Benefits of Regular Prenatal Massage

By Andrea Stein

Pregnancy Massage is is a valuable component of prenatal care. It is safe for most pregnant women but if you have any questions you should speak with you Doctor, Mid-wife, or Doula. Our Massage services are available during all trimesters with Doctor approval. There are many benefits for women to receive regular prenatal massages, which include:

• helping prepare for an easier delivery by teaching the body to relax
• stimulates glandular secretions, stabilizes hormonal levels and decreases the ill effects of hormonal  changes
• increased circulation brings greater nutrition to the tissues of the body (including the placenta) and enhances the removal of waste products
• stimulates the lymphatic system resulting in more energy and less fatigue
• helps reduce the strain on the lower back, abdomen and shoulders
• increases muscle tone; releases muscle spasms; increases flexibility in the ligaments, tendons and  joints
• helps to sedate the nervous system, facilitates deep relaxation, rest and sleep
  
• In utero the baby also enjoys the benefits of a less frazzled, more relaxed  mother
