What are the benefits of a pregnancy massage?
The many benefits of pregnancy massage include:
– Reduced swelling of the hand, feet and ankles
– Lessens sciatic pain
– Eases muscular discomfort
– Tones lose muscles, relaxes tense muscles and helps increase flexibility
– Increases blood flow and lymph flow which increases the elimination of toxins
– Strengthens the immune system
– Relives anxiety & depression
– Eases sore spots
– Improves circulation and mobility
– With regular treatments massage can decrease stress and promote relaxation
Pregnancy massage is tailored to the needs of pregnant women and their changing body. Carrying a baby changes your center of gravity and puts a lot of stress on your back, neck, shoulders & abdominal muscles.
What is involved in a Pregnancy Massage?
Before booking a pregnancy massage is it important you speak to your midwife about your treatment/ condition and pregnancy- especially if your pregnancy has been high risk. Before your treatment in the salon we ask all pregnant women to fill out a full consultation form to ensure the massage is safe for you and to ensure you receive the best treatment.Throughout the treatment you will be made comfortable by lying on your side or sitting on a chair and resting over the bed (personal preference.) The therapist will ensure you are warm and comfortable with towels and pillows and will target the specific areas you have pointed out during the consultation.
If you have had any problems, concerns or specific needs it is best to let your therapist know during the consultation.
