PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Pre Natal:
It is safe to have Massage the whole pregnancy... yay!
Women can begin massage therapy at any point in their pregnancy – during the first, second, or third trimester.
From conception to birth - Feet, legs, back, arms and neck are safe the whole time.
Pregnancy pillows may be used while the abdomen is small. Then expect to be propped up with pillows laying on your sides.
Indications:
Back, neck, feet pain
Sciatic nerve pain
Swelling
Restless leg
Headaches
Carpal tunnel
Relaxation
Post natal:
Massage therapy can be a great tool to smooth out this process as your body shifts from carrying a baby within to carrying a baby out.
Skeletal Realignment, gaining strength, healing, breastfeeding are all new activities that can be aided through regular massage therapy.
