Pregnancy Massage helps alleviate swelling and pains associated with pregnancy.
- Facilitates the physiological process of gestation, by supporting the work of the heart, increasing cellular respiration, reducing edema, and contributing to sympathetic nervous system sedation.
- Alleviates stress on weight bearing joints and musculo-fascial structures. (sacro-iliac joint, thoraco-lumbar spine, hips, erector spinal musculature)
- Reduces and alleviates neck and back pain caused by improper posture, muscle weakness, and imbalance.
- Provides emotional support and physical nurturance (particularly for those who are alone in the process).
- Develops the sensory awareness necessary to embody kinesthetically the birth process.
- Provides a pregnant woman with the experience of loving, nurturing touch so that she will know how touch her own baby lovingly.
- Facilitates postpartum structural re-alignment of spine and pelvis and rehabilitation of abdominal and psoas musculature.
Please discuss with your doctor if pregnancy massage is right for you.
