Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage
During Pregnancy, amidst the various changes that occur within the body, such as shifts in posture, weight distribution, and hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy massage emerges as a valuable tool for promoting overall health and well-being.
One of the key advantages of getting massages whilst pregnant in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters lies in its ability to restore balance within the body. As the baby grows, the body undergoes adjustments to accommodate the changes, which can sometimes lead to discomfort and tension in muscles, joints, and soft tissues. Pregnancy massage is designed to address these specific areas of concern, helping to alleviate muscle tension, reduce joint discomfort, and promote overall physical comfort. By focusing on these areas of stress, the massage contributes to an improved sense of physical well-being, allowing expectant mothers to navigate the journey with greater ease.
Reduce the aches and pains associated with pregnancy
What are the benefits of Pregnancy Massage?
Pregnancy Massage brings tailored benefits to expectant mothers. Here are some advantages:
- Relief from Tension: Pregnancy changes posture and weight, causing discomfort. Massage targets these areas for relaxation.
- Less Back Pain: Growing belly strains the lower back. Massage eases this by improving circulation.
- Better Circulation: Massage enhances blood flow, reducing swelling and promoting well-being.
- Stress Reduction: Pregnancy induces stress. Massage relaxes and releases endorphins, managing stress.
- Improved Sleep: Massage relaxes, potentially improving sleep disrupted by pregnancy.
- Hormone Regulation: Massage may regulate hormones, aiding mood and reducing depression.
- Joint Pain Relief: Hormonal changes lead to joint discomfort. Massage eases this through muscle relaxation.
- Labor Preparation: Massage promotes relaxation and body awareness
- Posture Enhancement: Massage improves posture by addressing muscle imbalances.
- Body Awareness: Massage fosters positive body image and awareness.
- Reduced Swelling: Massage minimizes edema through fluid reduction.
- Immune Support: Massage aids the immune system, managing pregnancy’s physical demands.
How will I be positioned during the massage and who is the therapist?
During the massage, your comfort is a priority. The therapist will work with you to find a position that suits your stage of pregnancy. You might lie on your side with supportive pillows or cushions to ensure proper alignment and relaxation. Alternatively, you could be in a semi-reclined position, also supported with pillows. The therapist will always prioritise your comfort and safety.
Our therapists are experienced and specialised in prenatal massage. They are skilled in adapting techniques to cater to the unique needs of pregnant individuals. Hiromi and Lauren, our Prenatal Massage Practitioners at Advanced Health, collectively have 8 years of experience in this specific massage sub-speciality. They are well-equipped to provide a safe and effective massage experience during your pregnancy journey.
FAQs
No you cannot. We only offer prenatal massage in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy.
This is worked out on a case by case basis. Generally speaking, we can get a marked improvement in 2-5 appointments.
A session consists of massage, time for you to dress and undress and time to communicate with the therapist to make your massage truly customized. This is done to ensure each and every massage session you receive from Advanced Health exceeds your expectations.
Sure, if you’d like to talk, go right ahead. The important thing to remember is that this treatment is all about you relaxing and enjoying the experience.
In many instances, people may feel more relaxed starting off talking, and as the massage progresses, enter a quieter state of relaxation.
Most importantly, there are certain times when you need to speak up. Let the massage therapist know if you get too warm or too cold, if the room is too bright, or if the pressure needs to be changed (lighter or deeper). If something is not working for you, please let your massage therapist know.
If you are looking to address a specific pain due to the increased load the body has to support during pregnancy then it is recommended to go more frequently at first, then slowly taper down to a maintenance schedule. Sometimes more frequent 60-minute sessions can be effective until your goals are met.
Frequency of sessions should be discussed with your massage therapist after your first treatment.
30 Minute Massage $75
45 Minute Massage $90
60 Minute Massage $110
75 Minutes Massage $130
