Pregnancy Massage Pregnancy is a time to be pampered.  A therapist trained to perform pregnancy massage understands the changes occurring in the body throughout pregnancy.  Massage during pregnancy can promote increased circulation, thereby bringing fresh nutrients and removing wastes.  You may achieve greater energy and less fatigue.  Pre-labour massage helps sedate the nervous system, release endorphins which are natural pain killers and so lead to a state of deep relaxation Benefits: • Reduces and alleviates neck, back and sciatic pain caused by additional weight, improper posture and weakness or imbalance • Aids to increase local blood circulation to sore and tired muscles which in turn aids the elimination of metabolic wastes • Alleviates lower limb muscle cramping • Engages the parasympathetic nervous system which may have a corresponding effect to lower the blood pressure • A healthy strong body recovers quicker and adapts more easily to a new lifestyle with baby • May aid reduction of oedema as circulation increases.  Oedema most often occurs in the feet, ankles, wrists and hands If you would like to know more about our services or book a massage, please give us a ring on  (03) 383-5809  Web Design Bodymechanix Limited
