Reduce Discomfort With A Pregnancy Massage In London

Did you know that massages are useful during and after pregnancy?

They’re just one treatment which can make us feel emotionally and physically better during what’s often a tumultuous time. Here at PelviCare we deliver massages both during pregnancy and after childbirth, when they bring different benefits. 

Why massages are useful during pregnancy. 

As your baby grows, your body goes through various changes. A massage can help target common issues like back and joint pain, relieving tension in these areas and helping to improve circulation. 

It can also reduce swelling, whether you’re suffering from it in the legs, ankles or feet. This can often occur because of increased fluid retention. Since massage encourages better circulation, they can reduce swelling and improve lymphatic drainage.

Not only that, massages can reduce stress and anxiety. That’s because they reduce cortisol levels, which can reduce issues like insomnia. A massage can also help our posture which is often affected by pregnancy. 

Our massage therapists only use techniques that are suitable during pregnancy. They’re trained to understand how to safely deliver prenatal massages.

After pregnancy, massages are also beneficial. 

The postpartum period is a time of recovery and adjusting to your new life. Childbirth can take its toll on your body, but a massage is just one way to aid its recovery. 

The postpartum period can be an emotional rollercoaster, with many of us experiencing mood swings or even postpartum depression. Massages are just one way to lift our mood, since they help to release endorphins (the natural mood elevator) and support our mental health during this critical period.

Postnatal massages can assist in reducing the swelling and fluid retention that often persists after delivery. All in all, it’s about helping you feel more like yourself again.
