Pregnancy
Massage
Massage can be done at all
stages of pregnancy and
even in most high risk
conditions. A midwife's or
doctor's approval is not
needed but it is
recommended that your
caregiver be aware that you
are receiving massage.

Your massage therapist also
needs to be aware of what
is happening during your
pregnancy in order to
give you the best, and most
appropriate care possible.

Massage has the
great ability of
passing into other
areas of our lives, so
if mom is feeling
rested and
unstressed, the rest
of the family, and
Baby, will feel the
benefits of having a
happy,
relaxed, and
focused mom.

Questions about Pregnancy & Postpartum  Massage
Massage is an excellent way of treating yourself
during the miraculous but sometimes awkward stages of pregnancy.
In 1999, Dr. Tiffany Fields at The Touch Research Institute in Miami, published a report that    
showed women who have regular massage during pregnancy experienced:

* Improved mood
* Increased and more restful sleep
* Reduced anxiety
* Reduced back pain
* Reduction of pregnancy induced sciatica
* Lower blood pressure
* Fewer complications during labor
* An overall feeling of health and well-being for both
mom and the unborn baby
How can massage help me during labor?  
Labor is an exciting yet overwhelming time. You are excited  
to finally meet your new baby, yet fearful about the  
unexpected and unpredictable events that labor brings.  
Massage is especially helpful at this time.  

It can help to:                             
* Reduce anxiety  
* Reduce stress  
* Promote relaxation  
* Manage pain  
* Offer comfort and support  
* Lead to a successful labor and delivery  
Why should I get a massage after I have my baby?
Massage after pregnancy can be very helpful for the new mom.  Along with providing a time     
for mom to rest, relax, and get those sore muscles worked out, postpartum massage is          
essential for realigning the body's structures after the baby's birth.  It also allows the new       
mom to receive some nurturing and emotional support at a time when she is giving so much    
of herself to the new baby.

Massage can also benefit the post c-section mom by minimizing
the appearance of scar tissue and help both the physical and
emotional healing that is sometimes needed after a c-section.
