If there is one stage in a woman’s life where she’ll probably feel every bit of ache and pain magnified, it’s pregnancy. And since pregnant women cannot take any pain medications, they are merely advised to use natural methods to soothe the body. One thing that immediately comes to mind is pregnancy massage.
A prenatal massage is a therapeutic massage that
involves deep massages to the body. This massage is designed for the purpose if
improving blood circulation in an expecting woman’s body. Pregnancy massage
also helps in relieving the strain from joints and muscles caused by the added
weight. Hence, making a pregnant woman feel more comfortable and re-energized.
The fact is, pregnant women cannot be stressed… at
all. And even if they’re having the best pregnancy yet, having a therapeutic
massage will sill help in reducing the stress hormones as well as loosening the
muscles of the body. Moreover, improved blood circulation is very helpful to an
expecting mom’s lymphatic system, as it helps the body flush out toxins.
That’s not all. Regular pregnancy massage can help
with back pain, leg pain, leg cramping, neck pain, carpal tunnel pain,
insomnia, sciatica, hands and feet swelling, relieve headaches, relieve sinus
congestions and even prenatal depression.
The best part is yet to come. You should be happy
to know that a relaxed and happy mother, makes for a relaxed and happy baby
too. When mommy feels relaxed, she will be more connected to her baby and in
tune with her pregnancy.
However, pregnant mothers should be careful about
getting a prenatal therapeutic massage. It should only be done by a professional
prenatal masseuse because this type of massage is different from the regular
ones. It is also not recommended to have pregnancy massage during the first trimester.Nonetheless,
it is advised that pregnant women should consult with their doctors first
before getting the massage, especially those with pregnancy complications.
You should look around for a massage center that
specifically offers prenatal massage. And you should ask about their therapist
too. It is important that the therapist knows how to position you during the
massage session and what parts of the body should be touched or not.
During the therapeutic massage session, it is very
important that you feel comfortable all the way through. Any discomfort may put
you and the baby at risk. If you feel any discomfort, do inform the masseuse
right away.
