Pregnancy Massage

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care, with benefits for both mum and baby. It is a healthy way to ease pain and reduce anxiety, promoting overall wellness during this special time.

Massage increases blood and lymph flow which is vital during pregnancy. Efficient lymph flow helps to reduce swelling caused by an accumulation of fluid in the tissues, whilst improved circulation means more efficient delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the cells.

Massage during pregnancy can relax nervous tension, helping to relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes and promote better sleep. Pregnancy massage is performed in a side lying position and can take place from 12 weeks and up until your baby arrives.

Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as:

• Leg cramps
• Sciatic pain
• Backache
• Headaches
• Swollen legs and ankles
