Benefits of Prenatal Massage

December 4, 2018 by Full Circle Yoga KC Leave a Comment

Prenatal massage is a part of prenatal wellness that has so many benefits. I’ve always loved massages, but when I was pregnant I LOVED prenatal massages! They were just what my body needed as my body made dramatic changes during pregnancy. While it helped reduce the discomforts of pregnancy, it was sacred time to be present to the journey of pregnancy and feel myself emotionally connect with my daughter and then my son. It was time I was able to give my undivided attention to the monumental journey of pregnancy and begin to embrace bringing life into the world. Research suggests that prenatal massage can be instrumental in prenatal wellness and improved birth outcome.

Benefits include:

reduce anxiety
relieve muscle aches and join pain brought on my changes in hormones, baby growth, and body changes.
improve lymphatic and blood circulation
reduce swelling

Consult with your midwife or physican first, especially if you have a high risk pregnancy. Also, seek a massage therapist that is certified in prenatal massage.
