How is it different to regular massage therapy?
Pregnancy can be an exciting time, but it also brings physical discomfort as your body changes. One way to ease these aches and promote overall well-being is through pregnancy massage. But how does this differ from a regular massage therapy session?
Pregnancy massage is specifically designed to meet the needs of expectant mothers. Unlike regular massage therapy, which is tailored for a general audience, pregnancy massage takes into account the body’s unique physical adjustments, such as the growing belly, increased blood flow, and hormone changes. Therapists are trained to avoid certain pressure points that could trigger premature contractions or stress on the fetus, ensuring safety and comfort.
In a typical pregnancy massage, the therapist may use supportive pillows to allow the mother to lie on her side or on her back with proper cushioning. This position helps reduce pressure on the abdomen and promotes better circulation, which can alleviate common pregnancy complaints such as back pain, leg cramps, and swelling.
The benefits of pregnancy massage go beyond relaxation. It can reduce stress, enhance sleep, and relieve muscle tension caused by the additional weight and changes in posture. It may also help reduce anxiety and improve mood, creating a sense of well-being for both the mother and baby.
While pregnancy massage is a wonderful therapy for many, always consult your healthcare provider before scheduling a session, especially if you have complications. This ensures that the massage is a safe and effective treatment for your specific needs. If you are unsure if this treatment is suitable for you please contact our experienced reception team.
