Congratulations on your pregnancy! Pre-natal massage is a wonderful way to support a healthy pregnancy and take great care of yourself and your baby. There are so many benefits to pre-natal massage:
1. Increases the flow of blood and lymph which helps speed up discharge of cellular waste, as well as helps with control of varicose veins.
2. With relaxation comes a lessening of the load on the heart. This helps because the elevated levels of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy increase your blood volume by 30-50%!
3. Increased lymphatic circulation lessens the incidence of edema in the lower extremities. Approximately 75% of pregnant people experience edema in the late 2nd through 3rd trimesters.
4. Reduces musculoskeletal aches and pains.
5. Regular massage during pregnancy can increase muscle flexibility and can be fabulous help in delivery and labor.
6. Stimulation of glandular secretions help stabilize hormone levels. Fluctuation of hormone levels in pregnancy can elevate incidence of mood swings, depression, and anxiety.
7. Massage soothes and relaxes the nervous system by releasing endorphins which brings on or elicits a general feeling of well-being.
Massage is safe to receive after 12 weeks of pregnancy, although it can be started earlier with a doctors written permission. Please note that for those who are considered "high risk", massage is always contraindicated.
I look forward to working with you!
