Pregnancy Massage can help to alleviate many of the symptoms and conditions associated with pregnancy. During this amazing time of physical and emotional change, massage can be of enormous benefit to both the mother and baby. Beauty Revived uses techniques that work on the abdomen (if okay with mum to be) arms, hands, legs, feet, back, neck and shoulders. The Massage helps to prepare the body for the changes that occur during this special time and will help to promote a healthy, happy pregnancy, as well as labour and recovery period.
Studies show that women who receive regular massages have fewer complications during their pregnancy and labour and that their babies are more settled and content, suffering fewer baby ailments. Although pregnancy is a wonderful time, many changes take place in the mother’s body as the baby develops. This can put strain and pressure on the joints, ligaments and organs causing some pain and discomfort which massage can help alleviate. In addition, research also shows that the baby can greatly benefit from massage as endorphins (feel good chemicals) are released by the mother during massage that is passed onto baby, who will frequently respond to the massage treatment by moving and kicking.
Amongst many benefits, massage during pregnancy has been found to help alleviate:
- Muscle tension
- Muscle spasm & cramping
- Sciatic pain, prolapsed discs and Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD)
- Swelling oedema
- Back, neck and shoulder discomfort caused by hormonal and postural changes
It can also help improve:
- Quality of Sleep
- Reduce headaches
- Relieve heartburn
- Balance mood-swings and help depression
- Massage encourages the release of oxytocin, a pain reducing hormone providing vital relief of pain during labour and birth
Massage can be given weekly from the 2nd trimester onwards.
