Monthly pre-natal massages with Stephanie Roche at The Spa Room have made this pregnancy a little easier. Muscle pain (some of which I suffered with before the pregnancy), muscle cramps, and general stress have all been relieved by professional prenatal massages in a calm setting.
Thank you to Stephanie Roche for sharing her thoughts on prenatal massage:
It’s no secret that pregnancy causes several significant changes in a woman’s body. Among these, fluctuating hormones cause ligaments to relax and the hips and pelvis to become less stable. Postural changes also occur, causing the pelvis to tilt forward. A woman’s center of gravity shifts, and there is often much strain put on the back, hips, neck, and shoulders.
Prenatal massage – much like regular massage – can be largely beneficial and therapeutic for those who receive it and may be experiencing these symptoms. Not only does it help you relax and feel good, but it also helps to soften muscles, ease soreness, reduce tension, and improve circulation and mobility.
Prenatal sessions and the techniques used for them are tailored specifically for pregnant women and their ever-changing bodies to maximize these benefits. Furthermore, studies have shown that regular massage during pregnancy can also lead to reduced anxiety, minimized depression symptoms, and improved labor outcomes and newborn health.
