Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage is a specialized type of massage for pregnant women. It helps them feel better and more comfortable during their pregnancy, addressing pain, stress, and sleep issues, and it can even have positive effects on the baby. After the baby is born, massage continues to offer significant benefits for recovery and mood.

Swedish massage is recommended during pregnancy because it addresses many discomforts associated with skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormonal shifts. When done regularly, the benefits increase, helping to regulate hormones associated with stress and depression, which can be beneficial during labor.

Considerations

If a pregnant woman has certain medical conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or a history of preterm labor, she should consult her healthcare provider before getting a massage.
