Why pregnancy massage?

Pregnancy is a natural process in which a Mama’s body undergoes change on all levels. Some of these changes can cause discomfort, even pain, and particularly in our busy modern lifestyles, we are often left feeling frazzled and believing that we just need to deal with the discomfort as part of the journey. This often does not need to be the case, and there are many avenues for support that you can take. Massage has been used as one of the oldest modalities to support Mamas, and has benefits of supporting the body on a multitude of levels.

As a trained  NurtureLife® Practitioner, you can ensure safe and effective treatment from conception, right through to you day of birth, and beyond.

 Benefits of pregnancy massage:

  • Soothes and relaxes the nervous system, reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and creating a calm connection with your baby

  • Remedial relief for muscular aches such as lower back, hip and sciatic pain, leg cramps, muscle tightness and pain, and restricted movement

  • Improves circulation and elimination of waste products stored in the muscles - helping to combat fatigue

Side lying massage vs table with a belly hole?

Although lying on your tummy is tempting when pregnant, it is very much discouraged today as it has been shown that no matter how well supported the ' hole' is, there will still be strain on your abdominal ligaments. There is increased risk for abdominal separation. The added pressure from your therapist can put more strain on your lower back and abdomen. 

Let us instead support your spine, your abdomen and your comfort side lying so that you can fully relax knowing you can be remedially treated without risk to your body.
