Are you expecting a baby in the coming weeks or months?Pregnancy Massage

 

You may not realise but A Healing Touch offers Pregnancy Massages! Here are a few reasons why you should book your Pregnancy Massage with us:

 

Pregnancy Massage relieves joint and muscle pains.

In a 2010 study, it was found that pregnant women who received massage therapy for about 20 minutes per week, for 5 weeks, experienced relief from upper and lower back pains, leg cramps and hip joint pains. These are symptoms that are commonly experienced during pregnancy.

 

Pregnancy Massage boosts immunity for both mother and baby.

Massage improves blood circulation. This enables oxygen and nutrients to be distributed throughout the body, while toxins are flushed away. For pregnant women, this means that both mother and baby receive nutrients needed for health while the immune system is strengthened.

 

Pregnancy Massage helps maintain good posture.

During pregnancy, your body changes alignment. Whether you have a small or a huge baby bump, the extra weight from the baby changes your centre of gravity. Regular massage increases muscle flexibility, which can enhance your posture and overall ability to carry that additional weight, while keeping your legs and back strong.

 

Pregnancy Massage improves relaxation and sleeping habits.

During Pregnancy Massage, the body releases endorphins (the ‘happy hormones’!) which help the mother stay relaxed and at ease. This is also linked to better sleep quality, which is important for both mum and baby.

 

Pregnancy Massage helps to reduce the risk of a premature birth.

Stress is a big no-no for pregnant women, because when the stress hormone cortisol is released, it could give a signal to birth the baby, even when it’s not yet full term.

 

Book your Pregnancy Massage on our booking site. We are also able to offer postnatal massages, so take advantage of one of our packages and get some massage booked in for after the little one’s arrival.  You need to make sure you look after you, so you are in the best place to look after your child!
