Benefits of a Prenatal Massage

• Headaches can be relieved by massage focusing on the head, neck and shoulders. In addition, maintaining optimal levels of stress relief through massage reduces the chances of migraines or tension headaches by relaxing trigger points and muscle spasms.
• Muscle tension created by carrying the extra weight of a baby can be relieved by encouraging blood flow to the afflicted areas. This provides more nutrient-rich oxygen and also increases the flow of lymphatic fluid, which sweeps away toxins and metabolic waste.
• Fatigue, backaches, leg cramps and swelling/edema can all be relieved through various types of massage for pregnant women.
• The ordinary aches and pains of pregnancy are countered by the release of serotonin, your body’s natural anti-pain chemical which is stimulated by massage.
