At this very moment you are creating life! You’re a Golden Goddess, filled with strength and beauty and should you need to, you could lift
a car in order to save your child!!! Some may call you a super hero!! A
pregnant Wonder Women, if you will, sans lasso of truth and invisible
jet.
You may now bask in the beauty and amazing-ness that is you!
But wait! with this new power also comes the dreaded “side effects” of
pregnancy. Your Achilles heel, the darkness to your light! These
include:
Nausea
Muscle aches and pains
Anxiety
Stress
Swelling
Fatigue
Many women will at some point experience some, if not all, of
these “side effects”. However, there is a simple therapy that can give
immediate relief. Massage Therapy has provided positive results for
generations of pregnant women. Regardless of the culture, soothing
touch has played a role in calming and relaxation before, during and
after labour.
The benefits of Prenatal Massage are numerous. Among these are:
Easing aches and pains that come with your shifting posture as you compensate for the beautiful new belly you are now sporting.
Reducing swelling in the hands, legs and feet.
Decreasing pain and stress on weight bearing joints such as knees, ankles and feet.
Increasing circulation and digestion
Reducing fatigue
Increasing overall relaxation in the mother helps to regulate stress hormones and decrease anxiety levels in order to promote a healthier intra-uterine environment for the baby.
Getting a massage is a wonderful experience. Not at all like say ... drinking terrible medicine or going to the dentist. Let me paint you a picture; the room is warm, the lights are turned down, the table has cozy blankets and relaxing music is playing in the background. All that is needed of you, is to occasionally turn over while someone else eases away your tension, pain and stress.
The role of the Massage Therapist is to alleviate all your discomfort while at the same time venerating the Golden Goddess/ Pregnant Wonder Women that is you.
Registered Massage Therapists are trained health professionals who are aware of the adjustments needed during treatment for these special clients. If you are worried about massage while pregnant, talk to your therapist before hand and they can answer any of your questions. For any further questions please consult your Physician.
Your going to be a Mother!! You’re a golden Goddess with life giving powers! You deserve a massage.
