TREATMENTS
Pregnancy Massage
As well as feeling relaxed, there are many benefits to having a pregnancy massage, such as:
- Improving muscular discomforts such as leg cramps, muscle stiffness, tension and knots. Massage improves circulation and can therefore stimulate the flow of blood to these areas.
- Relieving discomfort caused by postural changes. It can help the lumbar region to regain balance and relieve discomfort.
- Sciatic pain during pregnancy can be caused by a tight buttock muscle, massage can help to relax this muscle and relieve the pain caused by the pinched nerve.
- Alleviating sinus pressure and headaches caused by tension.
- Dissipating swelling/oedema. Extra pressure your uterus places on your legs can lead to swelling in your feet and ankles. Massage can improve circulation and lymph flow to the affected areas, helping to reduce swelling.
