Antenatal Massage
Pregnancy is a tremendously exciting time in a woman’s life but it also presents challenges, both physical and emotional. I find that massage at this time is of great benefit as it is one of the simplest and easiest ways of naturally bringing balance to the body. During pregnancy, gentle massage is not only extremely relaxing but can also alleviate many of the minor ailments associated with pregnancy such as insomnia and backache. It can also assist with:
• improving energy and minimising fatigue
• improving circulation
• stimulating lymphatic drainage
• toning muscles
• combating aches and pains caused by distended ligaments
• alleviating tendency to cramp
• helping maintain skin suppleness
• helping prevent stretch marks
• inducing a feeling of well-being.
* Please allow an extra half an hour for the first session for the initial client consultation.
* The treatment lasts one hour. Antenatal massage should only be carried out from 12-14 weeks onwards unless a GP’s or midwife’s consent has been given.
