Perinatal depressions are common in pregnant women and sometimes cause significant risks to both mother and fetus. Pregnancy massage reduces the depressions, less incidents of prematurity and low birth weights.
Pregnant women often face Oedema which is caused by circulation problems and increased pressure on the major blood vessels. Prenatal massage in Perth stimulates soft tissues to reduce fluid retention (Oedema).
Pregnancy massage breaks down muscle tension, increases relaxation and promotes blood circulation. Increased blood circulation means less chance of stress or headache, generally resulting in better sleep.
According to a recent study, pregnant women who receive massage therapy throughout their pregnancy experience less pain and their labors are on average three hours shorter.
Prenatal and perinatal massage reduces tension and muscle tightness which in turn may result in better milk production and easier breast feeding.
