Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health.
Massage therapy addresses different needs through varying techniques, one of which is called Swedish Massage, which aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood circulation through mild pressure applied to the muscle groups of the body. Swedish Massage is the recommended prenatal massage method during pregnancy because it addresses many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts during pregnancy.
The benefits of massage can improve overall prenatal health for many pregnant women. Along with the guidance and advice of a prenatal care provider, massage therapy can be incorporated into routine prenatal care as an emotional and physical health supplement proven to improve pregnancy outcome, and maternal health. Consult with your midwife or obstetrician before beginning any new therapeutic practice.
A technique that’s been successfully used by tens of thousands of pregnant women, looking for respite from the hardships of gestation. A tried and true method that is remarkably effective, when done right.
To benefit from pregnancy massage, it does not necessarily mean you have to see a professional massage therapist. In fact, research shows the results can be even better when the mother and the father (or birth partner) learn the basis of pre-natal massage. There are good reasons why, as well.
When done right, pre-natal massage has the potential of:
- Increasing the bond between the parents during pregnancy
- Alleviating many of the pregnancy discomforts
- Transmitting warm feelings to the baby
There’s something else you need to know about the Home Pregnancy Massage Guide. My goal for this book was not to tell a wonderfully long-winded make-believe story, or writing beautiful prose. I’m a midwife and a massage therapist, not a writer. I’m not good with metaphor or imagery, but I’m one of the best when it comes to pregnancy, massages and anything else baby related.
It’s a detailed guide with specific techniques and all the best practices of pre-natal massage. I spent several months creating a no-fluff document, that’s packed with all my professional insights, including unique techniques you won’t find anywhere else… because most massage therapists prefer keeping these secrets to themselves.
