stabilises hormonal changes and blood pressure
- Reduction of muscular discomforts
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Increase in energy
- Support from the hormonal changes in the last trimester and birth.
Pregnancy remedial massage is a perfect way to relieve stress physically and mentally as well as promoting well being, and giving some extra time looking after yourself before your baby arrives.
