Prenatal Massage is one of the safest and most effective ways to reduce tension, stress and anxiety during pregnancy, resulting in a healthier mother and baby.
Recent studies have shown Prenatal Massage has a positive effect on hormone levels in the body during pregnancy. One study found that biweekly massage for five weeks during pregnancy lowered levels of the stress hormones cortisol and norepinephrine and increased levels of the feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine. These hormone changes led to fewer complications during labor and fewer newborn complications like low birth weight.
Prenatal Massage relaxes tight, overworked muscles and brings relief to the back, shoulder, hip and sciatic pain experienced during pregnancy.
Prenatal massage can also reduce swelling, ease varicose veins, normalize blood pressure, foster deep breathing, minimize nausea and stimulate digestion and elimination, and treat other common discomforts of pregnancy
