During this segment we discussed the benefits of prenatal/maternity massage. Maternity massage helps to relieve muscle aches and common joint pain. Massage during pregnancy can even improve labor outcome as well as new born health. Thats always good for mommy and baby! Massage during pregnancy can also decrease anxiety, headaches, as well as decrease symptoms of depression and irritability. Thats because massage releases the feel good hormones called serotonin and dopamine allowing mommy to be to feel her best.
We also discussed some ways to relieve back pain with Swedish relaxation massage techniques. These technique are not only best for relaxation but elevating tension and the improvement of blood circulation as well. Massage also can help with posture by reducing strain and stress on the working muscles and ligaments by loosening and relaxing them.
A lot of pregnant women suffer from swelling of the feet and ankles from the extra weight gain, pressure and changes that are going on in their bodies. Prenatal massages can reduce and ease that swelling by promoting circulation.
We also talked about the best sleep positions for Mom to be. S.O.S. or sleep on side is recommended, particularly the left side. side laying with knees bent with a pillow in-between is not only comfortable but it also promotes blood and nutrients to the placenta.
Some important information to know about prenatal massage is when is massage recommended for expecting mothers. As a licensed massage therapist I always recommend that mommy to be consult with her doctor before scheduling a massage. Also prenatal massage recommended after the first trimester and thats around 15 weeks because of the risk associated with miscarriage before 12 weeks of pregnancy.
