Pregnancy Massage South Woodford
Massage in pregnancy is a wonderful experience. It helps a women to relax, supports her body during a period of physiological change and helps to prepare the whole body for birth. Pregnancy can put a strain on the body and there are number of problems during pregnancy that women suffer from, the most common are:
- Lower back and Sciatic Pain
- Muscular stiffness
- Calf cramps
- Swelling of hands and feet
- Headaches
- Sinus congestion
- Insomnia/Fatigue
- Mood swings
Good for Mother
But women even if they are pregnant still cannot stop doing casual jobs, because dinner has to be cooked, house still has to be cleaned, and there is plenty to do preparing for baby’s arrival. It is important during this time, to relax and enjoy her time while she is carrying the baby. Massage provides a special time for the client to unwind and helps the women focus on her body and her baby. Massage can help to relieve aches and pains and other common health problems experienced during pregnancy.
Good for Baby
Massage is good for baby too. Research has shown that the unborn baby can be affected by the stress levels experienced by its mother. Massage has an indirect relaxing effect on the baby as the mother releases oxytocin and prolactin as a result of skin stimulation. Generally the more relaxed a mother feels during pregnancy, the more relaxed pregnancy and birth is likely to be.
