What are the Benefits of a Prenatal Massage?

Pregnancy takes a physical and mental toll on women at any age, especially first-timers. Aches and pains, weight gain, anxiety, sickness and swollen feet may all leave you feeling far from your best.

You have to take care of yourself. You have to relax and do whatever you can to make the pregnancy easier. And a prenatal massage is a fantastic way to do just that.

Why should you schedule a prenatal massage for yourself or a friend? Let’s take a look at the main benefits …

Alleviate Physical Discomfort

One of the major benefits of a prenatal massage is relief from common aches and pains.

An experienced therapist will know how to ease the following:

  • lower- and upper-back pain
  • leg cramping
  • headaches
  • varicose veins
  • heartburn
  • stiffness
  • tension / knots
  • constipation
  • hip-joint pain

Backaches are especially hard to cope with and can be extremely disruptive. You might struggle to get comfortable or even enjoy the build-up to the birth as much as you want to if you’re constantly in pain.

A prenatal massage could make a big difference.

Relieve Anxiety or Depression

Sadly, it’s very common to experience anxiety or depression during pregnancy. Research shows a staggering 52 percent of women have noticed an increase in their anxietyor depression during pregnancy.

Even if you’ve never been affected by either, you may still feel anxious or depressed due to the extreme hormonal changes taking place in your body. Prenatal massages can help to relieve stress and soothe anxiety or depression, easing you into a calmer state of mind.

Boost Blood Circulation

Your blood circulation will improve during a prenatal massage — benefitting yourself and your baby.

How? You’ll both receive more oxygen and nutrients, while your swelling may reduce too. Stimulation of the lymph system boosts your immunity levels and flushes toxins out as well.

Care for your Posture

Pregnancy affects your posture and alignment, especially as your baby grows. This can lead to more discomfort and make standing up straight much, even for brief periods, far harder.

A prenatal massage increases your flexibility and muscle tone, helping you carry the baby’s weight a little easier. Combined with relief of those tiresome aches and pains, better posture makes pregnancy less trying on the body.

A Safe, Comfortable Treatment

Prenatal massages are safe in the majority of cases, though it might not be the best choice if you have diabetes, diarrhoea, extreme nausea, high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia.

But if you are able to have a prenatal massage, your therapist will make sure you’re comfortable throughout the entire treatment. We always use special cushioning and positioning for the safest, most relaxing experience for moms-to-be.

A prenatal massage is a terrific way to pamper yourself and socialize with a friend or loved one in a tranquil environment. Astra Medi Spa offers a diverse range of massage treatments using classic and the latest techniques: hot stone massage, deep tissue massage, Indian head massage and cupping massage all offer their own benefits for people of all ages.
