Maternity Massage

Maternity Massage is a wonderful way to relax, increase energy, neutralize sleeping problems and relieve discomfort during pregnancy. A maternity massage is something special for you at a time when so much of your attention is focused on the baby to come. A maternity massage helps you to become more aware of your body, and of the tensions that can build up during the day. Massage can also help with many of the aches and pain that can develop as your body changes during pregnancy.

Massage can:
- Relieve pain in the muscles and joints that must support added and redistributed weight.
- Increase flexibility, making it easier for your body to adjust to a changing shape.
- Reduce excess fluid retention by gently pushing fluid into circulation where it can be eliminated.
- Slow the progress of varicose veins as enhanced circulation lowers pressure on bulging veins.

Beside the immediate relief you get from a massage, you may also learn ways to make yourself more comfortable at home. You will be comfortably supported with pillows during your treatment. In later pregnancy, you can experience a complete massage in a side-lying position. Massage is healthful and enjoyable during a normal pregnancy. However, because massage is not appropriate for some conditions, your massage therapist will want to know about your general health and your pregnancy.
