Side-Lying Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy or prenatal massage is a gentle form of massage used to reduce stress and improve quality of life during pregnancy.
It can reduce swelling in the arms and legs and help with muscle and joint pain often experienced during pregnancy. Pregnancy massage can also help to reduce back pain, joint pain, and muscle tension.
We use a gentle, non-invasive approach to prenatal massage with techniques which help to improve circulation and reduce symptoms such as spider veins and varicose.
Benefits
CHILDBIRTH
It prepares you for childbirth, just as regular aromatherapy treatments aid in relaxing and harmonising the whole body.
LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Stimulates lymphatic drainage and the elimination of damaging wastes from the system and aiding in the prevention of fluid retention.
RELAXATION
It helps to alleviate the build-up of tension particularly in the neck and shoulders. In the later stages of pregnancy, the additional weight of the baby can sometimes elicit pain in the lower lumbar and spinal areas which can also be benefited by this treatment.
VENOUS CIRCULATION
It improves circulation, and helps to counteract the increased tendency for varicose veins, thread veins and hemorrhoids'.
GENERAL FEELING OF WELL-BEING
The therapeutic effect of the massage is enhanced by the essential oil(s) to alleviate tension and induce physical, emotional and mental relaxation.
MINIMISES FATIGUE
During the early stages and even more towards the end of pregnancy, fatigue can prove to be a common problem.
REVITALIZATION
Improves skin tone and aids in the reduction of small imperfections and blemishes.
TONES MUSCLES
Helps to reduce tendencies to cramp
as well as reduces aches and pains from distended ligaments.
