BENEFITS OF PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Increased circulation helps transport oxygen and nutrients to cells including those of your developing baby. It can also help reduce changes that can cause various veins forming.
Maintains muscular health and function. Keeping the muscles around the lungs and thoracic cage supple will help to keep the lungs expanding therefor providing plenty of nourishing oxygen to both the baby and yourself.
Massage works effectively on the nervous system to induce a sense of calm. This can help you sleep better and help your baby grow healthier.
Improves skin elasticity and increases flexibility and tone which can in turn ease cramping and reduce stress on weight bearing joints.
Eases lower back pain associated with pregnancy by addressing the lumbosacral tilt that occurs.
Stimulates the
endocrine system and the associated glands, which then helps to stabilise and reduce stress hormones to the baby.
Regular massage throughout pregnancy can help relieve tense shoulders, chest and back and also prepare for the breastfeeding stage.
