Supporting Mothers-To-Be

Pregnancy massage has been proven to reduce stress hormones within a pregnant woman’s body. It’s also been shown to increase the levels of hormones which tend to be low in women who are depressed. At Natural Health N Healing Centre, we provide pregnancy massage tailored to your specific requirements. 

 

Our massage therapies can lead to a reduction in anxiety and free-floating concerns. There is often an improvement in general mood following a massage. Pregnant women generally find a massage rejuvenates their energy because it gives them an opportunity to rest and completely relax. A pregnancy massage can be particularly helpful for women who experience sciatic nerve pain. 

 

If you’d like to arrange a pregnancy massage service with our staff, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today. You can call us on (02) 6971 2402. We also provide remedial, relaxation, sport and hot stone massage treatments to clients in Wagga Wagga, Griffith, Narrandera and surrounding areas.

The Importance of Checking With Your Doctor

For some pregnant women, massage can relieve nausea and heartburn. However, it’s important to note that for others, it can make these conditions worse. Although massage may relieve the everyday discomforts of pregnancy—such as an aching neck, sore back, and heaviness in the pelvic bones, leg cramps, swelling of the ankles and feet and oedema (fluid retention)—it is highly recommended that you confirm with your doctor if it is the right approach. 

 

Certain techniques and types of massage may not be suitable for some pregnant women as it may put them at risk. By checking with a doctor in advance, you can make sure that any risks associated with a pregnancy massage are minimised. Additionally, your doctor will know if there are any health conditions or other considerations regarding your specific case which need to be taken into account when receiving a massage.   

 

At Natural Health N Healing Centre, we apply a holistic philosophy to all massage treatments. We will listen to your requirements and provide the treatment that works in alignment with your doctor’s recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How can I prepare for a pregnancy massage?

    Preparing for a pregnancy massage requires some basic steps. Before your appointment, it is important to inform your massage therapist about any particular health concerns or medical conditions you may have and which areas of the body need special attention. It is also recommended that you wear comfortable clothing that allows access to the abdomen, lower back and legs (stretchy fabrics are ideal). Additionally, it is a good idea to drink plenty of water before and after the massage session as this will help promote relaxation and reduce muscle tension. Lastly, if possible, try to relax prior to your massage session so that you can get the most out of it.

  • What can I expect during a pregnancy massage session?

    A pregnancy massage session can include a variety of massage techniques such as Swedish, gentle sports massage and deep tissue. Your therapist may also use special pillows and bolsters to support you in side-lying or prone positions. Before beginning the massage, your therapist should discuss any areas that need special attention and ask about your comfort level with pressure. They will then tailor the session to your individual needs. Your massage therapist may use light strokes to reduce tension and promote relaxation. Heavier strokes may be used for specific areas of discomfort that have been identified during the discussion before the massage begins.

  • How can a pregnancy massage benefit my child?

    Pregnancy massage can provide many benefits for both mother and baby, including improved circulation, reduced swelling and pain, enhanced relaxation and improved sleep. Massage during pregnancy can also reduce stress hormones and help a pregnant woman adjust to the physical changes she may be experiencing. Additionally, research suggests that prenatal massage can be beneficial to the unborn child by promoting better oxygen flow throughout their body. This in turn could lead to numerous positive health benefits such as increased cognitive development.
