Bay Area Expert Offers Prenatal Massage Care
Many soon-to-be mothers are constantly focused on getting ready for the arrival of their new baby. Between preparing the house, buying all the items needed for the baby and dealing with day to day issues, many moms forget to care for the most important thing for their babies: themselves.
A great way to ensure you are cared for as a new mother or to ensure a pregnant loved one is cared for is through prenatal massage. As a massage therapist in the East Bay, I have been proud to help many mothers find relief from common pregnancy pain, improve their mental state and enjoy other benefits through professional massage therapy.
In the sections to follow, I will discuss a few aspects of my prenatal massage services. Hopefully this will help you understand how prenatal massages can help pregnant women thrive and why it’s important to seek a massage from an experienced professional.
Professional, Safe Treatment
The main question or concern people have when looking into prenatal massage therapy is how safe it is for mother and baby. Pregnant women should put safety first, and concern over any treatment is understandable. While there are some massage techniques which should not be used during pregnancy, if your massage is performed by a certified massage therapist then there is very little risk of any adverse effects. For this reason, it is imperative you research your therapist and ensure they are experienced and certified to provide prenatal massages. When I give a prenatal massage, my focus is continually on the health of my patients. While there is a chance of mild soreness following a prenatal massage, most people feel no pain and only enjoy the benefits of the service.
Reduce Common Pregnancy Pain
As your body changes and grows during your pregnancy, it’s common to experience new and strange pain in various areas of the body. Prenatal massages are designed to address these pains, and can do wonders for sore backs, joints, hips and other growing pain areas. In addition, massage therapy is even proven to help with the nausea which usually accompanies pregnancy and can have many physical benefits by improving circulation and flexibility in key areas of the body.
Improve Mental Health
Pregnancy is stressful. No matter if it’s your first time being pregnant or you already have kids, each pregnancy is different and can introduce different stressors into your life. While there are many physical benefits to a prenatal treatment, the mental benefits are just as valuable for many of my clients. Many pregnant women feel immense stress, which is understandable, during their pregnancies. A prenatal massage is a fantastic way to let go of this stress and feel relaxed. Prenatal massages use proven techniques to promote relaxation and help clear distracting or anxious thoughts.
I understand many pregnant women have questions about prenatal massage and I am happy to help answer these and address any concerns you have. To learn more about my prenatal massage services or book your appointment today, check out my website or give me a call today.
