Performing Pregnancy Massage to ease the diaphragm. |
In our Western society, pregnancy is in someways treated as an illness, rather than a wonderful time of reproduction and new life. Adapting nurturing touch and massage for the mother-to-be instills a sense of connectedness to her unborn child and a heightened sense of self awareness.
Pregnancy Massage is right for you if you are experiencing a low risk pregnancy.
Massage can relieve many of the normal discomforts during pregnancy - backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, swollen ankles and feet.
Medical Clearance may be required from your prenatal health care provider before treatment.
