Massage During Pregnancy
Why Massage During Pregnancy?
Massage during pregnancy can be a wonderful way to ease back pain and relax your body as it goes through the radical changes of pregnancy. Some schools recommend a pregnancy massage only take place after the first trimester. Other schools recommend prenatal pregnancy massage therapy all the way to the birth of the baby. To be sure if a pregnancy massage is right for you, speak with your doctor.
Prenatal pregnancy massage therapy is becoming a popular solution to help prepare your body for birth and relieve many symptoms of pregnancy including:
- Swelling
- Back pain
- Headache
- Stiffness
- Tension
Special tables are used to accommodate your pregnancy belly, or some massage therapists choose to use body pillows to support your body so you are able to lie on your side during massage. Pregnancy is an exciting and life- changing event! If you are having trouble relaxing, try a massage!
