Pregnancy Massage Therapy

Pregnancy and Postnatal Massage Therapy combines various techniques like remedial massage, shiatsu, and acupressure to provide holistic care for women during pregnancy and after childbirth. This therapy is performed while lying on your side, with the bump, knees, and ankles fully supported, ensuring comfort throughout the treatment. It is designed to offer both physical and mental support, benefiting the mother at different stages of her journey.

Health Benefits of Pregnancy Massage Therapy:
Muscular Discomfort Relief:
Issues like leg cramps, muscle stiffness, tension, and knots are common during pregnancy. Massage therapy enhances circulation, stimulating blood flow to affected areas, helping to relieve discomfort.
Postural Muscular Imbalance:
Pregnancy causes shifts in posture, often leading to discomfort in the lumbar (lower back) region. Massage helps realign muscles in the lumbar area, restoring balance and easing discomfort.
Sciatic Pain:
Tightness in the buttock muscles can pinch the sciatic nerve, causing significant pain. Massage therapy focuses on relaxing these muscles, reducing the pressure on the nerve, and relieving the pain.
Constipation Relief:
Abdominal massage encourages bowel movement, providing relief from constipation, which is common during pregnancy.
Headaches and Sinus Pain:
Tension in the face, neck, and shoulders can lead to headaches and sinus discomfort. Targeted massage helps release this tension, alleviating pressure in the sinus area.
Swelling/Oedema Reduction:
Swelling in the feet and ankles, caused by increased pressure from the growing uterus, can be managed through massage, which improves circulation and promotes lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling.
This therapy not only helps manage the physical discomforts of pregnancy but also promotes relaxation and mental well-being, essential for both pregnancy and the postnatal period.
