Massage in pregnancy
Massage in pregnancy can be really beneficial! It can help soothe the aches and pains caused by the body's tissues softening in readiness of labour, help to reduce swelling caused by oedema and also help you become aware of where you are holding any tension making you feel more at home in your body, it can also help you get a better nights sleep!
When you come for your pregnancy massage, depending on the stage of pregnancy you will find it is slightly different to your normal massage, you will lie on your side, I use pillows for your head and bolsters for you to cuddle so that you are very comfortable and giving you a wonderful feeling of being nurtured and looked after.
There are areas of the body that can typically become tight and tense in pregnancy, you may experience lower back pain or pain around the sacrum, you may wish to concentrate on these areas or you may prefer an hour of complete relaxation, we can discuss this at your initial consultation and ensure the best massage for you.
