Pregnancy massage offers numerous advantages for expectant mothers and their babies. Here's how this specialised form of massage can enhance your pregnancy experience:
Stress and Anxiety Reduction • Lowers maternal stress and anxiety levels significantly • Decreases cortisol (stress hormone) production • Minimizes cortisol crossing the placenta, benefiting fetal development • Creates a calmer environment for both mother and baby
Boost in Feel-Good Hormones • Stimulates release of endorphins, nature's pain relievers • Increases oxytocin production, promoting bonding and relaxation • These beneficial hormones pass through the placenta to the baby • Enhances overall mood and well-being for mother and child
Effective Pain Relief • Targets specific areas of discomfort, similar to remedial massage • Alleviates common pregnancy-related issues:
Muscular Tension Relief • Addresses postural changes due to growing belly and shifting center of gravity • Eases tension in overworked muscles, particularly in the lower back, neck, and shoulders • Improves overall body alignment and comfort
Oedema (Swelling) Reduction • Stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce fluid retention • Particularly beneficial for swollen ankles and feet • Improves circulation throughout the body • Helps maintain healthy blood flow to the uterus
Blood Pressure Regulation • Promotes relaxation, which can help stabilize blood pressure • May reduce risks associated with pregnancy-induced hypertension • Regular sessions can contribute to overall cardiovascular health
Enhanced Sleep Quality • Increases production of serotonin, a natural sleep regulator • Promotes deeper, more restful sleep • Helps combat pregnancy-related insomnia • Improves overall energy levels and daytime functioning
