Ante & Post Natal Massage
Massage is of wonderful benefit to treat and relieve the muscle tension and joint discomfort that can accompany pregnancy. Skilled and therapeutic touch helps to improve circulation, regulate hormones and provides nurturing and relaxation for mother and baby.
Reasons for massage in pregnancy:
- Backache often accompanies pregnancy, especially lower backache due to the increased weight of the baby and the changing shape of the body which increases the lumbar curvature of the spine.
- To de-stress mind and body - stress increases all anxieties about a pregnancy and can lead to premature birth in some cases.
- Constipation and digestive upsets (indigestion) can occur due to intestinal displacement by the growing foetus.
- To identify and reduce tight muscles e.g. postural muscles, primary and accessory respiratory muscles - to bring awareness to breathing and posture.
Aromatherapy in pregnancy. Aromatherapy is even more important when the heightened sense of smell during pregnancy is taken into consideration. Essential oils can help treat:
- Insomnia and fatigue
- Morning sickness
- Oedema - swelling of the hands and feet
- Mood swings - hormonal changes that produce an ever fluctuating emotional state
- Stretch marks
- Varicose veins
Post Natal Aromatherapy
Bespoke blends can be prescribed to help heal the body post partum. Aches and pains will be soothed away during your treatment and aftercare advice for sore breasts, cracked nipples, stretch marks or episiostomy/tearing will be suggested if required. Essential oils not only heal the body but can help with baby blues and post natal depression because of their uplifting and antidepressant properties.
