How Can Massage Help?
Pregnancy
The American Pregnancy Association recognizes that massage reduces stress hormones while increasing dopamine and serotonin levels (which, among other things, help keep depression at bay). These changes in hormone levels also lead to fewer complications during birth and fewer instances of newborn complications, such as low birth weight.
With a growing baby and changing body, come aches and pains. Massage will help to relieve your tension and ease your mind. It is known to reduce swelling by pushing "stuck" lymph fluid and altering your blood pressure. A combination of massage, compression, stretches and light energy work will leaving you feeling relaxed and renewed.
Labor
During labor, tense muscles can cause excessively painful contractions. Massage can help to alleviate these. It may not only help relax your muscles, but aid in decreasing the sensation that you are having in regard to pain. Massage also promotes an overall bodily relaxation, combating the effects of the Fear-Tension-Pain cycle.
Relax the body, relax the mind, find the joy of birth.
