Pregnancy massage can be of enormous benefit not only to the mother but also to the unborn baby. Massage during pregnancy can be a magical experience for both the receiver and giver. It emotionally and physiologically supports a woman during a time when her body is undergoing many changes and can help prepare her body for birth. Pregnancy is a wonderful time for women, but with the joys of a new baby’s development comes many changes to the mother’s body putting pressure on joints, ligaments and organs, often causing discomfort and pain.

There is ample evidence which supports the tremendous benefits of pregnancy massage. It can help alleviate aches and pains and other common health problems associated with pregnancy. Preparing for the arrival of a new baby brings much excitement, but also plenty of stress, massage can help to reduce stress levels due to its calming effect. Furthermore, research shows that the baby can benefit from massage as ‘feel good’ endorphins are released by the mother during massage are passed onto the baby. Quite often the therapist will feel the baby kick and move as it too responds to the massage treatment.
