Benefits of Massage During Pregnancy:

There is lots of research which supports the tremendous benefits of pregnancy massage. Baby also benefits from massage as ‘feel good” endorphins are released by the mother and passed on via the umbilical cord.
It is not unusual to feel baby kick and move as they respond to massage treatment.

Massage during pregnancy can help:

Common pregnancy complaints such as oedema, sciatica, carpal tunnel, nausea, pelvic girdle pain, headaches etc.
Reduce emotional stress and anxiety
Release muscular tension
Encourage release of oxytocin
Prevent sluggish bowel movement
Lymphatic drainage; enabling toxins to be eliminated effectively.

Pregnancy is a wonderful time, but it is also a time of many changes to a woman’s body and can put pressure on joints, ligaments and organs often causing discomfort and pain. It can also be quite stressful. Massage can help alleviate these conditions.

Whilst massage in all stages of pregnancy is both safe and beneficial, most practitioners won’t massage ladies within the first trimester (up to 12 weeks) due to the constraints placed upon them by their insurers.
