Table for Two Massage Victoria, BC, Canada

MASSAGE FOR THE MOTHER TO BE

Many women suffer from aches and pains, stiffness and tension during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the weight continually shifts in a woman's body. As weight adds to the belly it can put a large strain on the back. Massage can often help relieve problems such as back ache, sleeplessness, edema, headaches and other minor complaints. Before birth, back pain is extremely common in pregnancy. Poor circulation and sleeping problems also effects pregnant women. Massage can aid the circulatory and lymphatic systems which can keep blood flowing to both the mother and the baby and reduce fatigue. A pregnancy massage can relieve pain, reduce swelling and create soothing effects which can help relax and calm the mother to be.

WHY MASSAGE BEFORE, DURING AND POST PREGNANCY?

Massage therapy will reduce emotional stress, which in turn will reduce or eliminate the production of stress chemicals in the body. Stress chemicals (the fight or flight response), can be harmful to the body during a pregnancy.

Physical tough and massage techniques involving soothing strokes to one's back or neck can slow a busy, overworked mind and settle or centre a person. The communication of such a caring touch is also recognized by health professionals as an adjunct to pain relief, whether physical or emotional.
