Prenatal massage therapy helps provide regular blood flow to the uterus, placenta and fetus, promoting the delivery of oxygen + nutrients while accelerating the removal of toxins + waste in the body. It differs from regular massage with anatomical techniques applied that will in no way harm the mother or baby.
Prenatal massage therapy is also great for the mama to be - reducing joint pain, enhancing mobility, circulation, reduces edema [swelling], relieving headaches, anxiety + even helping sleep better.
Its typically safe and recommended to align your massage visits with your specialists once a month for the first 27 weeks + up to two sessions until 36 weeks. Always consult with your physician first + ensure your practitioner is made aware of your pregnancy. It seems there’s not a lot a massage can't help when growing a new life into existence + we want to be there to support you every step of the way.
