Holistic Approaches
Prenatal Massage
Massage therapy by a prenatal specialist is generally good for both mother and baby. Pregnancy brings on many body changes and by relaxing the mother, reducing the flow of stress hormones to the baby and nourishing the coming child with increased blood flow, both mother and child benefit. Massage therapy can relieve the stress and pain in the lower back and pelvic area, relaxing the mother and leading to better sleep and ultimately an easier delivery.
Postpartum
Just as Prenatal techniques aid a pregnant mother and her baby, massage therapy after the baby is born is also healthy. Special strokes aid in relaxing the new mother, relieving stress while filling her physical and emotional needs. The physical goal is helping to restore the mother's body to its pre-pregnancy condition. Often, the release brought on during these sessions helps to avoid depression, supports breast-feeding efforts and generally helps recovery. Toning the muscular and connective tissue as well as encouraging the realignment of body weight and release of excess fluids is beneficial. A new mother finds renewed energy for the added duties with her newborn and gains support in renewing body strength and emotional well-being.
