Moms-to-be deserve a little tender loving care. Pregnancy can be a very stressful time in a woman’s life, on a physical level as well as emotional.
Prenatal massage increases blood and lymph circulation which results in relaxation of the body and easing of the mind. Prenatal massage relieves common pregnancy symptoms such as muscle cramps, spasms, and myofascial pain of the lower back, neck, shoulders, hips, and legs. Prenatal massage also relieves swelling of the extremities (arms, hands, legs, and feet), sleep difficulties, and psychological turmoil (stress, anxiety, fear, and restlessness). Prenatal massage can also help to relieve morning sickness, assist in shorter, easier labor and shorten maternity hospital stays.
