Pre/post-natal Massage
Pre-natal Massage refers to specific massage techniques related to pregnancy, known to calm many of its discomforts such as sciatica, swelling, back and neck pain, and nausea. Studies indicate that pregnant women who receive regular therapy are often more at ease, therefore also relaxing the fetus. And yes, through each trimester, measures are progressively adjusted to accomodate the comfort and positioning needs of the patient.
In the postpartum period, specialized massage techniques can help to rebalance the structure of a woman’s body by improving skin elasticity and muscle tone. Massage also has a physiological effect on a new mother – it can help to ease any postpartum depression and encourage bonding with the new baby.
