Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a very special and exciting time in a woman’s life. During this period the body undergoes many changes in preparation for the birth. However some of these changes can leave expectant mothers feeling tired and uncomfortable.
As your body shape changes during pregnancy, your posture alters to accommodate your growing baby. This can lead to backache from muscular and ligamentary strains, as stress is placed on your lower back. Softening of the joints, weight gain and swelling can also add to your discomfort, making it difficult to sleep.
Massage is particularly valuable during pregnancy as it:
- Eases away muscular tension - especially over the back, neck, shoulders and leg areas
- Helps reduce excess fluid retained in arms, hands, legs and feet
- Relaxes - enjoy some much needed ‘me time’
- Reduces anxiety and stress
- Improves your mood and general feeling of well-being
- Reduces fatigue and aids sleep
Increasingly, expectant mums are discovering the pleasurable benefits of pregnancy massage. Why not take some time out to relax, pamper yourself, and soothe those aches and pains that come with pregnancy?
