Massage during pregnancy can help your body and mind de-stress and give you precious personal time to focus on your pregnancy and upcoming birth experience. 

 

Massage can help ease the aches and pains that are new to your body throughout pregnancy.  Special techniques are used during pregnancy:

  • Lymphatic massage will assist your body in circulating fluids so you have less swelling in your hands and feet.
  • Compression and direct pressure will help to relieve stubborn trigger points that cause pain in your back and hips.
  • Facilitated stretching and movement will help your joints acclimate to the loosening effects of the hormone relaxin.
  • Sidelying positions are used to access your back, hips and back of your legs.
  • A propped up position is used for later pregnancy when lying on your back or sides is no longer comfortable.
  • Your body is more sensitive during pregancy, so moderate and appropriate levels of pressure are used.

Additionally, your therapist will give you suggestions for poses and stretches to relieve swelling and discomfort during pregnancy and for use during labor.
