Prenatal Massage - What Are The Benefits To An Expecting Mother And Child?
Ah-- the joys of having your baby!
What's frustrating though is that along with your baby come unwelcome side effects like aching lower back pain, hips, legs, migraines, swollen ankles & let's not forget about the morning sickness.
What if I shared with you there was a massage therapy exactly for women who are pregnant that is designed to reduce some of the discomfort related to carrying a child and even facilitate their labor and delivery?
Often, soon to be moms don't necessarily get it that their bones structure is now not only carrying them...but it's also supporting their little one too. This additional weight can have serious effects on your system.
A professional prenatal massage therapist can direct those muscles that have been exhausted to relieve some of the tension and strain associated with carrying a child.
This soothing technique can be exactly what you need when you are dealing with the overwhelming amount of emotions and hormones associated with expecting a child.

Do Doctors Have Any Comments On This?
You might find it noteworthy that recent studies at the University of Miami, School of Medicine, show that just 20 minutes of massage twice a week for five weeks:
a) Lessens stress hormones in your body,
b) Improves those frustrating mood swings
c) Facilitates & promote better sleep
d) Lessens your anxiety and back pain.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg...these studies report expecting moms who received regular massages during their pregnancy:
· Had lower rates of premature birth,
· Fewer obstetrical challenges,
· Babies had fewer postnatal difficulties.
What Are The Additional Benefits Of Prenatal Massage Therapy That Come To Both A Pregnant Women And Unborn Child?
Research shows that the prenatal massage may:
a) Lessen the nervousness, anxiety & depression associated with the hormonal changes brought about by pregnancy.
b) Diminish stress on lower back, pelvis, and ankles which are not used to carrying a baby
c) Reduce back, shoulder neck pain caused by your muscles being out of whack.
d) Increase your blood and lymph circulation, which in turn helps to lower swelling and actually assists the baby's oxygen supply.
e) Unwind muscle knots that cause cramping, tightening, and tautness.
f) Reduce your aches and pain and simultaneously encourage relaxation, which can believe it or not actually facilitate your labor
g) Assist muscle and skin tone
h) Help you sleep deeper so you don't have to wake up exhausted in the morning
