Prenatal/Postnatal Massage
Prenatal Massage:
Studies show that regular massage during pregnancy reduces muscle and joint aches and pains, anxiety, depression, and improves labor outcomes. Prenatal massage specifically addresses discomforts that come during pregnancy.
Prenatal massage has been shown to:
- Reduce swelling
- Reduce nerve pain
- Reduce back pain
- Reduce muscle tension
- Reduce stress and anxiety
- Improve sleep habits
- Improve circulation
- Improve labor outcomes
This Massage is performed with the mother in side lying position. Pregnancy cushions, designed for optimum comfort in this position, support the mothers body. During the massage, common areas of tension that occur during pregnancy are focused on, along with any areas the mother requests.
Postnatal Massage:
The first few weeks of postpartum can be very challenging and painful as adjustments are made to meet the needs of a newborn. It can be difficult to feed, change diapers, lose sleep, remember to eat and drink, all while the mothers' body is trying to heal. With the sudden drop in hormones, the mother may experience stress, anxiety, and depression. Postnatal massage can calm the mother and aid her body to returning balance.
Postnatal massage can help:
-Speed recovery
-Speed healing
-Decrease neck/shoulder pain from carrying baby
-Return uterus to pre-pregnancy size
-Support healthy lactation
-Reduce postpartum depression
-Reduce stress and anxiety
-Improve energy
-Balance hormones
A happy mom leads to a happy baby!
