Discover the Benefits of Prenatal Massage
At Medical Day Spa of Chapel Hill
Prenatal Massage, just like any massage, has many positive health benefits. Options are limited during pregnancy and massage is a medically accepted and profound way to achieve pain and stress relief. It helps to reduce tension and joint discomfort that many mothers-to-be experience due to dramatic postural changes in the body. It helps relieve fluid retention by improving circulation and aiding in venous return. Improved circulation also increases flow of nutrients to the placenta and thus to the growing baby. Pregnancy can be a stressful time, and massage reduces stress in mother and baby and eases the entire process, right up to delivery, improving labor outcomes and newborn health.
Side-lying is one of the most comfortable positions for a pregnant woman. Our prenatal massage incorporates pillows and bolsters designed specifically for a pregnant body, so that you may achieve complete relaxation and comfort. Indulge yourself in something that is completely healthy and natural for you and your baby. Feel safe in knowing that you are in good hands with our highly trained massage therapists, in a peaceful, clean and nurturing environment.

Elizabeth gives an excellent massage and I am sure the benefits of relaxation through trained massage during pregnancy would be phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteRelaxation and stress reduction is a very important part of a healthy pregnancy and also in preparation for a new baby. It is amazing to me how many couples with years of infertility become pregnant when they stop stressing about getting pregnant.
ReplyDeleteThe evidence is clear good mental and physical health and both nutrition and exercise are beneficial for pregnant women and their babies.
This massage will also make a wonderful gift! Most moms-to-be are so busy preparing for the new addition that they forget about themselves!
ReplyDeleteI will recommend this to my tubal reversal patients since it will also be helpful for preoperative relaxation.
ReplyDeleteA tubal reversal patient had a pre-operative massage this week and said it was very beneficial!
ReplyDeleteThis is great information for any women wanting that extra stress relief during a joyous but stressful time.
