The PRENATAL MASSAGE (over 3 months pregnancy), is a technique involving deep bodywork designed to improve your circulation, take some of the strain off your muscles and joints, and generally re-energize you.
Scads of studies show that massage can reduce stress hormones in your body and relax and loosen your muscles.
It can also increase blood flow, which is so important when you’re pregnant, and keep your lymphatic system working at peak efficiency, flushing out toxins from your body.
And it reconnects your mind with your body, a connection that’s comforting for those of you who suspect an alien has taken up residence inside of you.
During pregnancy, regular prenatal massages may not only help you relax, but may also relieve insomnia, joint pain, neck and back pain, leg cramping, and sciatica.
