About Pregnancy Massage

Benefits of Massage during pregnancy are:
- Stimulates Circulation.
- Helps with lymphatic drainage.

- Increases energy levels and brings about a sense of well being.
- Helps with deep relaxation and relieves emotional stress and anxiety.
- Keeps skin supple and elastic.
After-Care for Pregnancy Massage
- You may feel relaxed and sleepy after your treatment, take care if you are driving or working.
- Keep warm as massage and relaxation treatments can make you feel more sensitive to the cold.
- Drink plenty of water after your treatment to rehydrate your body, reduce fatigue and to help eliminate toxins from your body.
- Try to avoid eating a heavy meal, eat light for the rest of the day to allow your body to concentrate on the natural healing and encourage detoxification.
- Sometimes people experience some tenderness for 24 hours or so after a massage. If you do feel a little sore, do some light gentle stretches or take a warm bath. Remember to tell your therapist about your experience so that it can be taken into consideration in your next session.
